From time to time, utilization of water sources increases with increasing community needs, both for households and the industrial sectors. The existence of groundwater in this region is found in 2 types of typologies of the aquifer system, sedimentary and volcanic deposits. This research was conducted in the area of Gowa Regency with a combination of geospatial analysis and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The use of AHP is to provide weighing values for each parameter and sub-parameters used. The parameters used include geology and lithology, slope, lineament density, soil type, elevation, drainage density, and land use. The purpose of this research is to map the water potential in the area. The results of weighting from experts, obtained weighting of geological/lithological parameters 0.1523, slope 0.1083, lineament density 0.0760, soil type 0.2279, elevation 0.2651, drainage density 0.0887, land cover 0.0817. The results of the geospatial analysis of groundwater potential are divided into four potential categories. Very high, high, low, and very low. The total area of very high potential is 25.455,48 hectares; high potential 57.200,82 hectares; low potential 52.809,10 hectares; and very low potential with total area 40.817,59 hectares.
