A pit lake, formed at the end of mining activities, can potentially be sustainably utilized. Several mines in Indonesia have reached the end of post-mining, and some have been abandoned as voids that eventually become lakes. Pit lake planning needs to be conducted to ensure these lakes are useful and sustainable. One of the former mining areas that has become a pit lake is located in Central Kalimantan. The dimensions of the pit lake are 2,300 m long, 620 m wide, and approximately 68 m deep. The amount of water in the pit lake is estimated to be approximately 37.5 million m3. This research was conducted to determine the potential use of the pit lake by characterizing the factors affecting its sustainable use.
