2016 Field Report Tracking Jakarta’S Waters FreshWaterWatch 2016 FIELD REPORT TRACKING JAKARTA’S WATERS Ir Hendri Sosiawan We are very grateful for your care, let’s keep on training citizen scientists, collecting water samples Dear Citizen Science Leaders, and continue our efforts to disseminate knowledge We really appreciate your enthusiasm and about the importance of caring for water. Together commitment. we can secure a significant step in sustaining water availability and quality. You have put your Citizen Science Leader training in the classroom and in the field to practice by Ir Hendri Sosiawan collecting many water samples along the Ciliwung Agroclimate and Hydrology Research Institute River. REPORT FIELD You all are the ambassadors who care about the environment, especially the river ecosystem. This ecosystem is particularly vulnerable to pollution. You are all environmental researchers. Your commitment, passion and concern for the quality of the river water is admirable, thank you! Amazon Riverboat Exploration—2012 1 HIGHLIGHTS The highest concentration of nitrate and phosphate in the Ciliwung River is found during the dry season (July-October) and when the agricultural practices for vegetable crops is very intensive. We have found that the fluctuations of nitrate and phosphate concentrations in Ciliwung river are not only influenced by agriculture practices, but also depend on rainwater discharge during the rainy season or dry season. In a tropical country like Indonesia the water river discharge is significantly different between the rainy and dry seasons. So the abundance of nitrate and phosphate in the water during the rainy season was diluted by increased rainwater discharging into the river, even though the agricultural practices along Ciliwung river were at their peak. We are implementing FreshWater Watch as a part of integrated water resources management for the Kali Pusur and Kapilaler irrigated area in Klaten Regency, Central Java. We are also planning a collaboration with Indonesian government on a project in the Ciliwung-Cisadane River Basin. We are sharing information and knowledge to a group of farmers located on the upstream of Ciliwung river. We taught them how to apply proper fertiliser dosages for their agricultural practices. Reducing fertiliser use can have positive impacts on the nutrient concentrations in the water, and also reduce the likelihood for eutrophication. - FIELD RE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We sincerely give our thanks to our beloved colleague, Dr. Elleonora Runtunuwu who devoted her time, energy, mind and totally dedicated her knowledge and effort to conducting and supporting this Amazon Riverboat Exploration—2012 programme. May her soul rest in peace. 2 GLOBAL OUTCOMES Dear FreshWater Watchers, Thanks to your great contributions, we have reached 13,000 water quality datasets collected from more than 2,000 waterbodies across the globe. As this research gathers momentum I strongly encourage you to continue your efforts and refresh your skills on the FreshWater Watch website if you need a reminder. Your data are opening up new insights on freshwater ecosystems. You are helping researchers, water agencies, and planners better identify healthy waterbodies to be conserved and the degree of degradation that requires mitigation. Thanks to your measurements, Earthwatch and our partners are identifying drivers Prof. Steven Loiselle, to degradation of these fundamental environments. By using commonly agreed on University of Sienna thresholds for eutrophication — 1mg of nitrates per litre and 0.1mg phosphate per Research Manager, litre — your measurements show that, on average, 36% of the nitrate measurements exceed the threshold, and 27% exceed the phosphate threshold. Global Freshwater Research, These same measurements also hint that there is an important correlation between elevated phosphate concentrations and the increased occurrence of algal blooms. Earthwatch This builds a 2015 study that was published based on data from 13 FreshWater Watch cities. More and more people are joining FreshWater Watch and using the results of your measurements; the programme is being used as an example of private, public and NGO organisations working together to improve the environment on which we all depend. Thank you all and make sure you stay in touch and keep testing!

  • (Pb) Pollution in the River Estuaries of Jakarta Bay
    The Sustainable City IX, Vol. 2 1555 Analysis of lead (Pb) pollution in the river estuaries of Jakarta Bay M. Rumanta Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia Abstract The purpose of this study is to obtain information about the level of Pb in the sediment of the estuaries surrounding Jakarta Bay and to compare them. Samples were taken from 9 estuaries by using a grab sampler at three different location points – the left, right and the middle sides of the river. Then, samples were collected in one bottle sample and received drops of concentrated HNO3. The taking of samples was repeated three times. In addition, an in situ measurement of pH and temperature of samples was taken as proponent data. The Pb concentration of the river sediment was measured using an AAS flame in the laboratory of Balai Penelitian Tanah Bogor. Data was analyzed statistically (one way ANOVA and t-test student) by using SPSS-11.5 software. The results show that Pb concentration in the sediment of the estuaries surrounding Jakarta was quite high (20–336 µg/g). The sediment of Ciliwung River in the rainy season was the highest (336 µg/g). Pb concentration of sediment in the dry season was higher than that in the rainy season, except in Ciliwung River. It was concluded that all rivers flowing into Jakarta Bay make a significant contribution to the Pb pollution in Jakarta Bay, and the one with the largest contribution was Ciliwung River. Keywords: Pb, sediment, estuaries, dry season, rainy season, AAS flame. 1 Introduction Jakarta Bay (89 km of length) is formed as a result of the extension of Karawang Cape in the eastern region and Kait Cape in the western region into the Java Sea (Rositasari [1]).

In the past few decades, however, these mangrove forests have been largely degraded and destroyed during the process of development. The negative environmental and socio-economic impacts on mangrove ecosystems have led many government and non- government agencies, together with civil societies, to launch mangrove conservation and rehabilitation programmes, especially during the 1990s. In the course of such activities, programme staff have faced continual difficulties in identifying plant species growing in the field. Despite a wide availability of mangrove guidebooks in Southeast Asia, none of these sufficiently cover species that, though often associated with mangroves, are not confined to this habitat.

Bogor Agricultural University Abstract The limited supply of clean water led to some residents in the city, as well as business and trade areas using underground water. Optimization of land used in the development of new towns and expanded impervious land surface, thus reducing infiltration capacity, resulting in an increased volume of runoff. The use of underground water and the reduced infiltration of rainwater resulted in a decrease in the underground water table. To maintain the underground water table and preventing land subsidence resulted from the use of underground water as raw material for clean water. The effort required is how doing underground water conservation. This paper discusses the development of new towns to assess the natural landscape as underground water conservation efforts on the development of the new town. The research method uses a quantitative approach to calculate the potential runoff using a soil conservation service, while to analyze the trend of changes in land cover using temporal spatial analysis, using descriptive analysis.

  • Flooding in Jakarta Towards a Blue City with Improved Water Management
    MARK CALJOUW, PETER J.M. NAS AND PRATIWO Flooding in Jakarta Towards a blue city with improved water management Sunday, 27 January 2002, a large flood swept down on Jakarta and inundated several parts of the city.1 From the evening of 27 January to the morning of 28 January rain came streaming down, and the dike south of Jakarta broke. The pungent black water, with a hefty cargo of garbage, poured onto the main roads to Bogor, Kramat Jati and East Jakarta. In North Jakarta, in Kelurahan Pejagalan, Kecamatan Penjaringan, the flooding or banjir hit at midnight and continued until five o’clock in the morning, reaching levels as high as 20 cm. Even harder hit was Kelurahan Kapuk Muara, inundated with 70 cm of water.2 In West Jakarta the flood invaded houses and main thoroughfares. At Kelurahan Tanjung Duren Utara the waters rose 120 cm after the dike con- taining the Sekretaris and Gendong Rivers gave way, while the water at Tomang Barat Reservoir could no longer be controlled. River water spread over the housing estates and urban kampongs of West Jakarta. Daan Mogot Street and the housing in its vicinity were the first to be reached by the giant flood. Cars had to be evacuated before being overwhelmed by the deluge, and all furniture on the ground floor of two-storey houses had to be moved 1 This article is based on personal experience with floods in Jakarta, interviews with experts, and the study of historical material, newspapers, and official reports. 2 ‘Hujan lebat guyur Jakarta sejumlah permukiman tergenang’, Suara Pembaruan, 28-1-2003.

Pratiwi, Sigid Hariyadi, & Dhona Indah Kiswari Fakultas Perkinanan dan Ilmu Kelautan IPB, Dramaga Bogor Email: [email protected] Memasukkan: Maret 2017, Diterima: Agustus 2017 ABSTRACT Perifiton is one community of organisms that can adapt and thrive in the river, and relatively settled in one location. Riparian vegetation in the Mountain Halimun-Salak National Park could be expected to affect the community structure of periphyton. The purpose of this study was to identify the community structure of periphyton on different vegetation canopy coverage, to analyze relationship between the communities structure of periphyton and upstream Cisadane water quality conditions, and to determine water quality based on perifiton community. There were three sets three stations based on canopy coverage (80%, 60%, dan 40%). The results showed two groups of stations, the high canopy coverage (80%) and the low canopy coverage. The highest perifiton abundance was found at stations low canopy coverage, that dominated by Bacillarophycae, Pennales order, especially Navicula with higher rate of succesion than the higher canopy caverage. Abundance of periphyton of low canopy coverage was affected by ammonium, turbidity, and water current. Furthermore, in stations high canopy coverage it was influenced by orthophosphate and currents. As a whole, the periphyton community at upstream of Cisadane indicated a good condition of water quality. Keywords: canopy, periphyton, succession rate ABSTRAK Phyton merupakan salah satu komunitas biota yang dapat beradaptasi dan berkembang dengan baik di sungai, memiliki sifat hidup menempel dengan keberadaan relatif menetap di suatu lokasi.

The environmental isotopes were employed to study the interaction of shallow groundwater and river along the Cisadane River and Ciliwung River in Jakarta basin. The rapid growth and development of Jakarta and its surrounding cities, coupled with increasing industrial and other business sectors have impacted on the demand of the water supply for the area. These investigations have been conducted to determine the interaction between shallow groundwater and the river. The 14C results showed that the groundwater samples (above 40 m) which were close to the river influenced the iso-age contour of 14C, which indicated the contributions of river water. The analysis of stable isotopes 18O and Deuterium from the river implied that the river water from upstream to downstream was influenced by the mixing of the river water with the human activities in the upstream (the isotopic compositions becoming enriched).
