Water Quality in Three Reservoirs on the Citarum River, Indonesia WATER QUALITY IN THREE RESERVOIRS ON THE CITARUM RIVER, INDONESIA Simon Sembiring * *Reseacher, Research Institute for Water Resources Development Jl. Ir. H. Juanda No. 193 Bandung – 40135, Indonesia Fax : + 62-22-2500163 ABSTRACT Three large reservoirs have been built on the Citarum River in West Java over the last two decades. Saguling (completed 1985), Cirata (1988) and Jatiluhur (1967) are the first, second and third reservoirs respectively downstream from Bandung city. Saguling and Cirata were built primarily for hydroelectric power and Jatiluhur primarily for rice irrigation. Subsequently all three are used for industrial, domestic, fisheries, recreation and transportation purposes. Jakarta city, about 130km from Jatiluhur, plans to use the water from this reservoir as its main water supply. It has been known for more than a decade that the water of all three reservoirs is polluted by inflows of domestic sewage, industrial and agricultural wastes. In addition, considerable organic pollution comes from fish farming in the reservoirs. In year 1998 Saguling had 2500 floating cage nets, Cirata 2700, Jatiluhur 720 . A number of pollutants exceed the limits of the official water quality regulation standards of the government of Indonesia, particularly dissolved oxygen, zinc and iron. This paper give some updated information about the level of pollution. Unless the sources of pollution are controlled the effects of it presently seen in macrophyte plant infestation, algal blooms, fish kills and degradation of potable and industrial water will increase. KEYWORDS: Citarum , reservoir ,Cirata, Jatiluhur,Saguling, pollution, water quality. INTRODUCTION The Citarum is one of the main rivers in Indonesia, with a length of about 315km. Three reservoirs have been built in the middle basin between Bandung city and Curug where much of the water flows into an irrigation network. Saguling filled in 1985, Cirata in 1988 and Jatiluhur in 1967. Their original purposes were for rice irrigation for Jatiluhur, and hydroelectricity for the other two. The total power generated is 1350 MW for both industry and domestic use. Subsequently many other functions for the water have developed. Some general features of the reservoirs are in Table 1. The river has a typical discharge of about 50 m3/sec in the dry season and about 280 m3/sec in the wet season, with an annual mean of about 150 m3/sec.

The major pollutants are domestic sewage, industrial waste, arable agricultural runoff including pesticides, and animal husbandry. In the reservoirs themselves the pollution is the waste from fish farming. Domestic sewage. This type of pollutant involves organic material and so produces excessive consumption of oxygen (as Biological Oxygen Demand, BOD) and excess of the plant nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus that produce algal blooms and macrophyte plant infestations. The population in the upper Citarum River basin (Kabupaten Bandung including Bandung city) is about 6 million people, and in the Citarum catchment as a whole is about 11.4 million. Of this total population, about 64% discharge sewage directly into the river. 32% have septic tanks, and about 4% are said to be linked to the municipal treatment system in Bandung. Direct river disposal alone contributes about 173 tons of BOD per day. Depending on the efficiency of the septic tanks this figure could be up to double the amount (Table 2). For typical sewage this is theoretically equivalent to about 25-50 tons of nitrogen and 5-10 tons of phosphorus per day. Other references give 33.4 tons N/day of nitrogen and 4.4 tons P/day of phosphorus. Table 2: BOD loads for the Citarum catchment Population Municipal Septic tank Direct BOD load BOD load Direct kg/day kg/day 11,352,481 460,000 3,657,553 7,234,928 256,724 172,513 Industrial waste Most of the industries in the Citarum are based on organic raw materials and so BOD, nitrogen and phosphorus are significant. However, the manufacturing industries are also the most important sources of other contaminants such as heavy metals (zinc, mercury, selenium), phenol and cyanide. There are more than 2,500 factories of various industries in the Citarum basin and about 384 are in the upper part. Most are small but their combined pollution load is considerable. The textile and paper industries are the most important polluters, and next in order of importance are the rayon, pharmaceutical, food processing and tanning industries. The total BOD load is about 8 tons/day and the theoretical total nitrogen is about 1 ton/day. Table 3 gives a list of the major BOD industrial inputs for only the largest factories but which produce by far the most pollutants. Table 3: BOD load for each type of major industry in the Citarum basin kg/day Textile 3270 Paper 1841 Rayon 952 Chemicals 736 Communal sewage system 605 Food and beverage 136 Sugar 130 Tanning 82 Paper products 68 Textile chemicals 63 Basic chemicals 44 Printing 15 Mixed industrial estates 13 Single product food 10 Metal working 10 Fertilizer 8.7 Ceramics 5.8 Animal holding areas 5.3 Electroplating 5 Refrigeration 1.6 Pharmaceutical 0.6 Paint 0.14 Carpets 0.1 Arable agriculture waste This is most important for the excessive inflow of the plant nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. At 1993, the agricultural area in the upper Citarum was 27,976 ha. The annual crop sequence is mainly rice- cash crop –rice. In general the use of fertilizer (urea and TSP) is relative high. Urea application is about 200 kg/ha and TSP 100 kg/ha. According to Iskandar (1993), the pollution load from arable agricultural is approximately 2,800 kg/day for nitrogen and 600 kg/day for phosphate. Fish farming The effects of the type of pollutant are similar to domestic sewage. In 1985 there were about 200 floating net cages in Saguling reservoir. By 1999 this number had increased to 1,900. In 1999 about 1,700 nets were in Cirata and 520 in Jatiluhuluhur (Sembiring,1992) .Based on the amount fish feed needed for each net, the total amount of feed applied is presently about 35,400 tons 12,000 tons and 4,160 tons/year respectively for Saguling, Cirata, Jatiluhur. Approximately 10 percent of the total amount of fish feed is wasted and falls to the reservoir bottomKrismono et al, ,1992). Generally fish feed contains 24-26 percent nitrogen, and phosphor 0,96 percent by weight. So that the nitrogen input from wasted fish feed alone can be estimated as 880 kg/day, 300 kg/day and 104 kg/day for Saguling, Cirata, Jatiluhur reservoirs respectively. The corresponding phosphorus input would be 35 kg/day, 12 kg/day and 4.2 kg/day. The total amount of nitrogen and phosphorus from the fish farming would be much more than this however because it does not consider excretion from the fish themselves. Digestion for this type of basically herbivorous animal is only about 50-60% efficient, so that the inputs mentioned above could be up to 50% greater for the complete farming operation. Livestock waste Waste from livestock husbandry can become an important source of pollution. It is equivalent to domestic sewage in its effect. One cow is equivalent to 5 people. According to Iskandar ,1993) pollution loading to water from animal waste is about 3.3 tons N/day and 0.8 P/day. Total Nutrient Load Estimation of pollution loads to from the main sources entering the Saguling, Cirata and Jatiluhur reservoirs every day is summarized in Table 4. Table 4: Estimation total loads of nitrogen and phosphorus (kg/day) WASTE SAGULING CIRATA JATILUHUR SOURCE Nitrogen Phosphorus Nitroge Phosphorus Nitroge Phosphorus n n Domestic 33,350 4,370 5,800 760 1,450 190 Industry 21.9 - - - - - Agriculture 2,800 600 - - 782 167 Livestock 3,281 812.4 - - - - Fishery 605 24 300 12 104 4.2 -). No. data and very little impact It is very evident that by far the most important input of pollution is domestic sewage. All the other categories combined only amount to 20% of the total nitrogen and about 30% for phosphorus. It is also evident that the industrial inputs are the smallest of the categories. This would be so even allowing for the obvious errors and gaps in the data. Domestic sewage disposal is thus shown to be the first priority for pollution management policy, rather than industrial effluent management. EVALUATION OF WATER QUALITY Evaluation of water quality uses here the water quality standards (PP. No. 20/1990) of the Government Indonesia for: Raw Water Supply (Group B), Fisheries (Group C), Agriculture and Hydroelectric power (Group D). Generally the water quality improves downstream in each reservoir. This is because they function in a similar way as sedimentation ponds for sewage treatment systems. The majority of particulate material sinks to the bottom of the reservoirs. However, over time the lower reservoirs will develop worse water quality. The condition of both Saguling and Cirata is poor because their waters are completely deoxygenated below 5m from the surface. Jatiluhur remains oxygenated to the bottom at present, so the other two reservoirs should also be oxygenated to the bottom if there was no organic pollution.

  • (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]).

  • Citarum River, Indonesia
    Citarum River, Indonesia Pollutant: Numerous chemicals including lead, cadmium, chromium, and pesticides Population Affected: 500,000+ people directly, up to 5 million people indirectly The Citarum River Basin in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia covers an area of approximately 13,000 square kilometers, coming into contact with a population of 9 million people.1 The river provides as much as 80% of surface water to Jakarta’s water supply authority, irrigates farms that supply 5% of Indonesia’s rice, and is a source of water for upwards of 2,000 factories.2 A range of contaminants are present in the river, from both industrial and domestic sources. Field investigations conducted by Blacksmith Institute, for instance found levels of lead at more than 1,000 times the USEPA standard in drinking water. A 2013 APN Science bulletin found that aluminum, manganese, and iron concentrations in the river were 97 ppb, 195 ppb, and 194 ppb, respectively. These are all significantly higher than the world averages, which are 32 ppb, 34 ppb, and 66 ppb, respectively.3 The concentrations are also well above the recommended level’s of heavy metals in drinking water set by the EPA. Manganese in drinking water, for example, has a standard of 50 ppb to minimize adverse health effects.4 Water in the Citarum River has concentrations of manganese that are nearly four times those recommended levels. Importantly the Indonesian Government is taking considerable action on the issue. As an illustration the government has negotiated a 500 million dollar multi- tranche loan package with the Asian Development Bank to support efforts to rehabilitate Citarum.
