(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]). -

Using Nemerow’s Pollution Index Method for Water Quality Assessment of Cimanuk River in West Java Ihya Sulthonuddin1, Djoko Mulyo Hartono2, Chairil Abdini Abidin Said1 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} 1Environmental Science Study Program, School of Environmental Science, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia, 10340 2Environmental Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, West Java, Indonesia, 16424 Abstract. The river water is one of the water resources that important in managing environmental sustainability, increasing economic growth, and realizing the social welfare of communities. This study aims to assess and analyze water quality of the Cimanuk river. The analyze of water quality in the Cimanuk river based on the Regulation of Governor of West Java (GWJ) Class 1, United Kingdom Technical Advisory Group (UKTAG), United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Ministry of Environmental Government Japan (MOEG), and Departement of Environmental Malaysia (DOE). Nemerow’s pollution index (NPI) method used to assess the water in the Cimanuk river from the years 2013 to 2018. River water sampling stations of the Cimanuk river are Boyongbong, Sukaregang, Tomo, and Jatibarang. Base on seven physicochemical parameters, this research found that the Cimanuk river is not meet the water quality standards with the value of TSS (81.57132.69 mg/L), BOD (8.416.53 mg/L), COD (33.9226.51 mg/L), DO (5.541.67 mg/L), and Ammonia (0.210.31 mg/L). The degradation of river water quality in the Cimanuk river indicated by increasing NPI value. NPI value of the Cimanuk river ranging from 1.04 to 7.51. -

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. -

With its dynamic characteristics, a river must be periodically examined to determine its water quality. This study aims to investigate the carrying capacity of the Brantas river in East Java, Indonesia. The observation was done by measuring TSS (Total suspended solid), TDS (Total dissolved solid), and oil and grease in the upstream zone of the Brantas river. This research used a descriptive method. The determination of the research stations was based on the condition of the watershed and its surroundings, assuming that there was a decrease in water quality. The sampling points include Pendem Bridge (1), DAM (local water company) Sengkaling (2), Simpang Remujung Bridge (3), and Samaan District (4). The results demonstrated that the upstream Brantas river at each sampling point had different pollution levels. Generally, the sampling point 1 (Pendem Bridge) was the cleanest zone compared to other sampling points. On the other hand, sampling point 4 (Samaan District) was the most polluted site of the upstream zone. -
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. -
