  • (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]).

This paper evaluates Papua provincial assets which are not utilized or not optimally utilized in Integrated Economic Development Zone (KAPET) of Biak. Through a case study analysis, direct observation, direct interview and literature studies conducted in this research, we found that the KAPET of Biak assets which also are the Papua provincial government’s assets have not been consistently well maintained and protected. Several assets were unutilized and were abandoned. Considering the great potentials of KAPET- Biak area which has cultural richness, rich resources area, strategic position in the middle of world economic growth triangle and on the hub of the global route for trading in pacific region. It would be better to develop the KAPET-Biak and its assets for further zonal developmental concept in this more global world. The provincial government and all stake holders can also develop and utilize several assets to be the part of research and educational center (LIPTEK Lab and office). Keywords.

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.
