Abstract

Monitoring total suspended solids (TSS) is essential as suspended sediments impact the environment and human health in various ways. However, TSS data are limited in many regions because the methods currently applied through in situ measurements are time-consuming and labor-intensive. The study aimed to develop algorithms to estimate TSS using data derived from UAVs and field measurements. Remote sensing technology, such as unmanaged aerial vehicle (UAV), was applied to obtain imagery data to estimate TSS content. These results were then compared with laboratory analysis of in-situ water samples, determined by gravimetric methods following standard protocols. The results showed that the algorithm developed using three-band ratios, the blue/green + red/green + NIR (near infra red)/green, produces a high R2 (0.70), indicating that this combination is reliable for use in estimating TSS content in a river section. The high accuracy of the red band for suspended sediment prediction is attributed to its spectral signature in turbid water, which shows higher reflectance compared to clean water. The results of this study have the potential to help river managers obtain TSS data quickly at a relatively low cost.

Abstract

Urban lakes are critical in flood mitigation, providing fresh water, and offering green spaces in urban environments. However, many urban lakes face increasing ecological pressures from various human activities. This study assesses the water quality and morphometric conditions of three urban lakes—Dori, Walini, and Dora in the Cibinong Botanical Garden Complex in Bogor Regency, located in a high-rise residential area. The study aims to evaluate the current water quality, identify contributing factors to water quality degradation, and compare conditions across the three lakes. Data was collected between January and April 2023, utilizing a Geographic Information System (GIS) for morphometric analysis and water quality measurements. Water quality was assessed in accordance with the standards set by Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. Results indicate that Lake Dori, Walini, and Dora have surface areas of 3,406.96 m², 7,668.37 m², and 13,599 m², respectively. Based on water quality classifications, both Lake Walini and Lake Dori meet Class III standards (suitable for water use), while Lake Dora, though also in Class III, exhibits milder pollution indicators. These findings provide important insights for managing urban lakes and can guide future environmental policies.
