Abstract

Brantas River is the largest river in East Java, flowing from the city of Batu upstream until downstream in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. This river plays a crucial role as a vital natural resource that supports the various needs of the surrounding communities. This study serves as a preliminary investigation with the primary aim of assessing the water quality in three different zones of the Brantas River: the upper, middle, and downstream sites. Additionally, this research includes a review to identify the organisms exposed to water pollution in the Brantas River. The study was conducted from November 2020 to April 2023, utilizing an exploratory observational method at 19 observation stations. The data obtained was subsequently analyzed using a descriptive approach. Various parameters were observed, including pH (a measure of acidity or alkalinity), hardness (the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions), alkalinity (the capacity of water to neutralize acids), nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, and heavy metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe). The research findings indicate that in several upstream areas of the Brantas River, there were elevated hardness, nitrate, lead (Pb), and iron (Fe) that exceeded the established water quality standards. In the middle section of the river, water quality was generally satisfactory, although a few locations exhibited slightly elevated levels of lead (Pb). Meanwhile, all locations downstream of the Brantas River demonstrated water quality that exceeded the prescribed standards. After a literature review, it was discovered that various biota in the Brantas River have been exposed to pollutants, including fish species and plants like Ipomea aquatica and Eichhornia crassipes. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to improve water management and monitoring plants and biota in the Brantas River to preserve organisms in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

Abstract

Synthetic textile dyes in the Tanjung Bumi batik coloring process in Madura, Indonesia, have been used extensively for decades, raising environmental concerns due to hazardous wastewater. This research aims to evaluate the quality characteristics of synthetic textile dye wastewater, assess batik artisans' awareness of batik waste hazards, and analyze the interaction between these factors. Wastewater samples were collected from four locations with two repetitions each. Thirty-seven batik artisans participated in a survey. The wastewater analysis included measurements of BOD5, COD, pH, TSS, phenol, Cr, NH3-N, sulfide, and oil and grease. The survey assessed the artisans' use of synthetic dyes and their awareness of environmental hazards. The results showed that the toxic substance levels in Tanjung Bumi batik waste exceed the quality standard thresholds for textile waste. Survey findings indicate that 100% of respondents use synthetic textile dyes, 83.78% dispose of waste without processing, and 91.89% are unaware of the hazards posed by synthetic textile dyes. There is a direct correlation between the artisans' low awareness of the negative impacts of waste and their lack of environmental preservation practices. The novelty of this research lies in its dual evaluation of chemical wastewater characteristics and socio-environmental awareness among artisans. This approach highlights the urgent need for educational interventions and improved waste management practices. The implications are significant for developing sustainable batik production methods and enhancing environmental awareness, contributing to broader societal benefits.

Abstract

The aquatic ecosystem in the Menala River has been degraded due to anthropogenic activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the water quality in the Menala River based on water physicochemical and benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators. Water quality was evaluated at seven stations based on anthropogenic activities in the surrounding. The physicochemical parameters measured included water temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, DO, TDS, BOD, nitrate, and total phosphate. Benthic macroinvertebrate data were used to determine the importance value index (IVI), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), evenness index (E), Simpson dominance index (C), the average score per taxon index (ASPT), and family biotic index (FBI). The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, biplot, and correlation test using PCA. The research result indicated that the concentration of DO (5.97 – 11.7 mg.L-1) at each station only fulfilled in class 3 of water quality, BOD (2.83 – 4.03 mg.L-1) in class 2, and Total phosphate (0.03 – 0.23 mg.L-1) only meets class 3. Based on the H', FBI, and ASPT index, the first station was categorized as clean water, the second to fourth stations were categorized as good to fairly poor, and the fifth to seventh stations were categorized as lightly polluted to probable severe pollution. Keywords: Benthic Macroinvertebrates, Menala River, physicochemical parameters, water quality.

Abstract

The irrigation water quality in Plosowahyu village, Lamongan District, Indonesia, has declined because of industrial waste disposal in irrigation canals. Specifically, waste from a metal-coating factory considerably threatens the aquatic ecosystem. To assess the impact, we evaluated water quality on the basis of phytoplankton diversity and various phys-icochemical parameters. We collected water and phytoplankton samples from four locations in Plosowahyu village: before the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) outlet of the metal-coating factory, at this outlet, and from two sites in Wahyu River, with three repetitions at each site. The study measured several physicochemical parameters, including total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids, conductivity, temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), bio-logical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrate, orthophosphate, bicarbonate, total organic matter, sodium adsorption ratio, and lead (Pb) concentration. Phytoplankton diversity, indicated by the Shannon–Wiener index, suggested that water quality was moderately polluted at the locations before and at the WWTP outlet, lightly polluted at Wahyu River 2, and clean at Wahyu River 1. Physicochemical tests revealed that irrigation water quality parameters were below Indonesian government standards at several locations: TDS at the WWTP outlet of the metal-coating factory, DO at Wahyu River 1 and Wahyu River 2, and COD at the WWTP outlet and both Wahyu Riv-er locations. BOD, nitrate, bicarbonate, and Pb concentrations were below standards at all study sites. Principal compo-nent analysis confirmed that the metal-coating factory considerably degrades water quality. A comprehensive irriga-tion water management plan must be implemented to protect and improve irrigation water quality in Plosowahyu vil-lage.

Abstract

Coast is suitable waterbirds habitat, but land use change could negatively influence the waterbirds life. The northern coast of Situbondo Regency, East Java Province, showed variations in land use quality. This study aims to analyze interaction between coastal land use changes on waterbirds diversity and community structure in the coast. Waterbird density was recorded based on the point count along the transect 100 m2 in six stations, namely Kampung Blekok, Tanjung Pecinan, Dubibir, Cemara, Banyuglugur, and Baluran National Park as the reference site. Land use quality in coastal areas was determined by satellites imagery. Habitat preference was determined by neu index. The results showed Tanjung Pecinan and Kampung Blekok stations were favourable waterbirds habitat, dominated by agriculture and low industry areas. These stasions better supported waterbird life and closed characters to Baluran one, where was dominated by mangrove forest and agriculture. This reference site showed highest diversity (H’ 2.26) and evenness (E 0.75), while preference habitat showed lower diversity (H’ 1.39) and evenness (E 0.29). On the contrary, Banyuglugur showed an industrial area, we found a low density species. Baluran and Kampung Blekok were habitat of three IUCN red list species, such as Ciconia episcopus, Charadius javanicus, and Leptoptilos javanicus.

Abstract

Bedengan Campground (BPB) Selorejo, Malang Regency, offers beautiful landscapes and is a priority for rural development with a mission of conserving nature, culture, and local wisdom. Until now, there have been no tourist services other than camping, while the potential of local nature needs to be developed for diversification and productivity of services. This initiative aims to assist managers in enhancing their guiding skills and launching new nature-based educational tourism programs to enrich outdoor classes, utilizing local resources, specifically: a) river biodiversity exploration for water quality monitoring (River Adventure Tour) and b) agroforestry exploration for watershed conservation (Agroforestry Adventure Tour). The program was initiated by inviting 20 high school, junior high school, and elementary school students accompanied by biology teachers, curriculum coordinators, or counselors. The eco-tourism program took place in three phases in September, October, and November 2024, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM WIB, with a half-day session for elementary school students. Leaflets were distributed in soft copy format prior to the tour. The managers underwent training in guiding skills. Subsequently, the BPB managers were involved in the implementation of the educational tour at three schools, starting as observers and eventually becoming guides. The results of the development and initiation of eduwisata show that the river exploration and agroforestry exploration tour packages can be carried out smoothly, with students showing great enthusiasm, satisfying all participants, and achieving the set recreational and learning targets. All teachers expressed appreciation and rated both eduwisata programs as highly engaging, relevant, with a clear mission, and enjoyable for enhancing students' knowledge and skills. Tour guides successfully improved their skills and tested this educational tourism program while continuously improving time management, governance, and organization.

Abstract

The study proposed identifying the changes in bacterial community and diversity and exploring the potential correlations among sediments parameters and benthic bacterial communities under different mangrove ecosystems rehabilitation statuses. There were three sites: 1. Banyuurip Mangrove Center (BMC) as a restoration site; 2. Pulau Lusi (PL) as a degraded site; and 3. Kampung Blekok (KB) as natural site. The physicochemical parameters and benthic bacteria from the mangrove sediment of the three locations were observed. The data were analyzed statistically to determine the sites' variation and the correlation between parameters. The results found that the physicochemical parameters among restoration sites varied. Soil organic matter (SOM) in natural and restoration sites was significantly higher than in degraded sites. Cation exchange capacity (CEC), calcium and potassium ions, and soil conductivity of the restoration site were considerably higher than the other sites. According to diversity indices and taxa richness, benthic bacteria in the restoration were the most diverse. Proteobacteria dominated in natural and restoration sites; meanwhile, Firmicutes dominated in degraded site. Sulfurovum aggregans was found abundant in natural and restoration sites; meanwhile, Mesobacillus subterraneus was the dominant species in the degraded site. Furthermore, the bacterial taxa richness was positively correlated with SOM and the bacterial diversity was correlated with CEC and conductivity.

Abstract

The integrity of the water quality in the ecosystem must be maintained to provide benefits for the environment and the living creatures within it. The Singosari and Karangploso Districts have many springs which are usually used by the local community for various needs. Water quality can be evaluated using several types of bioindicators, and phytoplankton is one of the reliable bioindicators. This research aims to evaluate the water quality in Suceng, Nyolo, Sumberawan, Umbulan Ngenep, Nagan, Biru, Belik, Suko, and Umbulan Springs in Singosari using phytoplankton as a bioindicator. The research was conducted from June to September 2024. The physical and chemical parameters observed in the water were air temperature, water temperature, conductivity, total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate, orthophosphate, dissolved oxygen (DO), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Determination of the phytoplankton community structure profile was carried out by calculating taxa richness/TR, IVI, H', dominance index/ID, %PTV, and TDI. The results showed that all physical and chemical quality parameters have met the Indonesian government’s Class II standards.  The phytoplankton H’ values range between 3.39 and 4.32, indicating the water is uncontaminated by toxic materials. However, based on %PTV, Belik Spring is considered heavily organic polluted water (%PTV 70), and Umbulan Ngenep is classified as moderately organic polluted water (39%). Based on TDI measurement, it can be concluded that Nyolo, Suceng, Sumberawan, Suko, and Umbulan Spring were considered as oligoeutrophic (TDI 12.0-25.0), while Nagan, Biru, Umbulan Ngenep, and Belik were classified as mesoeutrophic water (TDI 25.7-45.3). Therefore, it is essential to control the human activities around the springs in Karangploso and Singosari.

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research Highlights from this results research: Restoration is a method to restore degraded mangrove ecosystems The success of restoration is measured by improvements in ecosystem services such as water quality, mangrove diversity, phytoplankton community structure and diversity Phytoplankton as bioindicator of water quality Anthropogenic activities are the main factor causing degradation of mangrove ecosystems Abstract The mangrove ecosystems in Bawean Island are degraded due to anthropogenic activities and land conversion. Plantation has carried out periodic which was continued in several mangrove ecosystems. This study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical water quality of several mangrove ecosystems in Bawean Island, and phytoplankton as bioindicators. The evaluation of mangroves in Bawean Island was carried out at 11 locations based on different naturalness and human activities surrounding. The physical and chemical parameters of water observed were air temperature, water temperature, pH, TSS, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), salinity, conductivity, nitrate, and orthophosphate. Community structure and plankton diversity measured include the Importance Value Index (IVI), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), Simpson dominance index (Id), evenness index (E), trophic diatom index (TDI), and pollution tolerant value (% PTV). The physical parameters of water chemistry show that it meets the quality standards based on Indonesian Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 except for nitrate and orthophosphate, but it is still under plankton tolerant. A total of 63 species from 7 phytoplankton classes were found based on the importance value index. Based on the TDI index, mangrove ecosystems Sawahmulya, Sidogedungbatu, Hijau Daun, Pamona, Pasir Putih, Sungai Rujing, Bangsal, Jherat Lanjheng, and Lebak were classified as eutrophic while Pulau Cina and Dekatagung were hyper-eutrophic. Based on %PTV, the Hijau Daun mangrove is the best mangrove ecosystem while other mangroves were classified as moderate and heavily level polluted.

Abstract

The riparian zone along the Tamiang River, Aceh Province, is an important habitat for the survival of the tuntong laut (Batagur borneoensis) which is already threatened with extinction. This study aims to evaluate the quality and role of the riparian zone as a habitat for B. borneoensis along the Tamiang River, which can then be used as a reference in conservation. Riparian habitat quality was assessed by calculating the Qualitat del Bosc de Ribera (QBR) index, which was determined based on the total riparian cover, cover structure, cover quality, and channel alteration. In addition, observations of water quality (salinity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen (DO)) and the number of riparian vegetation species were also carried out. Monitoring was carried out at five stations: Iyu River, Kampung Baru, Batang Lawang, Pusong Kapal Dermaga, and Pusong Kapal. The results showed variations in water quality between locations with DO and turbidity levels exceeding the quality standards set by the government. The richness of the types of riparian vegetation found ranged from 0-8 species (seedlings), 2-7 species (saplings), and 1-4 species (poles). The quality of riparian habitats in all study locations experienced significant degradation, including the euhemerobic and polyhemerobic (Hemeroby) categories, Cultural assisted system and Semi-transformed system (Naturalness), and Extreme degradation to poor-fair quality (QBR). The presence of B. borneoensis in the research location can adapt to the poor quality of riparian habitat. However, the density decreases significantly at higher salinity.
