Abstract

The Cirasea River can provide water for both the Bandung basin and agricultural irrigation. Intensive agriculture, industry, and land use changes could have an impact on water quality. The purpose of this study is to look at the origins of heavy metals in riparian water resources. Heavy metal analysis was performed on 13 groundwater and river water samples. Heavy metals in water sources were compared with sediment and soil. The samples were analyzed for heavy metals using an AAS instrument. The research method employs statistical, geographical, and heavy metal pollution index (HPI). The HPI for river water was 131, whereas groundwater was 93. River water with an HPI value of more than 100 is highly polluted, indicating that it is unsafe for human consumption and has negative health consequences. Data verification with heavy metals in sediments reveals the presence of heavy metals coming from geogenic circumstances in various locations in the upstream area. Heavy metals in downstream areas result from geological factors and anthropogenic activities in the surrounding area. The long-term effects of heavy metal pollution along the riparian zone will become apparent. More research is needed on communities that depend on groundwater supplies along the Cirasea watershed.

Abstract

The Cisangkuy Watershed is a tributary of the Upper Citarum River located in the Bandung Basin, West Java. Based one previous research, one organic pollution in the Cisangkuy Watershed is the presence of POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) compounds. POPs are organic compounds that can last a very long time in the environment (persistent) and have toxic properties for organisms. This study aims to identify and analyse the organic content of POPs and sediments in the Cisangkuy Watershed, as well as to analyse the source of pollutants and categorise them based on the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Identification of POPs compounds using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. Sediment sampling was conducted by grab sampling that involved 20 sampling points from upstream to downstream of the Cisangkuy Watershed (CS-1 to CS-20). Samples were collected from 9 sub-districts. The research location shows that the land activities at the sampling point include asphalt hot mix, pharmaceutical, textile, and manufacturing industries. The results showed the presence of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono (2-ethylhexyl) ester, 4,8,12-Tetradecatrienenitrile, 5,9,13-trimethyl-, and 2-Hexyl-1-octanol compounds at sampling points from upstream to downstream. These compounds were derived from chemical industry effluents, fossil fuel combustion, and agricultural activities. The compounds are classified as ‘industrial waste’ and ‘industrial waste with antibiotic properties’ by the Stockholm Convention on Organic Waste Management.
