Abstract

This study, carried out between May and June 2023, aimed to assess the influence of landfill leachate on environmental conditions, specifically regarding the pollution of river water near the Banyuroto landfill. The parameter of the difference heavy metals in this study are Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe). The potential ecological risk index is investigated due to the harm to the nearby river ecology. The sampling was conducted at eight discrete locations in close proximity to the dump. The levels of heavy metals were quantified using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Furthermore, the Potential Ecological Risk (PER) technique was utilized to assess the potential environmental dangers that these metals may pose. The findings unveiled disparate concentrations of heavy metals across the various locations where point 5 of the sampling become most polluted area due to increased anthropogenic activities. The Mercury (Hg) concentrations ranged from 0.014 to 0.032 mg/kg, whereas the Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr) levels exhibited minimal variation in the below Limit of Detection (LOD). Lead (Pb) exhibited LOD readings, suggesting their minimum presence. The concentrations of Manganese (Mn) and Copper (Cu) were relatively low, whereas Iron (Fe) exhibited the greatest levels, ranging from 0.2405 to 1.2209 mg/l. The maximum potential ecological risk values were calculated and ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Hg (262.19) > Fe (20.35) > Cr (0.374) > Cd (0.245) > Cu (0.297) > Mn (0.100). Remarkably, the possible environmental hazards associated with all heavy metal characteristics constantly remained below the threshold of 40 except the maximum concentration of the total of Heavy Metals. This indicates that their concentrations present a substantial ecological danger in some situations.

Abstract

Waste management is one of the criteria for the evaluation of Green campus and sustainable university. Organic waste takes place in concern because of the domination of waste in university, such as food waste and dry leaves waste. Mismanagement in dry leaves will promote the campus area to look dirty. One method to control the dry leaves waste is the vermicomposting process. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the macronutrient content of dry leaves compost after the vermicomposting process. The research was conducted in the Faculty of Civil engineering and Planning, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta. The vermicompost sample in this study refers to the quality standards according to SNI 19-7030-2004 regarding compost quality standards. The results of vermicompost content value are obtained on day 56 is Phosphor amounting to 0.194%, amounting to 0.129% Potassium, and C / N ratio of 7.73. From the data that has been obtained can be concluded that the results of vermicompost are less effective as organic compost compared to the standards.

Abstract

As the regional organization responsible for fulfilling the community's water demands, the Municipal Waterworks in Indonesia, Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM), is expected to ensure consistent and equitable distribution of clean water. However, water leaks and other issues in PDAMs tend to reduce the amount of water distributed to the community. An initiative to address water demands at the provincial level has been implemented, placing specific emphasis on the distribution of bulk water across regencies and cities. This initiative is classified as a fundamental service under the Minimum Service Standards (MSS), which aim to improve the availability of water resources. STELLA 9.1.3 software is used in this study to run a policy model simulation and determine the best possible policy scenario for clean water management in Sleman Regency. Sleman Regency is expected to have a water deficit of 144 liters per second in 2035, according to water balance modeling conducted under Business as Usual (BaU) conditions. According to the policy scenario simulation results, show that reducing air leakage by up to 20% and implementing a strategy for maximizing air flow utilization (100%) between districts/cities can increase water availability by 283.72 liters per second.
