Abstract

The Klampok River is one of the rivers that crosses the Bandungan, Bawen, Bergas and Pringapus Districts. The increase in the number of residents in the river basin which is not matched by the availability of land encourages the conversion of land functions that are not in accordance with their designation. The existence of the Klampok River as a water body receiving wastewater resulting from anthropogenic activities has caused the Klampok River to become polluted. Thus, it is important to study the water quality and water quality status of the Klampok River for nature conservation. This study aims to determine the water quality status of the Klampok River using the water quality index method, namely the National Sanitation Foundation – Water Quality Index (NSF-WQI) with reference to class II river water quality standards. NSF-WQI is a method that uses several specific parameters to determine river water quality.DO, fecal coliform, pH, BOD, nitrate, phosphate, temperature, turbidity, and total solids.The 2018 water quality index using the NSF-WQI method is in the range54.13 – 65.38with medium-good quality status. Meanwhile, the water quality index for 2019 using the NSF-WQI method is within the range35.47 – 66.60with moderate status, except for sampling point 6 which has bad status.

Abstract

Massive industrial and urban development can cause changes in the quality of river water, one of which is the Garang Watershed, located in Central Java Province. This river is situated in Kendal Regency (upper and middle) and Semarang City (middle and lower). This research examined the Garang River's water quality conditions, divided into four sub-basins: Garang Hilir, Garang Hulu, Kreo and Kripik. The parameter assessed in this research is TSS, TDS, Total Phosphate, Nitrate, and Total Coliform Parameters with a total of ten sampling location points were determined based on several criteria using GPS and the SNI 6989.57:2008 sampling method. TSS and TDS concentrations in March-April were observed to be high, especially at sampling point 10. In contrast, total phosphate concentrations were elevated at sampling points 2, 3, and 9; Nitrate values were observed to be high at sampling point 3 in March and sampling point 5 in April; Total coliforms were high at sampling points 1, 3, and 4, all of these is possibly due to domestic waste and the use of fertilizer by agricultural activities. This sampling quality assessment shows a close relationship between human activities and agricultural activities in river water quality, especially in the Garang River.
