Abstract

Urban rivers are increasingly threatened by pollution from domestic and industrial waste, leading to water quality degradation. The Pampang River in Makassar, an essential water source for residential, agricultural, and industrial use, faces growing pressure from untreated wastewater discharge. This study evaluates the current water quality status of the Pampang River by analyzing BOD, COD, pH, and temperature, and projects future pollution trends using predictive modeling. Water samples were collected from six strategic locations along the river to represent various pollution sources. BOD and COD were analyzed according to SNI 6989.72:2009 and SNI 6989.02:2019, while pH and temperature were measured in situ. A time series regression model predicted pollution levels over the next five years. Results indicate BOD (4.426–6.439 mg/L) and COD (34.1594–43.4827 mg/L) remain within regulatory standards but show an upward trend, potentially exceeding acceptable limits in 3–4 years. pH (7.39–8.08) and temperature (31.9°C–34.4°C) reflect the impact of detergents and urban runoff, threatening biodiversity and oxygen levels. Without intervention, the river's pollution will escalate, posing ecological and health risks. Sustainable strategies, including better wastewater treatment, stricter industrial regulations, and community-based waste management, are essential for long-term water quality sustainability.

Abstract

Expansive soils pose a major challenge to infrastructure stability due to their significant volumetric changes during wetting and drying cycles. Conventional stabilizers such as cement and lime are effective but carbon intensive. The use of agro-industrial residues combined with natural fibers presents a sustainable alternative, though it remains insufficiently investigated in tropical environments. This study examines the synergistic effects of rice husk ash (RHA), sisal fiber, and lime on the engineering behavior of expansive soil. Laboratory tests conducted in accordance with BS 1377 and ASTM standards included Atterberg limits, compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and California bearing ratio (CBR). XRF analysis confirmed the high silica content of RHA, indicating strong pozzolanic potential when blended with lime. The results showed that small percentages of RHA (12.5–17.5%) yielded the most significant improvements: plasticity index reduced from 32.6% to 12.7%, linear shrinkage decreased from 12.7% to 4.3%, the maximum UCS was 0.69 MPa, and soaked CBR increased to 48% compared with 3.8% in unstabilized soil. Beyond 17.5% RHA, strength and compaction performance declined due to excess fines and incomplete pozzolanic bonding. The findings from this study demonstrate that agro‑industrial residues and natural fibres can provide low‑carbon, locally sourced solutions for subgrade stabilization.

Abstract

Urban flooding in low-lying coastal zones like Way Lunik, Bandar Lampung, presents a growing challenge driven by rapid land use change, degraded infrastructure, and limited hydrological planning. This study combines high-resolution UAV-derived Digital Surface Models (DSM), national elevation data (DEMNAS), satellite imagery, and field-based drainage surveys to analyze flood risk in the Way Lunik watershed. Hydrological modeling shows that the watershed acts as a terminal catchment with low slopes and only two main discharge points, making it prone to runoff accumulation and tidal backflow. Significant mismatches between modeled and observed drainage patterns stem from blocked channels, informal settlements, and outdated infrastructure. Land cover analysis (2017–2023) reveals substantial growth in impervious surfaces, especially over former green or agricultural areas, increasing runoff and decreasing infiltration. Field surveys confirm drainage blind spots, unplanned flow paths, and encroached outlets in industrial and residential zones. The study also maps building types and clusters of flood-prone areas, often overlapping with marginalized neighborhoods and public facilities. By integrating elevation data, UAV imagery, and ground mapping, this research provides a spatially detailed assessment of urban flood hazards, emphasizing the importance of watershed-scale planning, infrastructure renewal, and the role of UAVs in adaptive flood risk management.

Abstract

Scrap tires continuously generated due to increasing motorized vehicle use. In Indonesia, tire waste generation reaches approximately 11 million tons annually. One processing method is pyrolysis, which converts tires into carbon, oil, and metals. However, the carbon, comprising 25–30% of tire conten, remains underutilized. This study aims to compare the performance of Tire-derived Activated Carbon (TAC) and Commercial Activated Carbon (CAC) in Pb(II) removal from wastewater. The carbon was activated using 98% H₂SO₄ (1:1 w/w) and heated in a fluidized bed reactor at 600, 650, and 700 °C for 1 hour. The optimal TAC was produced at 600 °C, with a specific surface area of 103.162 m²/g. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of -OH, C=C, and C=O functional groups, and SEM revealed a porous structure. Adsorption tests at varying pH and initial Pb(II) concentrations showed optimum performance at pH 5 and 30 mg/L. The Langmuir model fitted the data well, indicating monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous surface. TAC achieved 96.32% removal efficiency in synthetis medium and a maximum adsorption capacity of 240.80 mg/g, significantly higher than CAC (62.68%, 151.366 mg/g). These results demonstrate the potential of TAC as an effective low-cost alternative adsorbent for heavy metal removal.

Abstract

The coastal areas of Karawang Regency are at risk of being affected by oil spills originating from oil pipelines leaking. The purpose of this research is to develop an environmental sensitivity index based on the assessment standards of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with research locations in the Karawang Coast. The results showed that the resources in the Karawang coastal area that sensitive to oil spills are shoreline type of mangrove  with a total length of 34.76 km of shoreline; consist of dense mangrove forest with an area of 173.14 ha; capture fisheries with 6,832 fishermen with a production of 9,319.38 tons/year; and aquaculture involving 5,643 fishing households with a production of 43,389.45 tons/year. The environmental sensitivity index value was concluded as very sensitive for mangrove beaches, mangrove forests in all locations and aquaculture in the Tirtajaya & Batujaya areas, while the capture fisheries and the capture aquaculture were concluded as sensitive. The environmental sensitivity index maps of the three themes indicated that the socio-economic component is the most sensitive component compared to other components. Specifically, the socio-economic components that were the most sensitive to the impact of oil contamination were aquaculture and capture fisheries areas.

Abstract

The management of used medical mask waste has become a significant issue due to the increased volume of waste during and after the pandemic. Medical mask waste contains cellulose compounds that can be converted into derivatives such as glucose, which are then processed into bioethanol as an alternative energy source. This study aims to hydrolyse medical mask waste using cellulase enzymes from Aspergillus Niger to produce glucose. The cellulase enzyme composition was varied (5 ml, 15 ml, and 25 ml) to determine the optimal hydrolysis conditions. The glucose produced was measured using DNS reagent assay with spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 540 nm. The highest amount of glucose was obtained under optimal conditions with 25 ml of cellulase enzyme after 48 hours of hydrolysis, amounting to 88.16 ppm. Subsequently, the glucose from hydrolysis was fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the fermentation product was analysed for ethanol concentration using GC-FID. The products of fermentation ware 0.017% ethanol concentration from mask waste fermentation. Hydrolysis is an environmentally friendly alternative solution for handling mask waste.

Abstract

Groundwater is vital for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use; however, previous studies have indicated that its quality often fails to meet drinking water standards. The sources of groundwater contaminants can be from domestic, industrial, saltwater intrusion, surface waste ponds, pipelines, mine pits, underground storage tanks, waste pits, etc. This research investigates the spatial distribution of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) contamination in groundwater surrounding fuel storage tanks, using the LeGrand method to assess groundwater vulnerability based on five physical environmental parameters. The study employs a quantitative approach, incorporating primary data from well measurements and secondary data from geological and land use maps. The results reveal that shallow groundwater levels significantly increase vulnerability to contamination, while the type of soil and aquifer permeability also play critical roles in contaminant transport dynamics. In the second research location, the analysis focuses on benzene contamination, with low concentrations below 0.02 ppb. Despite the low levels detected, the potential for contamination remains a concern due to the proximity of the gas station to residential areas. Statistical correlation analysis demonstrates a significant inverse relationship between TPH concentrations and vulnerability scores. The study underscores the importance of preventive measures to mitigate contamination risks, involving collaboration among stakeholders.

Abstract

Mining in Central Bangka Regency has continued to grow since the era of regional autonomy, with the dominance of alluvial tin mining which has a major impact on the environment. The rise of unconventional mining has exacerbated land degradation, increased the area of critical environments, and reduced the quality of ecosystems. This study aims to assess the value of sustainability based on the Mining Area Sustainability Index as a basis for formulating development policies.  The results show that mining activities cause a reduction in forest cover and an increase in the level of environmental criticality, especially due to unconventional mining which is difficult to control. The community has a positive perception of mining activities. The results showed a sustainability score in the less sustainable category (42.55), with the environmental aspect as the lowest aspect. To improve the sustainability score, a moderate policy scenario was chosen as the best strategy, focusing on managing environmental impacts, utilizing ex-mining land, and improving community health and safety. With the right policy approach and synergy between stakeholders, the sustainability of the mining sector in Central Bangka Regency can be achieved.

Abstract

In 2023, groundwater quality in Semarang declined due to excessive extraction, leading to land subsidence and reduced groundwater availability. Prolonged dry seasons caused drought in ten villages across five sub-districts. This study aims to investigate geological conditions, groundwater flow patterns, and the spatial distribution of pH, TDS, hardness, electrical conductivity, and major ions (Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Cl⁻, and HCO₃⁻). Additionally, it seeks to interpret groundwater evolution through Gibbs diagram analysis and identify groundwater origins using stable isotopes (¹⁸O and ²H). The methodology involves stable isotope analysis to trace groundwater sources and evaluate d-excess values, which are linked to drought conditions and recharge mechanisms. Water chemistry analysis was performed to characterize ion concentrations, while the Gibbs diagram was used to identify the dominant geochemical processes influencing groundwater. The study area comprises claystone, marl, sandstone, volcanic breccia, and alluvium, with 60 sampling points spanning Upper and Lower Semarang. Water types identified include NaHCO₃, NaCl, CaHCO₃, MgHCO₃, and NaSO₄. NaHCO₃ was the most common, followed by NaCl and CaHCO₃. Isotope analysis revealed several points with d-excess <10 (e.g., SB-10L, SB-20L, SA-4, SA-8, SA-29), indicating groundwater recharge from modern rainfall, typically characterized by d-excess values >10.

Abstract

Sustainable domestic wastewater treatment is urgently needed amid water scarcity and rising energy demands. The Constructed Wetland–Microbial Fuel Cell (CW-MFC) system integrates phytoremediation and bioelectricity production by electroactive microorganisms, yet previous studies rarely compared the synergistic effects of different plant species within this system, limiting its optimization. This study evaluated CW-MFC performance using three plant configurations (Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipes, and their combination) integrated with Lactobacillus plantarum at two concentrations (2×10⁸ CFU/mL and 5×10⁸ CFU/mL). The reactors were operated for 18 days under identical hydraulic conditions to assess BOD, COD, ammonia, and TSS removal efficiencies and power density generation. Results showed that Eichhornia crassipes achieved the highest pollutant removal efficiencies with COD reduction up to 82%, while the system with 2×10⁸ CFU/mL bacterial concentration produced the highest power density of approximately 1032 mW/m². Interestingly, lower bacterial concentrations yielded higher power outputs, possibly due to reduced microbial competition for electron transfer sites, enhancing electroactive bacteria performance. In conclusion, integrating Eichhornia crassipes with L. plantarum at 2×10⁸ CFU/mL optimizes both pollutant removal and bioelectricity production, confirming CW-MFC as an environmentally friendly technology with potential for sustainable wastewater treatment and renewable energy generation.
