Abstract

Groundwater is a critical resource for meeting the increasing demands of urban, agricultural, and industrial sectors. However, overexploitation and contamination pose significant threats to its sustainability. This study aims to assess the groundwater potential zones (GWPZ) within the Semarang-Demak Groundwater Basin, a rapidly urbanizing region in Central Java, Indonesia, where clean water availability faces mounting challenges. A geospatial approach integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to identify and classify GWPZ. Key factors analyzed include geology, lithology, slope, soil type, drainage density, rainfall, geomorphology, and land use/land cover. The results delineate the basin into five classes of groundwater potential zones, ranging from very poor to very good, offering actionable insights into areas optimal for groundwater recharge and extraction. Validation using groundwater table measurements from 71 infiltration wells confirmed a significant correlation between predicted zones and observed water levels. The results showed that zones with very high groundwater potential are concentrated in the central part of the basin, primarily due to favorable conditions such as high rainfall, alluvial formations, and low drainage density. These findings provide actionable insights for stakeholders to implement targeted groundwater management strategies, ensuring sustainable water resource utilization in the face of growing urbanization and environmental pressures.

Abstract

Mercury is a hazardous chemical that significantly impacts both the environment and human health. In Central Kalimantan, gold mining activities contribute to mercury contamination, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. Lake Lais, an oxbow lake along the Kahayan River, is potentially affected by mercury from upstream mining activities. This study aims to assess mercury contamination in Lake Lais water and sediment, and evaluate the ecological risks associated with mercury pollution. In September 2024, water and sediment samples were collected from five sites in Lais Lake. Water samples were collected from the surface using polypropylene bottles with added nitric acid to preserve mercury content. Sediment samples were taken using an Ekman grab and analyzed for mercury using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) at Balai Standarisasi Pelayanan Jasa Industri in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan. The results showed that water mercury concentrations ranged from 0.00 to 0.002 mg/l, which is within the limits set by the Indonesian government (PP No. 22/2021). However, sediment mercury levels ranged from 0.14 to 0.47 mg/kg, which can negatively impact the ecosystem based on international standards. Lais Lake was classified as having mild to moderate mercury contamination, with an ecological risk ranging from moderate to very strong. The Risk Quotient (RQ) exceeded 1, indicating high ecological risk. These findings highlight the need for regular monitoring and stricter regulation of mercury use in mining. Future research should focus on long-term impacts and seasonal variations in mercury levels to better assess ecological risks.

Abstract

Plastic waste discarded into the environment can easily enter water bodies. One as such for an example is the milkfish farming ponds in Kasemen Subdistrict, which have become a dumping ground for household waste. This has led to the entry of plastic waste into the pond waters, which can be degraded into microplastics. This study aims to identify the content and abundance of microplastics in fish and other fish parts such as: flesh, intestines, stomach, gills, water, and sediment, as well as to measure the water quality in the milkfish farming ponds in Kasemen Subdistrict, Serang City, Banten Province. A total of 12 milkfish were collected from 6 stations, with 2 fish taken from each station using the random sampling method across 6 hectares of the farming ponds. The quantity and types of microplastics identified in the samples were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis with software brand Meiji Techno. The results showed that the milkfish farming ponds in Kasemen Subdistrict were contaminated with microplastics, found in the fish's flesh, gills, intestines, stomach, water, and sediment. The microplastics identified were fiber, film, and fragment types. FTIR test results indicated that the microplastics found were made of polypropylene (PP) polymer.

Abstract

Indonesia's textile industry has experienced significant growth, yet it faces environmental challenges from dye waste, such as Indigosol Blue, which is classified as hazardous and toxic, requiring special treatment. The use of activated carbon in the adsorption process has proven effective, and the Kepok banana (Musa paradisiaca x balbisiana) peel, with its high cellulose content, is a potential raw material for activated carbon. This research aims to produce adsorbents from Kepok banana peel, activated by HCl, to adsorb Indigosol Blue using an adsorption column. The production of activated carbon was conducted through carbonization and activation processes. HCl with a concentration of 37% was used as the activator, where the soaking process lasted for 24 hours, and the activation temperature was set at 90°C for 120 minutes. The activated carbon was characterized using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR).  Based on the results of SEM analysis that illustrates the differences in topography and morphology of kepok banana peel powder before and after activation using various concentrations of activating agents. The results of FTIR analysis, the presence of O-H and C-O bonds indicates that activated carbon derived from kepok banana peel has more polar characteristics. If the initial colorant is increased resulting in higher adsorption efficiency. The results of this study indicated that the optimal wavelength for the Indigosol Blue dye solution, was 624 nm. The best adsorption efficiency was 88.5%, and the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.24 mg/g was obtained with an adsorbent concentration of 30 ppm.

Abstract

The availability of water and quality of clean water are increasingly affected by population growth. As the human population expand, the demand for goods and services rises, often leading to intensified in water use and pollution. This study examines the correlation between land cover changes and water quality in the Cisadane River Basin. Water quality data were collected as a time series from 2019 to 2022, focusing on eight parameters:  TDS, TSS, BOD5, COD, DO, TP, NO3-N, and NH3-N. Water quality classification was carried out using the Pollution Index (IP) method. Land cover changes were analyzed through visual interpretation using ArcGIS at a 1:10,000 scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the influence of land cover on river water quality. The results indicate that the overall water quality in the Cisadane River Basin falls under the ‘slightly polluted’ category, with noticeable influence from land cover changes. Between 2019 and 2022, built-up land increased by approximately 5.5% contributing to elevated BOD₅ levels in several locations, such as Babakan and Genteng, indicating rising organic pollution from domestic waste and urban activities. Conversely, a decrease in vegetation cover by around 6.3% at various observation points correlated with decreased DO levels, especially in downstream areas such as Tanjung Burung and Vihara, potentially disrupting aquatic ecosystem balance. These findings suggests that vegetation cover plays an important role in maintaining water quality and ecological stability, while the expansion of built-up and agricultural areas tends to elevate pollutant loads in river water. Therefore, the results of this study can serve as a reference for policymakers in spatial planning of the Cisadane River Basin, especially in developing land conservation and waste management strategies to improve water quality and maintain the sustainability of water resources in the region
