Abstract

Plankton serves as a bioindicator that can be used as a marker for water quality related to water saprobity index. Way Awi River is a river flowing from the Susunan Baru area, passing through the Tandjungkarang region, and reaching the Garuntang area. Liquid waste from households is often directly discharged into the river, without passing through a containment system such as a septic tank, resulting in river pollution. To understand this relationship, this research was conducted to determine the biological condition of the Way Awi River based on plankton community structure, including abundance index, diversity index, evenness index, and dominance index, as well as its correlation with water quality using Pearson correlation test. The research was conducted in the Way Awi River with sampling taken at five different stations from October to December 2023. Water samples were analyzed using physical parameters including water temperature and turbidity, while chemical parameters observed were pH, DO, BOD, and COD. Based on the analysis of plankton community structure, it was found that the water of Way Awi River is in a moderately polluted condition.

Abstract

The city of Banjarmasin is highly vulnerable to flooding due to its low-lying geographical conditions, numerous rivers, and significant projections of sea level rise. This study aims to examine the geographical and hydrological factors contributing to flood vulnerability in Banjarmasin, analyze the impacts and flood-affected areas, and evaluate sea level rise projections and the flood management strategies that have been implemented. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method to investigate the causes of flooding and the corresponding mitigation strategies. The findings indicate that flooding is caused by both natural factors and human activities, such as river pollution due to waste and poor drainage systems. Community participation remains low and tends to be seasonal. Flood mitigation efforts need to be strengthened through improved infrastructure, continuous public outreach, and active community involvement.

Abstract

The Pinus Ciherang area, located in Sukamukti Village, Cisayong District, Tasikmalaya Regency, at the foot of Mount Galunggung, holds great tourism potential, particularly with the presence of beautiful pine forests and the waterfalls Curug Badak and Curug Ciherang. However, this exceptional potential has not been well managed, mainly due to the local community's lack of awareness about the valuable assets in their surroundings. As a result, the area has not developed optimally. To realize this potential and address the issue of unorganized management, a holistic development strategy needs to be implemented. The objective of this study is to formulate a sustainable development strategy for the Pinus Ciherang nature tourism area through the identification of local potentials, community empowerment based on Community Based Tourism (CBT), and the application of the 4A concept (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenity, and Ancillary) along with digital innovation to enhance the local economy. This study uses a literature review method. The approach involves applying the 4A strategy and the principles of Community Based Tourism (CBT). Through the 4A strategy, natural attractions such as pine forests and waterfalls can be optimized, accessibility to the location improved, supporting facilities for tourists provided, and appropriate service institutions established.

Abstract

Rivers are vital freshwater ecosystems that play an essential role in maintaining environmental balance and supporting aquatic life. The benthic and planktonic communities serve as bioindicators of water quality and form integral components of the aquatic food web. This study aims to analyze the structure of benthos and plankton communities in the Jemile River, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra, and to evaluate their relationship with water quality parameters. The findings revealed the presence of Baetidae larvae, indicating clean and well-oxygenated waters, alongside Chironomidae, which tolerate organically enriched substrates. Among plankton, Brachionus was found as an indicator of eutrophic conditions, and Gyrosigma served as a primary producer. The diversity of organisms observed suggests habitat quality variations influenced by domestic, agricultural, and mining activities around the river. This study highlights the complex ecological dynamics of the Jemile River and underscores the need for continuous monitoring to support sustainable water resource management.

Abstract

  The home-scale batik industry in Pekalongan, while contributing to the local economy, generates wastewater containing heavy metal chromium (Cr) and organic pollutants, posing environmental risks. This study evaluated the effectiveness of phytoremediation using Eceng gondok (Eichhornia crassipes), kangkong air (Ipomoea aquatica), and their combination to reduce Cr, BOD, COD, and TSS in batik wastewater. Experiments were conducted at three wastewater concentrations (25%, 50%, 100%) over 14 days. Results showed significant reductions in all parameters: Cr removal was highest with WS at 100% concentration (93.9%), BOD and COD decreased up to 90%, and TSS decreased up to 91.1% with the WH-WS combination. pH (6.9–7.3) and temperature (27–32.8°C) remained optimal. These findings indicate that WH, WS, and their combination provide an effective and eco-friendly approach for treating batik wastewater in Pekalongan.
