Rumput laut (Gracilaria verrucosa) telah dibudidayakan di tambak tanah sulfat masam dengan kualitas dan kuantitas produksi yang relatif tinggi. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui peubah kualitas air yang mempengaruhi laju pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Pemeliharaan rumput laut dilakukan di 30 petak tambak  terpilih selama 6 minggu. Bibit rumput laut dengan bobot 100 g basah ditebar dalam hapa berukuran 1,0 m x 1,0 m x 1,2 m. Peubah tidak bebas yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan relatif, sedangkan peubah bebas adalah peubah kualitas air yang meliputi: intensitas cahaya, salinitas, suhu, pH, karbondioksida, nitrat, amonium, fosfat, dan besi. Analisis regresi berganda digunakan untuk menentukan peubah bebas yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi peubah tidak bebas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa laju pertumbuhan relatif rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam berkisar antara 1,52% dan 3,63%/hari dengan rata-rata 2,88% ± 0,56%/hari. Di antara 9 peubah kualitas air yang diamati ternyata hanya 5 peubah kualitas air yaitu: nitrat, salinitas, amonium, besi, dan fosfat yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan rumput laut secara nyata. Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian pupuk yang mengandung nitrogen untuk meningkatkan kandungan amonium dan nitrat serta pemberian pupuk yang mengandung fosfor untuk meningkatkan kandungan fosfat sampai pada nilai tertentu, melakukan remediasi untuk menurunkan kandungan besi serta memelihara rumput laut pada salinitas air yang lebih tinggi, tetapi tidak melebihi 30 ppt.Seaweed (Gracilaria verrucosa) has been cultivated in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds with relatively high quality and quantity of seaweed production. A research has been conducted to study water quality variables that influence the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds of Angkona Sub-district East Luwu Regency South Sulawesi Province. Cultivation of seaweed was done for six weeks in 30 selected brackishwater ponds. Seeds of seaweed with weight of 100 g were stocked in hapa sized 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.2 m. Dependent variable that was observed was specific growth rate, whereas independent variables were water quality variables including light intensity, salinity, temperature, pH, carbondioxide, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and iron. Analyses of multiple regressions were used to determine the independent variables which could be used to predict the dependent variable. Research result indicated that relative growth rate of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds ranged from 1.52% to 3.63%/day with 2.88% ± 0.56%/day in average. Among nine observed water quality variables, only five variables namely: nitrate, salinity, ammonium, phosphate and iron influence significantly on the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds. The growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds of Angkona District East Luwu Regency, can be improved by using nitrogen-based fertilizers to increase ammonium and nitrate contents and also fertilizers which contain phosphorus to improve phosphate content to a certain level. Pond remediation to decrease iron content and also rearing seaweed at higher salinity (but less than 30 ppt) can also be alternatives to increase the growth of seaweed.

Abstract The shortage of water worldwide is increasingly worrying. Studies in the field suggest that sustainable water resource management via water recycling is fundamental to alleviate the issue. The use of rainwater is an important alternative source that must be considered, mainly, in the water crisis facing the planet. When integrated with the concept of green roofs, the capturing and treatment of rainwater in these structures becomes an even more ecological and sustainable practice. The water drained by the roof can be used for non-potable uses, such as flushing toilet bowls. One of the main concerns when using rainwater, even for non-potable uses, is the quality of the water available, so as not to put users' health at risk. In this way, the present work proposes to experimentally analyze the quality of rainwater drained in a green roof prototype for reuse purposes. The green roof prototype was installed on an experimental bench. After each rain event (four in total), two water samples were collected in the following situations: rainwater captured directly by a container next to the bench, and rainwater drained by the green roof prototype, captured by a container through existing drains at the base of the prototype. The analyzes of the collected samples were carried out at the Environmental Engineering Laboratory (LEMA / UFRJ) and performed according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Specifically, the experiments examine physicochemical and biological parameters following a rain event on a green roof prototype for sanitary use. Experimental results that were observed and analyzed include color, turbidity, pH, ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, orthophosphate, total coliforms, and thermotolerant coliforms to indicate the rainwater quality from green roofs. The majority of parameters assessed were within the value thresholds indicated by the Brazilian standards, while the results of orthophosphate, fecal coliforms, color, and turbidity were not. The greatest divergence is in the concentration of orthophosphate, where a concentration of 10.88mg/L was obtained in this experimental study while other authors present values ​​of 0.1 and 0.01mg/L. Total coliforms also presented high values, but within the expected range. Comparisons with technical documents and international references related to water quality to identify possibilities of the use of rainwater were also conducted. Results indicate that the water quality has the same order of quantity for turbidity, nitrite, and ammonia nitrogen parameters across the standards. Based on such observations, filtration and disinfection processes are therefore required in the green roof system for the use of rainwater for sanitary. Finally, the experimental study of rainwater quality on the green roof presented similar results comparing with international references. The use of green roofs combined with the use of rainwater demonstrates the potential and benefits as an alternative to face the water crisis.

ABSTRACTAcidic waters was common problem in aquaculture in acidic soil area. Poor water quality in the acid sulfate soil pond has potential to decrease fish survival rate dan fish growth. Liming pond is one of method to neutralize (buffer) acid in fish pond. The aim of the research is to determine the best dosage of dolomite lime [CaMg(CO3)2] in acid sulfate soil pond to water quality, survival rate and growth of catfish. The research conducted on September-October 2016 in Laboratorium Kolam Percobaan, Program Studi Budidaya Perairan, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Sriwijaya, Indralaya. The research based on completely random design with four treatments and three replications. The treatments were different dosage of dolomite lime that are 6 (P1), 9 (P2), 12 (P3), and 15 (P4) ton/ha equivalent CaCO3. The research parameter were water quality, survival rate, and growth. The result showed that dosage 12 ton/ha was the best treatment that has highest survival rate 96.6 %, absolute growth of length 3.5 cm, weight 7.91g and feed efficiency 106,77%. Keywords: liming, dolomite, acid sulfate soil, seedling catfish
