Abstract The demand for preserving the aquatic environment is a top priority for the Indonesian government. The Banda Aceh coast has experienced anthropogenic developments since the 2004 tsunami hit. During the preliminary investigation in 2017, it indicated that the Banda Aceh coast had been contaminated. Here, we investigated water quality in Banda Aceh coast has been conducted during 2018-2019. We employed the Winkler titration for determining Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). Furthermore, we generated spatial analysis to show the distribution of BOD5 and DO around the Banda Aceh coast. As a result, BOD5 has been decreased with the value of 1.33 mg/L. Interestingly, the increased DO value of 1.48 mg/L indicated the presence of autotroph biota producing an oxygen atom during 2018-2019. A contrary influence of BOD5 and DO on NO3- was identified, which approximately 50% concentration of nutrient determined by oxygen availability in 2018, while it was less than 5% for the 2019 survey. In conclusion, we suspect that the Banda Aceh coast is categorized as polluted waters for marine biota and tourism.

This paper describes a preliminary investigation that identified factors important in the prediction of river water quality, especially regarding dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration. Intermittent discharges from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) within the sewerage, and overflows at water reclamation works (WRW) cause dynamic conditions with respect to both river hydraulics and water quality. The impact of such discharges has been investigated under both wet and dry weather flow conditions. Data collected from the River Maun, UK, has shown that an immediate, transient oxygen demand exists downstream of an outfall during storm conditions. The presence of a delayed oxygen demand has also been identified. With regard to modelling, initial investigations used a simplified channel and the Streeter-Phelps (1925) dissolved oxygen sag curve equation. Later, a model taking into account hydrodynamic, transport and dispersion processes was used. This suggested that processes other than water phase degradation of organic matter significantly affect the dissolved oxygen concentration downstream of the location of an intermittent discharge. It is proposed that the dynamic rate of reaeration and the sediment oxygen demand should be the focus of further investigation.

The Mean

In Bahar County (Iran), rivers are among the important sources of water for the agricultural sector. Therefore, this research evaluated the parameters of temperature, pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), turbidity, nitrate, total phosphate, dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), and fecal coliform at five stations for five months (from February 2015 to June 2015) to determine water quality in the rivers. Based on this evaluation, the NSFWQI index was calculated and, finally, the routes of the rivers were zoned. The best water quality was recorded at Station Number 3 with the NSFWQI Value of 80 in January, and the worst at Station Number 5 (latgah) with the NSFWQI Value of 37 in June. Based on the mean NSFWQI indices, water quality was Medium at Stations Number 1, 2, and 4, good at Station Number 3, and bad at Station number 5.

The Difference

The use of surface waters such as rivers for domestic, agricultural andindustrial purposes have made them vulnerable to pollution leading to impairedwater quality. The water quality of Lahug River in Cebu City was evaluated usingcoliforms as indicators, in relation with physicochemical parameters such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate,pH, phosphate, salinity, temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS) and totalsuspended solids (TSS). Sampling was done once a month from November 2011to April 2012 in three stations covering the upstream, midstream and downstream.The multiple tube fermentation technique was used for the analysis of coliforms.The level of these indicator bacteria increased from the upstream towards thelower reaches of the river especially in the months of February to April; however,the difference in values across time was not significant. This implies that therewas a continuous fecal pollution in the river. There were no statistically significantcorrelations between FCs and TCs with the physicochemical parameters. Anegative relationship was observed among FCs and TCs with pH, TSS, DOand nitrate (p>0.05). These results suggest the presence of sewage and organicpollutants in the river.Keywords: Aquatic Ecology, water quality, coliform, physicochemical parameters,experimental design, Philippines

Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat dan Silandak merupakan sungai besar yang berada di Kota Semarang. Terdapat berbagai aktivitas di sepanjang aliran sungai tersebut, diantaranya aktivitas domestik dan industri dimana buangan limbah masuk ke dalam badan sungai sehingga menyebabkan penurunan kualitas perairan. Salah satu mikroorganisme yang terkandung dalam limbah domestik yang berperan sebagai indikator pencemaran yaitu bakteri coliform sehingga perlu dilakukan perhitungan total coliform guna mengetahui adanya pencemaran di Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat dan Silandak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kelimpahan total coliform, status mutu air berdasarkan PP Nomor 82 Tahun 2001 kelas II dan hubungan antara total coliform dengan bahan organik dan BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) di Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat dan Silandak. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode survei. Pengambilan sampel terdiri dari 2 stasiun (A dan B) yang masing-masing terdapat 5 titik dan 2 kali pengulangan (P1 dan P2). Variabel utama yang dianalisis yaitu total coliform, bahan organik dan BOD, variabel pendukung yang diukur yaitu temperatur, salinitas, DO (Dissolved Oxygen ) dan pH. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, jumlah total coliform pada stasiun A berkisar antara 240-16000 MPN/100 mldan 23-5400 MPN/100 ml pada stasiun B. Nilai total coliform pada titik A2 dan B2 pada P1 serta A5 P2telah melebihi bakumutu. Hubungan antara total coliform dengan bahan organik yaitu sangat lemah (nilaiPearson Correlation = 0,15). Hubungan antara total coliform denganBOD yaitu lemah (nilaiPearson Correlation= 0,378). Banjir Kanal Barat and Silandak Rivers are large rivers in Semarang. There are various activities along the river flow, including domestic activities and industries where waste effluents enter the river bodies causing a decrease in water quality. One of the microorganisms contained in domestic waste that as an indicator of pollution is coliform bacteria, so it is necessary to calculate the total coliform in order to find out the pollution in the Banjir Kanal Barat and Silandak Rivers. This study aims to determine abundance of total Coliform, water quality status based on PP No. 82 of 2001 class II and relationship between the total coliform with organic matter and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) in the Banjir Kanal Barat and Silandak Rivers. The method used in this study is survey method. Sampling consisted of 2 stations (A and B), each of which had 5  points and 2 repetitions (P1 and P2). The main variables analyzed were total coliform, organic matter and BOD, the supporting variable analiyzed were temperature, salinity, DO (Dissolved Oxygen ) and pH. Based on the results of the study, the total number of coliform at station A ranged from 240-16000 MPN/100 ml and 23-5400MPN/100 ml at station B. The total value of coliform at points A2 and B2 at P1 and A5 P2 has exceeded the standard. The relationship between total coliform and organic matter is very weak (Pearson Correlation value = 0.15). The relationship between total coliform and BOD is weak (Pearson Correlation value = 0.378).

The cooling water from a local oil refinery was sampled, analyzed and experimentally treated with UV light irradiation at a wavelength of ~254nm. Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and bacteria count (BC) were analyzed for the water samples over years to monitor the water quality. The experimental results showed that: 1) The cooling water quality (e.g. organic matters) varies significantly over the years’ operation, probably due to the change in weather (mainly the temperature); 2) The UV treatment was highly effective for the disinfection of cooling water. Within a 24 hour treatment period, it was observed that the bacteria count decreased from 3890 cfu/ml to practically undetectable, which is consistent with the UV/Vis analysis that the absorbance at 254 nm was decreased significantly over the time. The degradation of chemicals by UV was also observed in the experiment.
