Abstract Bandung City is one of the big cities in Indonesia with a relatively poor river water quality. Several improvement efforts have been made, especially by the government. This study aims to review these improvement efforts and the results obtained. The rivers that are the leading review are the Cikapundung River, Citepus River, Cicadas River, and Cipamokolan River. The data was obtained from the monitoring results conducted by the government environmental service bureau of Bandung and the Province of West Java. Based on the study results, it was found that there was an improvement in the water quality of the Citepus River, but this river had a non-biodegradation capacity in 2020. The high TSS, COD, BOD, and MBAS detergents indicate the dominating domestic activity in urban watersheds. The most significant control effort to improve the quality of river water in the city of Bandung is the availability of waste treatment at the source, both household and regional scale. Onsite efforts to improve river water quality also have a positive impact, i.e., applying an eco-enzyme solution and developing structures in the river for the aeration process.

Abstract The Santiago River is one of Mexico's most polluted waterways and evaluating its surface water quality during the COVID-19 outbreak is critical to assessing the changes and improvements, if any, from the nationwide lockdown (April-May 2020). Hence, the data for 12 water quality parameters from 13 sampling stations during April-May 2020 (lockdown) were compared with the levels for the same period of 2019 (pre-lockdown) and with the same interval of previous eleven-years (2009-2019). The values of BOD (14%), COD (29%), TSS (7%), f. coli (31%), t. coli (14%) and Pb (20%) declined, while pH, EC, turbidity, total nitrogen and As enhanced by 0.3-21% during the lockdown compared to the pre-lockdown period suggesting decrements of organic load in the river due to the temporary closure of industrial and commercial activities. An eleven-year comparison estimated the reduction of pH, TSS, COD, total nitrogen and Pb by 1-38%. The analysis of water quality index estimates showed short-term improvements of river water quality in the lockdown period, compared to pre-lockdown and eleven-year trend as well as indicated very poor quality of the river. The contamination sources identified by factor analysis were mainly related to untreated domestic sewage, industrial wastewaters and agriculture effluents influencing the river water quality. Overall, our findings demonstrated positive responses of COVID-19 imposed lockdown on water quality of the Santiago River during the study period, providing a foundation for the government policy makers to identify the sources of pollution, to better design environmental policies and plans for water quality improvements.

Monitoring Area

River Water with good quality status is the primary needs for the Indonesian people who live along the river. Indonesia has more or less 303 rivers with varied status of water quality. On the other side, the government is obliged to conduct the current situation mapping and to spread the status of river water quality to the surrounding society. It is certainly not an easy job considering the amount and width of the monitoring area. Therefore, this research has proposed a new concept to map the status of river water quality using the STORET method by involving the active participation of the local river community. The locations of research are: Kambaniru river, Brantas river, dan Gajah Wong river. There are seven parameters used to determine the status of river water quality those are: temperature, EC/DHL, TDS, PH, DO, BOD and Caliform. The river community can report the data of analysis result into a system in accordance with the sampling location by enclosing the spatial data. The system will present the status of water quality starting from each point of location to the status of water quality of certain river. The testing result functionally indicates that the system is able to give perfect accuration value. While from its usability, the respondents’ responses are as follows: very agree 60.40%, agree 37.95%, and disagree 1.65%.

Study Results

With scientific awareness of the main source of water pollution from conventional agriculture along the Dagu River Basin, Qingdao, China, this study aims to identify economic efficiency in introducing an environmentally friendly agricultural policy instrument. For more exact financial analysis, considered were benefits obtained by residents and farmers from water quality improvement and conversion cost from conventional to organic agriculture. A bivariate probit model was used to estimate the mean willingness to pay (WTP) for improving the water quality of the river and determinants affecting residents’ WTP were identified. Empirical results show that mean WTPs are CNY 5.71 (USD 0.83) and CNY 26.47 (USD 3.84) per month per household, respectively. The opportunity cost of volunteering activity hours is CNY 222.77 (USD 32.39) per month per household. Application to the residents of Qingdao would obtain aggregate total benefits from improving the river water quality of CNY 7.54 billion (USD 1.09 billion)- CNY 8.23 billion (USD 1.19 billion) per year. Farmers’ profit obtained by value transfer and price index adjustment is CNY 46.61 billion (USD 6.75 billion) from organic agriculture, which is more profitable. After the implementation of organic agriculture policy, therefore, the total benefits of farmers and residents are much higher than the total cost of conversion to organic agriculture. The study results could provide a preponderant economic indicator to policy decision makers for water quality improvement projects.

Objectives : 17 water quality measurement networks (WQMNs, tributaries) in Seoul were analyzed by using NSFWQI and cluster analysis to provide basic data for future river water quality management so that citizens could easily and comprehensively understand the water quality information on the rivers in Seoul.Methods : For the past 3 years (2015~2017), in order to estimate WQI, 9 items, DO (% sat), Fecal coliform, pH, BOD, Temperature change (TC), TP, NO3-, Turbidity and Total solids, were selected from among the 19 water quality data measurement items produced monthly from 17 WQMNs in Seoul. WQI was derived and graded using NSFWQI and cluster analysis was performed using Ward Linkage Method, SOM (Self Organizing Map).Results and Discussion : Water quality of most water quality monitoring networks was BOD Ⅱ grade (slightly good) or higher and TP Ⅲ grade (normal) or higher according to the standard of water quality and water ecosystem river living environment, and NSFWQI was also 64 (Medium)~89 (Good). All showed good water quality. NSFWQI does not show a significant difference by season, so it is believed that it is affected by anthropogenic sources rather than seasonal effects. As a result of examining the correlation between NSFWQI and water quality level according to environmental standards, it was confirmed that R2 has a relatively good correlation with 0.78, and there is no clear difference between the two groups, and through this, it was found that the currently implemented water quality rating system and NSFWQI are well matched. As a result of cluster analysis using ward linkage method and SOM for 17 WQMNs, it was largely divided into 6 groups according to water quality characteristics.Conclusions : It is important to manage pollution sources to systematically manage river water quality as a water resource. It is therefore expected that by converting from the complicated and various water quality information such as is found in this study into a simple water quality index and grouping, the river water quality can be easily understood and can be utilized in the future as basic data for water quality management in Seoul.

Abstract River water quality is one of the foremost concerns now a days as it plays a significant role in human and aquatic life. Mayur River, located on the northwestern side of the Khulna city, is important from numerous points of view like freshwater reservoir, navigation, water source for irrigation, ground for fishing and the main wastewater route of Khulna city. However along with human interruption, the unplanned and untreated crude dumping of domestic, industrial and household waste into it, the natural flow of the river is totally retarded and the river water quality has been degraded on a large scale due to water pollution. This pollution has colossal negative impact on day to day life of the inhabitants living alongside of this river as they use this water for domestic and sometimes drinking purposes. That is where the significance of assessing the water quality of Mayur River has come from. The core objectives of this study is to assess the water quality of Mayur River and to develop a model using statistical analysis between water quality parameters (WQP) and water quality index (WQI) to interpret relationship among them. Water quality was assessed on the basis of WQI calculation using National Sanitary Foundation water quality index method. The temporal WQI value showed that the water quality in Mayur River got worse in dry season than that of wet season due to dilution. Much higher values were obtained in case of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), turbidity, total solids (TS), chloride, phosphate, nitrate and fecal coliform (FC). Pearson correlation coefficient shows negative relationship among temporal average WQI with other parameters except pH. Regression analysis indicates that 99.7% proportion of variance of dependent variable (temporal average WQI) can be predicted from the independent variables (Dissolved Oxygen (% saturation), BOD, turbidity, TS, pH, temperature change, phosphate, nitrate and FC). Total nine prediction equations were formed using regression coefficients that may be helpful to predict the WQI on the basis of WQP in future.

The assessment of a river water’ quality is an essential procedure of monitor programs and is used to collect basic environmental data. The management of integrated water resources in a sustainable method is also necessary to allow future generations to meet their water needs. The main objective of this research is to assess the effect of the Diyala River on Tigris River water quality using Geographic Information System (GIS) technique. Water samples have been collected monthly from November 2017 to April 2018 from four selected locations in Tigris and Diyala Rivers using the grab sampling method. Fourteen parameters were studied which are Turbidity, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Sulphate, Phosphate, Sodium, and Total Alkalinity. The results of GIS maps showed that the water quality of the Tigris River nearly affected by the water quality of the Diyala River within the locations selected. The maps also reveal that in March and April 2018 the quality of surface water got a sudden peak compared with the other months. This is due to the increase in both the parameter of Turbidity and Total Dissolved Solids.
