Hasil perhitungan LSI A, B, C, D, dan SI Standard Method APHA-AWWA-WEF menunjukkan bahwa tingkat korosivitas air di 9 waduk berpotensi menyebabkan korosi terhadap infrastruktur sumber daya air berbahan semen atau mortar dengan fc’ atau dengan nilai kuat tekan ≤ 30MPa. Kata kunci: infrastruktur sumber daya air, Langelier Saturation Index, Saturation Index, tingkat korosivitas air. Abstract. Water Corrosivity Level Againts the Water Resources Infrastructure Made of Cement or Mortar with fc' ≤ 30 MPa in 9 Reservoirs in Indonesia. Corrosion or damage that occurs in the infrastructure of water resources, especially those made of cement or mortar with fc' or with a compressive strength value of ≤ 30 MPa will be able to engender losses. Losses incurred, in the form of losses materially because of corrosion gnaw off all infrastructure assets and of course in losses terms of security, because it can threaten the safety of a human. Corrosion is a very important problem and will not be endless, as corrosion events occur continuously and sustainably. Corrosion events cannot occur by themselves, but because of certain factors that may cause corrosion. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of water corrosivity to the infrastructure of water resources made from cement or mortar with fc' or with a compressive strength value of ≤ 30 MPa in 9 reservoirs in Indonesia, to develop appropriate recommendations for the prevention and control of the water corrosivity to the infrastructure of water resources made from cement or mortar with fc' or with a compressive strength value of ≤ 30 MPa because cement is one of the most used materials today. This study uses water quality primary data. The methods of capturing, storing, and preserving water samples are carried out following the provisions of Indonesian national standard number 6989.57:2008. Water quality testing is done by accredited laboratories. The method of calculation uses the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) A, B, C, D, and the formula Saturation Index (SI) of the Standard Method APHA-AWWA-WEF. Calculation results of LSI A, B, C, D, and SI Standard Method APHA-AWWA-WEF show that the level of water corrosivity in 9 reservoirs has the potential to cause corrosion of water resources infrastructure made of cement or mortar with fc' or with a compressive strength value of ≤ 30 MPa. Keywords: Langelier Saturation Index, Saturation Index, water corrosivity level, water resource infrastructure.

Throughout the world, the lock-down period during COVID-19 (March 2020- July 2021) has reported an improvement in the ecological scenario with controlled anthropogenic activities. This study presents a comparative assessment of water quality of the highly polluted Khari river in Agra district (India) during the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic period of COVID-19. The result was analyzed in terms of water quality index (WQI), the most accessed tool used by various researchers to report the water quality. In addition, Aggressive index (AI) and Langelier saturation index (LSI) have also been determined. Further, multivariate analysis has been performed in terms of principal component analysis (PCA). ANOVA has been used to study the variance of the parameters. The study revealed a positive impact of pandemic on the water quality as the parameters improved during the post-pandemic period as compared to the pre-pandemic period. However, as the river was highly polluted during the pre-pandemic period, strict actions are required for further improvement in its water quality for agricultural, industrial and industrial use.

Abstract Mahananda River is an important river in India and Bangladesh, as the people of both the countries use the water extensively, without sufficient and reliable information about water qualities and pollution status. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the water quality of the river and to analyse the suitability for drinking, agricultural and industrial uses. This is why this study on the Mahananda River is extremely important for the region. For this study, samples from fourteen sampling stations were collected in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons in 2016 and water quality index (WQI), agriculture and industry-related indices were computed. WQI values designated two sampling stations out of fourteen sampling stations as ‘very bad’ category and another two sampling stations as ‘bad’ category. The pH values of some sampling stations slightly exceeded the upper permissible limit. USSL diagram analysis classified two samples of pre-monsoon season in C2S1 category which indicates a medium salinity and low sodium water. Magnesium hazard values of four sampling stations are above 50% suggesting not suitable for irrigation. However, some indices like sodium per cent, residual sodium carbonate and residual sodium bicarbonate, Kelly’s index, permeability index and potential salinity allow the water for use in irrigation purposes. Langelier Saturation Index and aggressive index values designate the water as moderately aggressive or non-aggressive. Ryznar Stability Index values designate the water as ‘aggressive’ or ‘very aggressive’ indicating unsuitability for industrial uses. Sampling stations S-1, S-2, S-8 and S-14 need special attention.

Groundwater from nine wells of three different districts, located at Sana’a  secretariat was analyzed for hydrochemical quality assessment. Measurements of water quality parameters including pH, EC, CO32-, HCO3-,Cl-,NO3-,SO4 2-,Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, K+, and Na+ were carried out . Classification of the groundwater samples according to Cl, SO4 2-, CO32- and HCO3-, hardness(H), total dissolved solids (TDS), base-exchange, and meteoric genesis was demonstrated. Suitability of ground water samples for irrigation and industrial uses according to sodium adsorption ration (SAR), ratio of dissolved sodium (RDS), residual sodium carbonate (RSC) and saturation index (SI) was also investigated. The results of this study showed that almost all ground water samples were of good quality that makes them suitable for drinking and  domestic uses. Results also indicated that even though some of the ground water samples were suitable for irrigation purposes, almost all of them were found not be good for industrial uses. Despite all drawbacks of the sewerage system built around Sana’a secretariat at the beginning of the first decade of the third millennium, the results of this study indicate that there is scope of significant improvement in Sana’a secretariat ground water quality.

Learning about the biology of the species is essential to the success of intensive farming. This study aimed to evaluate the semen of Thai tilapia during the four seasons of the year and thereby analyze their reproductive indices. Thus, 60 breeding males of Tilapia were used and were randomly divided into four water tanks and fed with isoproteic and isocaloric feed. The experiment lasted 12 months, starting from October 2014 and ending on September 2015. Thus, it was possible to collect sperm material of animals during the four seasons, twice a month, as well as to evaluate the water quality parameters in the tanks (temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen). The semen was evaluated from a light microscope in an increase of 100 x, then was activated with water. Motility was measured subjectively in the light microscope, as well as the percentage of sperm showing progressive motility. The duration was evaluated with the addition of a timer. For analysis of the morphology of the semen, the test consisted of morphopathology observation of 100 sperm focused in various fields throughout the slide in the light microscope. Once obtained, these data were analyzed through ANOVA and Tukey test as post-hoc analysis, with the help of the software R Statistics. Water quality factors (temperature, pH and2 dissolved) were acceptable and during the 12 month period the sperm of tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) had a good ability for fertilization, seen that it performed below the average of the percentage of critical abnormalities, and quality was perceived by the parameters that also influence fertilization (motility rate, duration of motility and vigor).
