The waters of the Mamberamo watershed are around 7.7 million hectares. Some territorial waters are surrounded by jungles that are rich in unique biodiversity. Diverse biodiversity must be accompanied by a state of good water quality. So that the monitoring of water quality is very good in terms of physical and chemical physics parameters. Monitoring using chemical physics parameters has been widely used, but using aquatic biota is still rare, so it is expected to be more assertive in exposing the state of river damage. Aquatic biota used is periphyton. Periphyton has the potential to be a study of ecological indicators, a major producer in the food chain and its inherent nature in aquatic substrates. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of the periphyton community, determine the quality of waters in terms of chemical physics in the Mamberamo watershed and see the relationship between the two parameters. The method of determining the location was purposive sampling with descriptive analysis of the correlation results. Field observations and sampling were carried out on three tributaries and ponds in the form of flood-exposed lakes in the Membramo watershed in February, May, August and October 2016. The results showed the highest periphyton composition of Bacillariophyceae class followed by Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae. The diversity value of the Mamberamo river is 1 H '= 3 which indicates moderate diversity, and the dominance index value ranges from 0.15 to 0.45, which indicates that there is no species that dominates in the waters of the Mamberamo River. Based on the results of the water quality assessment in the presence of periphyton and the physical chemistry characteristics of the water, it is found that the criteria for river water quality are classified as good and not polluted.Keywords:Ecological indicatorsChemical physics characteristicsPeriphytonMamberamo RiverPapuaABSTRAKLuas perairan DAS Mamberamo berkisar 7,7 juta hektar. Sebagian wilayah perairan dikeliling oleh hutan rimba yang kaya akan keanekaragaman hayati yang unik. Keanekaragaman hayati yang beragam harus disertai keadaan kualitas air yang baik. Sehingga pemantauan kualitas perairan sangat perlu baik ditinjau dari parameter fisika kimia dan biologi. Pemantauan menggunakan parameter fisika kimia telah banyak digunakan, tetapi menggunakan biota perairan masih jarang ,sehingga diharapkan dapat lebih tegas dalam mengekspresikan keadaan kerusakan sungai. Biota perairan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah perifiton. Perifiton berpotensi sebagai kajian indikator ekologis, produsen utama dalam rantai makanan serta sifatnya yang menempel di substrat perairan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keragaman komunitas perifiton, mengetahui kualitas perairan dari segi fisika kimia di DAS Mamberamo serta melihat hubungan antara kedua parameter tersebut. Metode penentuan lokasi purposive sampling dengan analisis deskripitif dari hasil korelasi. Pengamatan lapangan dan pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada tiga aliran anak sungai dan telaga yang berupa danau paparan banjir di DAS Membramo pada Februari, Mei, Agustus dan Oktober 2016. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan komposisi perifiton tertinggi kelas Bacillariophyceae diikuti Chlorophyceae dan Cyanophyceae. Nilai keanekaragaman sungai Mamberamo adalah 1H’=3 yang menyatakan keanekaragaman sedang, dan nilai indeks dominasi berkisar 0,15-0,45 yang menandakan bahwa tidak ada jenis yang mendominasi di perairan Sungai Mamberamo. Berdasarkan hasil penilaian kualitas air secara keberadaan perifiton dan karakteristik fisika kimia air maka didapat kriteria kualitas perairan sungai yang tergolong bagus dan belum tercemar.Kata kunci:Indikator ekologisKarakteristik fisika kimiaPerifitonSungai MamberamoPapua

The present research was conducted to study seasonal limnological parameters and record composition pattern of aquatic macro-invertebrates of the Rampur Ghol. GRS-BIOS/ASPT index was used to calculate the water quality class, Shannon Weiner diversity index (H’) and Piélou evenness index (e) were used to determine taxa richness of the macroinvertebrates. Altogether 281 individuals of 14 families and 313 individuals of 18 families were recorded in dry season and rainy season, respectively. Similarly, diversity index and evenness index values were recorded 0.98 and 0.85 in dry season; 1.075 and 0.86 in rainy season. On the basis of different aquatic macro-invertebrates, GRS-BIOS/ASPT Index value of four sampling sites fall in class II (moderately polluted), four sampling sites belong to water quality class IIIII (critically polluted) and remaining two sampling sites belong to water quality class III (heavily polluted). Similarly, in rainy season seven sites fall in water quality class II (moderately polluted) and three sampling sites belong to water quality class II-III (critically polluted).Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2014, 19(2): 58-64

Pencemaran air adalah masuknya atau dimasukkannya suatu zat, energi kedalam air oleh kegiatan manusia sehingga kualitas air dapat menurun sampai tingkat tertentu yang mengakibatkan air tidak dapat berfungsi sesuai dengan peruntukannya. Waduk Jatibarang merupakan bendungan yang menampung beberapa aliran sungai yang kemudian menjadi sarana dan prasarana akuatik dan mendukung kegiatan pariwisata yang ada. Masuknya air dari beberapa sungai ke dalam waduk dapat membawa bahan pencemar sehingga dapat mengakibatkan perairan waduk menjadi tercemar. Salah satu indikator penting dalam penentuan kualitas air adalah dengan melihat tingkat saprobitas di perairan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka perlu dikaji lebih lanjut mengenai kondisi kualitas perairan Waduk Jatibarang ditinjau dari aspek saprobitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat saprobitas perairan Waduk Jatibarang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei – Juni 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan analisis deskriptif dan analisis korelasi, dengan mengukur parameter pendukung yaitu parameter fisika, kimia, indeks biologi, dan indeks saprobitas. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa nilai kelimpahan fitoplankton berkisar antara 236-865 ind/l, indeks keanekaragaman berkisar antara 1.02-1.77 indeks keseragaman berkisar antara 0.58-0.85 dan indeks dominasi berkisar antara 0.14-0.96. Indeks Kualitas Air (IKA) yang didapatkan berkisar antara 51.74-55.06 sehingga kualitas perairan dalam kategori sedang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa nilai indeks saprobitas berkisar antara 0.60-2.75 dan nilai indeks tropik saprobik berkisar antara 2.02-4.06 sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa perairan Waduk Jatibarang termasuk dalam golongan β-mesosaprobik/ oligosaprobik atau tercemar ringan. Water pollution is entry or inclusion by a substance, energy into water by the human activities so that quality of the water can decrease till the certain level which it can cause the water can be not function in accordance with the designation. Jatibarang Reservoir is a dam that holds several streams from the river which then becomes the aquatic facilities and infrastructure and can support the tourism activities. The entry of the water to reservoir, can carry pollutants it can cause the reservoir be polluted. One of the important indicators to determine the quality of the water is the saprobic level in the water. Based on the matter, it is necessary to study further about condition of the water quality of Jatibarang Reservoir in terms of saprobic aspect. The objective of the research has to know the level of waters saprobic in Jatibarang Reservoir. The research was conducted in May – June 2017. This research used case study method with descriptive analysis and correlation analysis, with measuring the supporting parameters like physics, chemistry, biology index, and saprobic index. The result of the observation showed that the phytoplankton abundance value ranged between 236-865 ind/l, index of diversity ranged between 1.02-1.77, uniformity index ranged between 0.49-0.85, and the index of dominance range between 0.14-0.96.  Water Quality Index (WQI) obtained ranged between 51.74-55.06 so that quality of the water in medium category . The result of the research, found that the Saprobic Index value ranged between 0.60-2.75, and the Tropic Saprobic Index value ranged between 2.02-4.06, so it can be concluded that the Jatibarang Reservoir belongs to the class of β-mesosaprobic/oligosaprobic or light polluted.
