Phytoplankton plays an important role in primary productivity in marine environment. Various environmental changes in coastal area will impact the water quality and their phytoplankton compositions. The purpose of this study is to examine the abundance of phytoplankton from two different sites, i.e Tanah Merah (close to mining site) and Semujur Island (away from mining site) in Bangka Island. Phytoplankton and water sample were collected on June- August 2018. Water quality was measured using water quality checker, whereas the phytoplankton was identified under the microscope with a magnification of 100x. Non-parametric Kruskal test and T-test analysis was performed to determine the abundance, diversity, uniform, and dominance of phytoplankton between Sites, respectively. Statistical analyses showed the abundance of phytoplankton at Semujur Island was significantly higher than that at Tanah Merah (p = 0.003). In additions the diversity, uniform, and dominance were also significantly different between sites (all p <0.05). In Semujur Island, Diatoms (Thalassiothrix, Chaetoceros and Thalassionema) were more dominants than the Dinophyceae group. However, in Tanah Merah, the genera Ceratium belong to class Dinophyceae was more dominant than the class Bacillariophyceae. These results performed that the phytoplankton in Tanah Merah and Semujur Island was affected by environment, in this case the mining area. The water quality in Semujur Island (non-mining Area) might have good quality than in Tanah Merah (mining area). The average value of turbidity and Total Suspended Solid in Tanah Merah Waters causes low abundance of phytoplankton. It can be concluded that tin mining can disrupt the abundance and composition of phytoplankton as a primary producer of waters.

Increased human activity towards the water bodies will change the condition of water quality. Case study in Langsa, Aceh, It was found that an increase in Some physical parameter (TSS) that exceeds the value determined in PP 82 of 2001 (Indonesian government standard). The high value of TSS in Station 2 and Station 3 indicates that the sediment loading to the water body is high, especially in Station 3, where the TSS concentrations far exceed the standard. Activity of type C surface mining materials tends to affect the brightness, turbidity, depth and TSS. Water conditions with low pH were also found in this study. In location studied no EPT larvae were found Keyword: Langsa, Water Quality, Stream, Total Suspended Solid, Anthropogenic Activity

Land conversion occurred in the lake catchment area caused the decreasing of water quality in many lakes of Indonesia. According to Lake Ecosystem Management Guidelines from Ministry of Environment, tropic state of lake water is one of parameters for assessing the lake ecosystem status. Tropic state can be indicated by the quantity of nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorophyll, and water clarity. The objective of this research is to develop the water quality algorithm and map the water clarity of lake water using Landsat 8 data. The data were standardized for sun geometry correction and atmospheric correction using Dark Object Subtraction method. In the first step, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) distributions in the lake were calculated using a semi empirical algorithm (Doxaran et al., 2002), which can be applied to a wide range of TSS values. Secchi Disk Transparency (SDT) distributions were calculated using our water clarity algorithm that was obtained from the relationship between TSS and SDT measured directly in the lake waters. The result shows that the water clarity algorithm developed in this research has the determination coefficient that reaches to 0,834. Implementation of the algorithm for Landsat 8 data in 2013 and 2014 showed that the water clarity in Kerinci Lake waters was around 2 m or less, but the water clarity in Tondano Lake waters was around 2 – 3 m. It means that Kerinci Lake waters had lower water clarity than Tondano Lake waters which is consistent with the field measurement results.

Halda is an important river of Bangladesh, is now polluted in different ways through industrial, agricultural, domestic and sewage disposal. Increased anthropogenic activities have increased the potential pollution of the river and excessive pollutants may be toxic to humans and aquatic fauna. Presence of heavy metals in the river water causes perilous impact on the aquatic organisms. Hence, regular monitoring of pollution levels in the river is indispensable. In this study, we discuss about physico-chemical assessments of water quality parameters viz. pH, dissolve oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total solid (TS), total suspended solid (TSS), total dissolved substance (TDS), total alkalinity, turbidity, salinity, electrical conductivity (EC), hardness, chloride and heavy metals in the water of Halda river during rainy and winter seasons, at different points; sources of pollutants in water and their effects given starting from the early research until the current research.

&lt;p&gt;The Chindwin River, a major tributary of the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar, is approximately 850 km long with a watershed area of 115,300 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. The Chindwin River is essential for local livelihoods, drinking water, ecosystems, navigation, agriculture, and industries such as logging and mining. Over the past two decades, Myanmar&amp;#8217;s rapid economic development has resulted in drastic changes to socio-economic and ecological conditions in the basin. Water users in the basin reported that there is a rapid extension of gold and jade mining and they observed a noticeable decline in water quality along with increased sedimentation and turbidity. So far, however, Myanmar has not undertaken a comprehensive scientific study in the Chindwin River Basin to assess water quality and sources of water pollution and to effectively address issues of river basin degradation and concerns for public health and safety. This study aims to assess the status of water quality in the Chindwin River and the potential impact of mining activities on the water quality and loading through monitoring program and modeling approach. 17 locations in the upper, middle and lower parts of the Chindwin River Basin were selected for water quality monitoring. These sites are located near Homalin, Kalewa, Kani and Monywa townships where human activities and interventions could affect water quality. Water quality sampling and testing in the Chindwin River was conducted two times per year: in the dry season (May-June) and in the wet season (September-October) during 2015-2017. We monitored 21 parameters including heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe). The observed values of Mercury in Uru River in the upper Chindwin River Basin which located nearby gold mining sites shown higher than the WHO drinking standard. This area also has high values of turbidity and Total Suspended Solid. The SHETRAN hydrological model, PHREEQC geochemical model and LOADEST model were used to quantify the heavy metal loads in the Uru River. Results from scenario analysis indicate an increase in Arsenic and Mercury load under increment of concentration due to expansions in mining areas. In both baseline and future climate conditions, the Uru downstream area shows the highest load effluent in both Arsenic and Mercury. These heavy metal loads will intensify the declining water quality condition in Chindwin River and can impact negatively on human health who use water for drinking. Therefore, we recommend that water quality monitoring should continue to provide scientific-evidence for decision-makers to manage water quality and mining activities properly.&amp;#160; Water treatment systems for drinking water are required to remove turbidity, Total Suspended Solid, and Mercury from raw water sources. Raising awareness of relevant stakeholders (local people, farmers, private sectors, etc.) is necessary as many people living in the Chindwin River Basin are using water directly from the river and other waterways without proper water treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui kualitas air Sungai Musi tahun 2007 sampai dengan 2008 di bagian tengah dan hilir berdasarkan pada sumber polutan. Empat belas stasiun pengambilan contoh ditetapkan sebagai sumber polutan seperti industri maupun pemukiman penduduk, dan referensi yang jauh dari industri maupun pemukiman yang digunakan sebagai pembanding. Pada setiap stasiun, pengambilan contoh dilakukan 3 kali waktu pengambilan, yaitu bulan April, Juni, dan Januari yang dapat mewakili 3 musim yang berbeda pada tahun tersebut. Beberapa parameter diukur in situ sementara beberapa lain dianalisis di laboratorium dengan standar methods (AWWAWEF, 2005). Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa industri yang bergerak di bidang pengolahan kelapa sawit dan karet cenderung menurunkan kualitas perairan di Sungai Musi. Kandungan logam berat dalam sedimen di Sungai Musi relatif rendah dengan kandungan Cr+6 dan Pb yang tertinggi masing-masing 13,481 dan 1,747 μg per g. Curah hujan cenderung menurunkan beberapa parameter fisika dan kimia kualitas perairan. Potensi pencemaran cenderung ditemukan di bagian hilir Sungai Musi, karena sebaran industri dan intensitas pemanfaatan perairan cukup tinggi di bagian sungai tersebut. Study in order to know distribution of pollution source and its effect on water quality of the middle and down stream of Musi River was conducted in April and June 2007 and January 2008. Fourteen sampling sites were selected based on the pollution source and the minimal degradation site (reference sites). Parameters observed were pollution source distribution and water and sediment parameters such as physical and chemical parameters. Water sample was collected at 0.5 m from water surface by using Kemmerer water sampler while sediment samples were taken by using Ekman grab. Some of the parameters were analyzed in situ while the rest were analyzed in laboratory. Results indicated that oil palm and rubber industries were mostly the pollution source in Musi River. Potential pollution source was mostly found in the middle and down stream of Musi River since most of pollution source and high water utilization found in this area. Water quality parameters except total suspended solid and biochemical oxygen demand, were still in the range that can be tolerated by the aquatic organisms. Rain fall tends to decrease water quality of the river. Concentration of heavy metal such as Chrom (Cr+6) and plumbum in the sediment were in still in low concentration with the highest concentration reaching 13.481 and 1.747 μg per g respectively.

The study examined the effect of sub-lethal level of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonates (LAS) on some selected electrolyte and metabolic indices of juvenile Heterobranchus bidorsalis. The fish were exposed to varying concentrations of LAS (0.00 mg/L, 0.01 mg/L, 0.02 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L, respectively) in a semi-static tank for 14 days. The chemical test analysis of LAS showed that only total suspended solid (196.8 mg/L), total alkalinity (56.1 mg/L) and nitrate (7.9 mg/L) exceeded Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) and Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) permissible limits. Conductivity and dissolved oxygen (DO) of the water parameter differ significantly (p < 0.05) from the control and among dose concentration. Electrolyte values (K+ and Ca2+) were not significantly (p > 0.05) different at all level of LAS concentration. However, there were significant (p < 0.05) differences in Na+ concentration. The highest value for Na+ (16.00 + 1.16 Mmol/L) was obtained at 0.02 mg/L, while the least (5.35 + 0.45 Mmol/L) was recorded in the control at 0.00 mg/L. There was significant (p < 0.05) differences in values of urea in the experimental group, except between 0.01mg/L (1.53 + 0.05 mg/dm) and 0.02 mg/L (1.60 + 0.06 mg/dm). On the contrary, there were significant (p < 0.05) differences in all the values of creatinine recorded in this study. The values increased down the experimental group in a dose dependent pattern. The highest value of creatinine (54.45 + 4.96 mg/dm) was recorded at 0.03 mg/L dose concentration while the least (30.47 + 7.65 mg/dm) was obtained in the control (0.00 mg/L). The present study concluded that LAS has impact on the metabolites and electrolytes especially creatinine and the Na+. Therefore, LAS could be very toxic at high concentrations and as such, indiscriminate discharge of LAS effluent into aquatic environment should be averted.

Abstract Anthropogenic activities along watershed area are often causing river pollution. This will affect the sustainability of aquatic resources, such as fish. One of the fish species in Brantas River that can be employed as bioindicator of water pollution is Wader fish (Puntius, sp.). The aim of this research was to analyze the health of Wader fish based on tits hematological profile. This study utilized descriptive method and conducted in three sites of Brantas River that located in Malang city, Indonesia. We took water quality parameters data to obtain Pollution Index of the river and blood samples to evaluate the hematological profile of wader fish caught in research area. Further analysis to evaluate relationship between water quality factors and hematological profile of Wader fish was performed by using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) with the support of PAST software version 4.06. The results showed that pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia and total suspended solid (TSS) of the study area were within the normal range, while the biological oxygen demand (BOD) value was above the standard. In addition, Pollution Index of this research suggested that Brantas River condition was low polluted. Meanwhile, the analysis of hematological profile of wader fish in terms of erythrocytes and hemoglobin were below than the recommended value, leukocytes were normal, and micronuclei were above the standard.

Muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat Semarang merupakan wilayah yang berpotensi mengalami eutrofikasi akibat buangan limbah rumah tangga dan industri. Sebagian besar penelitian sebelumnya lebih berfokus pada fosfor dalam sedimen dasar dan fosfat terlarut, sedangkan kandungan fosfor anorganik dalam total suspended solid (TSS) di perairan muara dan laut menerima lebih sedikit perhatian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui sebaran fosfor anorganik partikulat (PIP) di perairan sekitar muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat Semarang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada lapisan permukaan (kedalaman 0,5 m). Analisis TSS dilakukan dengan metode gravimetri. Ekstraksi asam PIP dilakukan berdasarkan metodologi ekstraksi konvensional, menggunakan 1 M HCl, diikuti oleh prosedur untuk menurunkan keasaman dan dianalisis dengan metode spectrophotometric phosphomolybdenum blue pada panjang gelombang 880 nm. Konsentrasi PIP yang didapatkan berkisar antara 0,42 µmol/g – 1,28 µmol/g dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 0,54 µmol/g. Sebaran PIP dipengaruhi oleh arus pasang surut, total suspended solid (TSS) dan salinitas. Sebaran PIP dominan ke arah barat – barat laut karena pengaruh arus pada saat pasang menuju surut. Konsentrasi PIP menurun seiring berkurangnya konsentrasi TSS dan meningkatnya nilai salinitas. Banjir Kanal Barat estuary is an area that has the potential to experience eutrophication due to household and industrial waste disposal. Most previous research has focused more on phosphorus in basic sediments and dissolved phosphate, whereas the inorganic phosphorus content in total suspended solid (TSS) in estuarine and marine waters received less attention. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of particulate inorganic phosphorus (PIP) in the waters around the Banjir Kanal Barat estuary. Sampling was carried out on the surface layer (0.5 m depth). TSS analysis was performed using the gravimetric method. PIP acid extraction was carried out based on conventional extraction methodology, which required 1 M HCl, followed by a procedure to reduce acidity and analyzed by spectrophotometric phosphomolybdate blue method at a wavelength of 880 nm. PIP concentrations obtained ranged from 0,42 µmol/g – 1,28 µmol/g with an average value of 0.54 µmol/g. Distribution of PIP is influenced by tidal currents, total suspended solid (TSS) and salinity. Distribution of PIP is dominant to west – northwest direction due to the influence of currents at ebb current. PIP concentration decreases with decreasing TSS concentration and increasing salinity.
