Assessment of water quality of the ex-sand mining sites in Pasir Sakti District East Lampung for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture

Sand mining activities in Pasir Sakti District, East Lampung Regency, have changed the landscape and the allotment of land around it. The former sand mining area now becomes large puddles that are not utilized. This study aimed to analyze the suitability of water quality in ex-sand mining areas for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture. Observations were carried out at three stations in January-October 2019. Water quality measurements were performed to check water depth, clarity, temperature, current, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, iron, sulfate, and phytoplankton density. Analysis of suitability for aquaculture was carried out using weighting and scoring methods. Based on the results of the suitability analysis, the scoring result of the sand mining land for O.niloticus culture was in the range of 64% -68%. This score is classified as marginally suitable. The parameters with low scores are clarity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, phosphate, and iron (Fe) concentration parameters. Meanwhile, salinity, nitrate, sulfate, and phytoplankton density indicate conditions that are suitable for aquaculture. Therefore, severe treatment is needed to improve water quality to make it ideal for O.niloticus culture.

Balochistan is a semi-arid region. The assessment of water quality is very important, as the majority of people depend on groundwater for drinking purposes. The present study involves the quality assessment and mapping of drinking water in the five selected major coal mining sites in the four districts of Balochistan. A total of 50 samples were collected from these five coal mining sites in two seasons: i.e., summer and winter. A physicochemical analysis was carried out for groundwater samples: i.e., pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), CO3, HCO3-, Cl-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ni, and Zn. Thematic maps were used to depict the spatial distribution of significant variables and were compared with WHO standards (2011) during both seasons. The majority of parameters crossed the safe permissible limit of WHO standards. The water quality index (WQI) was calculated for the whole monitoring data obtained from both seasons from the perspective of drinking water in each of the selected sites. Moreover, a principle component analysis (PCA) and correlation matrix was carried out for the data analysis in order to identify the source of pollution and correlation among the variables. The results suggested that the overall quality of water from the selected coal mining sites deteriorated due to the overexploitation of coal mines and mining activity. The current investigation provides a comprehensive picture of the current status of water quality in and around the selected coal mines of Balochistan.

Background. Phosphorites in the mining area of Hahotoé-Kpogamé contain high levels of fluoride that can cause illness among people living close to the mining and processing sites. Objectives. To assess the distribution of fluoride in the different areas around the phosphorite mining areas in Togo. Methods. Analyses were performed by molecular absorption spectrometer (HACH DR3800) according to the procedure manual at the geochemical laboratory of the University of Lomé. The sodium 2 - (parasulfophenylazo) - 1,8 - dihydroxy - 3,6 - naphthalenedisulfonate (SPADNS) method was used to determine fluoride contents and the PhosVer® 3 with acid persulfate digestion method was used to measure phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). GraphPad Prism version 3.0 software was used for the data processing. Results. The surface water of the mining sites had a fluoride content ranging from 0.38 to 3.52 mg/l (average = 1.33 mg/l; n = 10, n is the number of samples). Groundwater in this area had a fluoride content between 0.15 mg/l and 1.39 mg/l (average = 0.58 mg/l, n = 15). In the groundwater in the villages around the phosphorite processing plant, the fluoride content ranged between 0.15 and 0.63 mg/l (average = 0.41 mg/l; n = 22). The fluoride content in the water of the phosphorite mining area was higher than in Gbodjomé (reference area). Meanwhile, assessment of the effluents discharged into the ocean had a fluoride content ranging from 12 to 20 mg/l. In dusts, the P2O5 and fluoride contents were 36.02% and 1.85%, respectively. Vegetables from the local market garden produce showed levels of fluoride up to 2.06%. The average contents of P2O5 and fluoride in one of the phosphorite profiles were 32.38% and 3.00%, respectively. A significant correlation was observed between P2O5 and fluoride. Conclusions. The correlation between P2O5 and fluoride in phosphorites shows that phosphorite mining is the main source of fluoride pollution in this area.

The main obstacle to the cultivation of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the KJA Urban Farming Program in Surabaya is unstable water quality. This is because the reservoirs and bozem used are waters whose water quality depends on the water source so that if the environment experiences a decrease in water quality, the activity of disease agents such as parasites will increase and the health condition of fish will decrease. This condition allows fish to be more susceptible to ectoparasite infestations. This study aims to determine the correlation of water quality with the prevalence of ectoparasites in tilapia in the KJA Urban Farming Program in Surabaya. The method used is a survey method. The results of measurements of water quality parameters indicate that the temperature ranges between 29-30C, pH 7-8.5, brightness 18-30 cm, dissolved oxygen 4.8-5.3 mg / l, nitrite <0.043-2.213 mg / l, nitrate <0.008-7.781 mg / l and ammonia 0.063-0.35 mg / l. The results of the average prevalence of Trichodina ectoparasites were 73.85% and Dactylogyrus ectoparasites were 2.85%. There is a positive correlation between temperature, pH, nitrate, nitrite with the prevalence of Trichodina, and temperature, pH, and nitrate with the prevalence of Dactylogyrus. There is a negative correlation between brightness, dissolved oxygen and ammonia with the prevalence of Trichodina, and brightness, nitrite, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia with the prevalence of Dactylogyrus.

The Taiyuan formation limestone water in the Huaibei coalfield is not only the water source for coal mining, but also the water source for industry and agriculture in mining areas. Its hydrogeochemical characteristics and water quality are generally concerning. In this paper, conventional ion tests were carried out on the Taiyuan formation limestone water of 16 coal mines in the Sunan and Linhuan mining areas of the Huaibei coalfield. Piper trigram, Gibbs diagram and an ion scale coefficient map were used to analyze the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the Taiyuan formation limestone water. The water quality was evaluated in a fuzzy comprehensive manner. The results show that the main cation and anion contents in the Taiyuan formation limestone water were Na+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > K+, SO42− > HCO3− > Cl−. There were differences in the hydrogeochemical types of the Taiyuan formation limestone water in the two mining areas; HCO3-Na type water was dominant in the Sunan mining area and SO4·Cl-Na type water was dominant in the Linhuan mining area. The chemical composition of the Taiyuan formation limestone water is mainly affected by the weathering of the rock and is related to the dissolution of the evaporated salt and the weathering of the silicate. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation results show that the V-type water accounts for a large proportion of the Taiyuan formation limestone water in the study area and the water quality is poor. This study provides a basis for the development and utilization of the Taiyuan formation limestone water and water environmental protection in the future.

The highly use of polyethylene plastics in Indonesia has negative impact toward freshwater aquaculture systems. Omnivorous fish is one of the freshwater biota that exposed by microplastics. This study aims to determine the effect of microplastics to water quality and the prevalence of microplastic exposure in tilapia. The experimental design is conducted using a microplastic exposure (polyethylene scrub) with concentration of 0.01 g/L (P1), 0.1 g/L (P2), and 1 g/L (P3). Each treatment is repeated 3 times. The organ groups observed are the gastrointestinal, liver, gills, and gonads. The stages of the research including fish raising, microplastic extraction, water quality measuring parameter, and counting the amount of microplastics. The result obtained for water quality parameter is temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen still within safe fish farming limit. Microplastics at high concentration in water can cause a decrease in the total value of ammonia and do not affect the value of water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Microplastics are found in the digestive organs, liver, gills, and gonads. The digestive tract of tilapia is the organ with the most microplastics after 14 days of exposure. It is concluded that microplastic is harmful for the life of tilapia because it can absorb to the liver and gonads.
