The rapid increase in population, urbanization, and industrialization reduces the quality of Philippine waters, especially in densely populated areas and regions of industrial and agricultural activities. In Davao City, there is a need to regularly monitor the quality of river waters to assure their normal conditions. This study assessed the water conditions of  Talomo River and Davao River. Specifically, it aimed to measure the changes in pH level, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, coliforms and transparency. A descriptive comparative method was used to evaluate the waters of the two rivers, specifically in terms of contaminants and other pollutants. In gathering data, the researchers implemented the standard chemical and physical protocols on pH level, dissolved oxygen, Coliforms, Temperature, Transparency and Visual, daily water discharge and sediment discharge measurements. Findings revealed that the waters from the two rivers have high alkalinity; with dissolved oxygen greater than 7.5 mg/L; high fecal coliform count in CFU at 16,000 colonies per 100 mL; high degree of turbidity; experience drastic change of temperature; and indicate an increase of water discharge after the rain. It also showed disparity in sediment discharge with Davao River reporting a greater value compared to Talomo River. These parameters indicate that the two rivers have deteriorated in terms of quality waters when compared to the previous assessments as reported by Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).<div> </div><strong>Keywords:</strong>Physical and chemical parameters, Davao river, Talomo river, descriptivecomparative, Davao City, Philippines.

Sensory quality of peach during ripening to assess the best state for consumption was analysed. Physical and chemical parameters commonly used for establishing the commercial quality of this fruit were also determined: Soluble solids, acidity, sugars, organic acids, chlorophyll, carotenoids, resistance to compression and to penetration and colour. Relationships among these parameters and sensory characteristics were also analysed. A panel of eight trained assessors evaluated intensities of 12 sensory attributes (1 for odour, 2 for colour, 4 for flavour and 5 for texture). The sensory attributes selected allowed the description of perceivable differences between peaches of different degrees of maturity, although the variation in intensity of the attributes followed different trends. Colour intensity increased and acidity, firmness and crispness decreased significantly with ripening. Intensity of flavour, sweetness and fruitiness increased significantly from the under-ripe to semi-ripe states, and then decreased on reaching ripeness. It can be concluded that the most suitable time for harvesting and consumption of this peach variety was the state described herein as semi-ripe, and that a high correlation existed between colour intensity and hardness and the instrumental measurements of colour and texture.

Abstract. Lilisti, Zamdial, Hartono D, Brata B, Simarmata M. 2021. The structure and composition of macrozoobenthos community in varying water qualities in Kalibaru Waters, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 106-112. Various human activities affect the quality of the aquatic ecosystem that can be assessed by measuring the physical, chemical, and biological parameters of the waters and sediments. This is the case of Kalibaru Waters, Bengkulu, Indonesia which shows changes in the estuary and marine ecosystems due to the cut-off of the main river around the area for the development of roads and bridges. The objective of this study was to analyze the quality of the waters and substrate, and the structure of the macrozoobenthos community as a bioindicator at the Kalibaru Waters. A survey was carried out in four stations, which was purposively selected based on human activities around the waters. Data collected included the physical and chemical parameters, and the diversity and density of macrozoobenthos species. The density of macrozoobenthos species was analyzed for summed dominance ratio (SDR), diversity (H'), homogeneity (E), and dominance (D) indices. The results showed that the physical and chemical parameters of Kalibaru Waters were acceptable for aquatic life, however, the oil contents at two stations exceeded the ecological threshold. Analysis of the macrozoobenthos community as a bioindicator for water quality found that the diversity and homogeneity indices were at a medium level indicating an unstable community, while the dominant index remained low indicating that none of the species was dominant in the Kalibaru Waters. This information is needed as a reference for the government of Bengkulu Province to make appropriate policies and management decisions to maintain the quality of the aquatic ecosystem in Kalibaru Waters.

The ecological impact of human settlement on the water quality of Lower Cross River, Nigeria was evaluated. The physical and chemical conditions of the river water were determined from January to August, 2011. Three stations comprising Itu in Akwa Ibom State with intense human activities (station 2), its upstream (without human settlement) at Cross River State (station 1) and the downstream (station 3) were sampled. The Parametric One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicated that of the 17 physical and chemical parameters determined, only water level and COD were found to be significantly different () among stations. The spatial variations in the level of significant correlation of the physical and chemical parameters among the stations and the higher level of interrelationship in downstream station 2 and 3 than station 1 could be attributed to inputs resulting from human settlement. Comparison between some parameters with Standard Organization of Nigeria, and World Health Organization maximum permitted levels for drinking water indicated that the water was not polluted. However, the BOD and COD concentrations of greater than 2 mg/L and 20 mg/L respectively were indicative of pollution.

Siak River is one of the biggest rivers and the deepest in Riau Province in Indonesia with its 20-30 depth and depth 370 kilometers. The Siak River used for bathing, washing, dumping industrial palm oil, plantation, domestic waste, and port so it has an impact on water quality changing. This study analyzed the water quality and distribution spatial physical and chemical parameters the river around in Pekanbaru city, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), this study used laboratory in situ and ex situ water quality measurement instruments. Water sampling each station done three times in two weeks during October to November 2019. The results obtained from this study shows the water quality of these 6 stations in the category of bad and the water quality from headwaters to downstream river influenced by organic parameter as a dominant pollutant. The correlation of water quality characteristic was 74.4% main factor 1 (F1) 47.4% and main factor 2 (F2) 26.7% with main characteristics fecal coliform, phosphate, and nitrate. Grouping these characteristics through a dendrogram showed three levels of relationship based on the characteristic parameter. The first group stands for station 1,2, and 4 have higher brightness and Dissolved oxygen (DO) parameters than other stations. The second group stands for stations 3 and 5 that have relatively high in parameter phosphate and nitrate. The third group is station 6 (river estuary) which results in shows high of fecal coliform proportional to pollution. The study can be concluded that three groups heavily contaminated. Each group has different parameters that show influence upland and waters activities.Keywords: Distribution of spatial, The quality of water, Siak River, Physical and Chemical Parameters, PCA ABSTRAKSungai Siak merupakan salah satu sungai terbesar di Provinsi Riau dan terdalam di Indonesia, dengan kedalaman sekitar 20-30 meter dan panjang 300 kilometer. Sungai siak masih dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat sebagai sarana Mandi Cuci Kakus (MCK), tempat buangan limbah industri kelapa sawit, perkebunan, rumah tangga dan pelabuhan, sehingga berdampak pada perubahan kualitas perairan. Penelitian dilakukan untuk menganalisa kualitas dan distribusi spasial karateristik fisik-kimia perairan Sungai Siak di sekitar Kota Pekanbaru, dengan menggunakan Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Kajian menggunakan instrument pengukuran kualitas air in situ dan ex situ di laboratorium. Pengambilan sampel air pada masing-masing stasiun dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali setiap dua minggu selama bulan Oktober hingga November 2019. Hasil yang diperoleh dari kajian ini adalah kualitas air di keenam stasiun masuk dalam katagori buruk dan mengalami penurunan kualitas dari hulu ke hilir yang disebabkan bahan organik. Korelasi karakteristik kualitas air sebesar 74,3%, faktor utama 1 (F1)  47,4% dan faktor utama 2 (F2) 26,7% dengan penciri utama fecal coliform, fosfat dan nitrat. Pengelompokan stasiun pada dendogram klarifikasi hierarki menunjukkan adanya tiga tingkat hubungan kekerabatan berdasarkan parameter pencirinya. Kelompok satu terdiri dari stasiun 1, 2 dan 4 memiliki hasil relatif tinggi pada parameter kecerahan dan oksigen terlarut (DO) dibandingkan dengan stasiun lainnya. Kelompok dua terdiri dari stasiun 3 dan 5 memiliki hasil relatif tinggi pada paramter nitrat dan fosfat dibandingkan dengan stasiun lainnya. Kelompok tiga adalah stasiun 6 (muara sungai sail) dengan parameter fecal coliform relatif tinggi yang berbanding lurus dengan tingkat pencemarannya. Berdasarkan hasil kajian dapat disimpulkan bahwa tiga kelompok sama-sama tercemar berat, namun masing-masing kelompok memiliki perbedaan parameter pencirinya yang memperlihatkan pengaruh berbagai aktifitas di darat maupun di perairan itu sendiri.Kata kunci: Distribusi spasial, Kualitas air, Sungai Siak, Parameter fisika dan kimia, PCA
