Rapid Deterioration

Finland's water resources are abundant and can be considered adequate to meet needs except in some coastal areas. This abundance was previously considered so obvious that water resources were used carelessly, without a thought to the harmful changes in water quality caused by the reckless use of lakes e.g. for discharging waste waters. In the late 1950's people finally perceived the rapid deterioration of Finland's beautiful lakes. An administration for water pollution control was established and a new Water Act was passed at the beginning of the 1960's. Since then the fight for clean waters has continued with varying success. What is the state of Finnish surface waters now, and what are the prospects for the future?

Integrated Pollution Control

This chapter critically examines English, as well as selected European Union, laws that regulate the interlinked environmental challenges of protecting the quality and quantity of water courses. It deals with legal rules seeking to prevent and limit the pollution of rivers and other inland surface waters, such as lakes, as well as coastal areas and groundwater. One of the key challenges for water pollution law is to evolve into a more holistic, coherent, and integrated pollution control regime. In discussing this challenge, the chapter refers to and critiques recent interesting attempts to develop environmental policy discourses of bioregionalism and ecofederalism, that is, attempts to map regulatory space onto ‘natural’ spaces.

 Sirau River is one of the rivers in the Barito Timur Regency which flows through the Dusun Timur District. Sirau River water is used as raw material for regional water companies (PDAM) and is used by communities around the river to meet the needs of other daily life such as MCK and other uses and is also used as a landfill, domestic wastewater and waste water mining and plantation activities both directly and indirectly. This study aims to analyze the status of pollution of the Sirau river through the approach of the pollution index value, assess the quality of the Sirau River water and identify the source of pollutants entering the Sirau River. The results showed that in general the water quality of the Sirau River for pH, COD, BOD, Fe, and Mn parameters exceeds the water quality standard namely Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 class II concerning Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, the main source of pollutants comes from residential domestic waste, coal mining activities and dry leaves that fall into river streams. Sirau river water quality from upstream to downstream based on river water quality analysis using the pollution index method shows that water quality has decreased where the river conditions are generally mildly polluted. The quality of lightly polluted Sirau river water cannot be utilized in accordance with the designation of class II water based on Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 concerning Management of Water Quality and Water Pollution Control.

Sungai Ogan merupakan sumber air bagi intake PDAM  Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu. Kenyataan tersebut, dipandang perlu untuk menentukan evaluasi kualitas air Sungai Ogan yang bersifat kompleks dengan melibatkan banyak parameter yang berpengaruh terhadap badan air serta perlu merumuskan strategi pengendalian pencemaan air yang perlu dilakukan. Penggunaan indeks kualitas air dapat mempermudah penentuan kualitas badan air serta mempermudah juga dalam pemberian informasi kepada pihak yang membutuhkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan status mutu air dan strategi pengendalian pencemaran air sungai Ogan Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode purposive sampling dengan menggunaan perhitungan indeks pencemaran air di 5 titik lokasi sampling. Penentuan status mutu air menggunakan metode indeks pencemaran menurut Kepmen LH 115/2003. Parameter yang diamati dan diukur ada 10 paramater dengan menggunakan metode Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) pengukuran kualitas air dan limbah, Menurut Peraturan Gubernur Sumatera Selatan No 16/2005 meliputi sifat fisika, kimia dan biologi dari badan air sungai yaitu suhu, kekeruhan, TSS, pH, DO, BOD, Nitrat, Phospat, MBAS dan Fecal Coliform. Hasil yang didapatkan Status mutu air dengan menggunakan indeks pencemaran stasiun 1-5. termasuk dalam kategori tercemar ringan dengan kisaran nilai 1,3 – 2,3. Strategi pengendalian pencemaran sungai dapat dilakukan dengan pengurangan beban pencemaran yaitu dengan melibatkan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan lingkungan sungai dan perlu melakukan efektifitas pengelolaan dan manajemen IPAL yang lebih baik yang lebih melibatkan peran serta masyarakat dalam teknis pengelolaannya, serta perlunya pemantauan rutin kualitas air sungai dan memetakan sumber-sumber pencemar potensial pada setiap lokasi sehingga permasalahan akan cepat teratasi.The Ogan River is a source of water for the intake of the Ogan Komering Ulu Regency PDAM. This fact is deemed necessary to determine the evaluation of the water quality of the Ogan River which is complex by involving many parameters that affect the water body and needs to formulate a water pollution control strategy that needs to be done. The use of a water quality index can facilitate the determination of the quality of water bodies and also facilitate the provision of information to those in need. The purpose of this study was to determine the status of water quality and the control strategy of Ogan Komering Ulu District water pollution. The method used in this study was purposive sampling method by using the calculation of the water pollution index in 5 sampling locations. Determination of water quality status using the pollution index method according to Kepmen LH 115/2003. The parameters observed and measured were 10 parameters using the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) method of measuring water and waste quality, According to the Governor of South Sumatra Regulation No. 16/2005 covering physical, chemical and biological properties of river water bodies namely temperature, turbidity, TSS, pH, DO, BOD, Nitrate, Phosphate, MBAS and Fecal Coliform. Results obtained status of water quality by using station pollution index 1-5. included in the category of light polluted with a range of values 1.3 - 2.3. River pollution control strategies can be carried out by reducing pollution load, namely by involving the community in managing the river environment and need to make better management and management of WWTPs that are more involved community in its technical management, as well as the need for regular monitoring of river water quality and mapping potential pollutant sources at each location so that problems will be quickly resolved

Nitrate is ordinarily found within the ecosystem, as part of the nitrogen cycle. The anthropogenic inputs have highly increased nitrate loads into ground and surface waters. All these factors have had a drastic impact on aquatic environment, human health and flora and fauna. Hence, the identification of nitrate sources is valuable in conserving water quality and achieving sustainability of the water resources. The present paper aims to present a clearly image of water pollution in South and South Est part of Romania. The dataset for ammonium (NH4+), total nitrogen (Ntot) and nitrite (NO2-) was collected from 2013 -2017.

The article focuses on examining the influence of fluctuations in annual precipitation amount on the quality of surface waters. Water quality was estimated with data on BOD, COD and phosphate–ion concentration within five selected regions of Ukraine. Analysis of the precipitation data (1991 – 2010) showed different regional trends. Using the statistics, determination of the interconnection between precipitation amount and water resources quality were done. The obtained regularities and associated uncertainties can be used for prediction of changes in water resource quality and as a guide for future adaptation to possible climate change.

This article presents the study results of the change dynamics in the chemical composition of water in Lake Iskanderkul and the rivers flowing into it, as well as the comparison of water quality in the water bodies of the Iskanderkul Basin and several mid-stream tributaries of the Zarafshan River. It was established that the chemical composition of water in Lake Iskanderkul and its tributaries meets the requirements of the corresponding state standard (GOST 2874-82 “Drinking Water”). However, in terms of dissolved oxygen, copper, zinc, lead and iron the water in Lake Iskanderkul does not satisfy fish farming requirements. The main water pollution sources in the area include such natural phenomena as floods, avalanches, mudslides, and rock dissolution.
