Abstract The dense and industrialized populace in the mining areas of Jharia Coalfield (JCF) is plagued by a severe shortage of water supply. The unutilized pumped out coal minewater discharges may be utilized to cater to the increasing water demand of the region but it runs the risk of getting contaminated from domestic and industrial effluents. The current study aimed to assess the suitableness of augmenting underground minewater for potable purposes. Minewater samples collected from 15 locations (minewater treatment plants) across JCF for the hydrological year 2019-2020 were analysed to gain an insight on the physico-chemical characteristics of the minewater using an integrated approach of standard hydrochemical methods, Integrated Water Quality Index (IWQI), Heavy metal Pollution Index (HPI) and Multivariate Statistical Analysis. The integrated approach gives a holistic assessment of the minewater quality, overcoming the limitations of traditional water quality indices, to give a more accurate assessment. The analysis of minewater in the region identified Ca–Mg–HCO3 and Ca–Mg–Cl–SO4 as the two major water types. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) of the minewater revealed the influence of lithogenic and anthropogenic processes in modulating the water chemistry of the region. This study could facilitate effective water quality management practices while also laying the foundation for augmenting minewater for potable purposes to meet increasing demands.

Based on the water quality investigation data of December in 2010, the water environment quality of Lv-tang River in Zhanjiang national urban wetland park was assessed using single water quality parameter model and integrated water quality index model. The results show that the water quality of Lv-tang River is worse than the national quality standards for Grade V. The water is polluted seriously. The main pollutants are total nitrogen (TN), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and chemical oxygen demand CODCr with their average concentrations of 60.49 mg/L, 30.57 mg/L and 227.38mg/L, respectively. The averages of their single parameter pollution index are 30.25 , 19.79 and 8.74. The average of single parameter pollution index of the river is 8.23 which indicated that the river belongs to heavy pollution zone. The integrated water quality index was 22.5 showing that the river belongs to serious pollution zone.

AbstractPelabuhan Tanjung Perak Surabaya merupakan pelabuhan terbesar di kawasan Indonesia bagian timur. PT PELINDO III melakukan pengembangan Arus Pelayaran Barat Surabaya (APBS). Akibatnya aktivitas sekitar APBS meningkat yang berpotensi menimbulkan pencemaran di perairan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menentukan kualitas air berdasarkan baku mutu biota laut dan indek kualitas air di sekitar APBS. Indeks kualitas air yang digunakan adalah Indeks Pencemaran (IP) dan National Sanitation Federation Water Quality Index (NSF WQI). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perairan di sekitar APBS dan lokasi pembuangan material keruk mengalami penurunan kualitas air laut dengan beberapa parameter tidak memenuhi baku mutu yaitu TSS 30 mg/l (ST 1), kekeruhan 19 NTU (ST 1), nitrat (0,7 mg/l di ST1dan 0,5 mg/l di ST2) dan di semua titik sampling diperoleh kadar DO (3 mg/l), fosfat 0,02 – 0,6 mg/L dan kecerahan (0,55 - 1.70 m). Indeks kualitas air di sekitar APBS dan lokasi pembuangan material keruk dengan metode IP dihasilkan tercemar sedang (ST 1, S2 dan ST 4 ) dan tercemar ringan (ST 3, ST 5 dan ST 6). Nilai kualitas perairan berdasarkan NSF WQI diperoleh dua kategori yaitu baik ( ST 3, ST 4, ST 5) dan sedang (ST 1, ST 2 dan ST 6).Keywords: aktivitas sekitar APBS, kualitas air, indeks pencemaran, NSF WQI AbstrakTanjung Perak Surabaya is the biggest harbor in the Eastern part of Indonesia. PT Pelindo III implemented the development of the eastern fairway Surabaya (APBS). Consequently, the activities arround them increased. It had potential to cause water polllution. This study is aim to determine the water quality based on standart quality of marine biota and the index of water quality arround APBS. Index of water quality are pollution index (IP) and National Sanitation Federation Water Quality Index (NSF WQI). The result of the study showed that the water harbor arround APBS and the location of dreging material were decreasing in the term of the quaity of the saltwater . The quality of saltwater did not reach the standart quality, which was TSS 30 mg/l (ST 1), the turbidity of 19 NTU (ST 1), nitrate (0.7 mg / l in ST1dan 0.5 mg / l in ST2) and at all sampling points obtained DO concentration (3 mg / l), phosphate from 0.02 to 0.6 mg / L and brightness (from 0.55 to 1.70 m) .Index of water quality arround APBS and dregging material disposal site that was used IP method was medium polluted (ST 1, S2 and ST 4) and lightly polluted (ST 3, ST 5 and ST 6). Values of water quality by NSF WQI obtained two categories: good (ST 3, ST 4, ST 5) and medium (ST 1, ST 2 and ST 6).Kata kunci: the activities arround APBS, water qualiy, pollution index, NSF WQI

Abstract This research aims at using a combined water quality index (WQI) and pollution index (PI) to assess and characterize river water quality of Cau River which is one of the longest rivers in the north of Vietnam. Five different water quality and water pollution indices were used including the Water Quality Index (WQI), Comprehensive Pollution Index (CPI), Organic Pollution Index (OPI), Eutrophication Index (EI), and Trace Metal Pollution Index (TPI). The combined water pollution indices show more serious pollution towards the river downstream. In particular, CPI and OPI reveal a high risk of eutrophication. Cluster analysis was applied to classify water monitoring points into different quality groups in order to provide a better understanding of the water status in the river. This study indicates that a combined water quality analysis could be an option for decision making water use purposes while its single index shows the current situation of water quality.
