ABSTRACTThis research was conducted to determine the status of Lake Toba water quality in the area of Toba Samosir (Tobasa) Regency and the feasibility of its use. This study revealed that BOD, COD, iron and free Cl2 of Lake Toba Tobasa regency exceed water quality criteria for Class I and Class II based on Governor Decree No. 1 Year 2009 on Raw water quality of Lake Toba in North Sumatera. High COD and BOD values imply that Lake Toba water was polluted by organic matter presumably originated from floating net cages (KJA), while free Cl2 is thought to originate from domestic waste activities in Parapat City and its surroundings. In general, it was concluded that the water of Lake Toba in the Tobasa Regency did not meet the criteria for clean water and water tourism.Keywords: Lake Toba, raw water, pollution, water qualityABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui kualitas air Danau Toba wilayah Kabupaten Toba Samosir (Tobasa) dan kelayakan peruntukannya. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa air Danau Toba wilayah Kabupaten Tobasa memiliki BOD, COD dan konsentrasi besi dan Cl2 bebas melebihi kriteria mutu air Kelas I dan Kelas II pada Peraturan Gubernur Sumatra Utara No 1 Tahun 2009. Tingginya nilai COD dan BOD mengisyaratkan bahwa perairan Danau Toba tercemar oleh bahan organik yang diduga berasal keramba jaring apung (KJA), sedangkan Cl2 bebas diduga berasal dari limbah domestik kegiatan Kota Parapat dan sekitarnya. Secara umum disimpulkan bahwa air Danau Toba di wilayah Kabupaten Tobasa tidak/belum memenuhi kriteria untuk air baku air minum  dan wisata air.Kata kunci: danau Toba, bahan baku air, pencemaran, baku mutu

ABSTRAK Di Indonesia, operasional penambangan batubara umumnya melibatkan tenaga kerja dengan jumlah yang besar. Kondisi ini memberikan tantangan tersendiri dalam pengelolaan dampak lingkungan yang berpotensi timbul dari aktivitas manusia. Salah satu potensi tersebut yakni air limbah domestik. Air limbah domestik merupakan air limbah yang berasal dari aktivitas hidup sehari-hari manusia yang berhubungan dengan pemakaian air. Di area operasional pertambangan, air limbah domestik dapat timbul dari area pemukiman karyawan dan perkantoran. Karena potensi dampaknya terhadap lingkungan, air limbah domestik harus diolah sebelum dialirkan ke badan air penerima. Sejak tahun 1990an, diawal operasi penambangan, Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) telah membangun dan mengoperasiokan Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah Domestik (IPALD) untuk mengolah air limbah domestik yang bersumber dari pemukiman karyawan dan perkantoran. Terdapat 12 IPALD dengan teknologi lumpur aktif yang beroperasi di area KPC. Lumpur aktif merupakan salah satu teknologi pengolahan air limbah domestik dengan memanfaatkan peran bakteri aerob untuk mendegradasi material organik yang terkandung didalam air limbah domestik. Makalah ini disajikan untuk mendeskripsikan performa teknologi lumpur aktif yang digunakan dalam IPALD KPC dan tantangan yang dihadapi dalam pengoperasiannya. Salah satu tantangan yang dihadapi yakni pemenuhan baku mutu yang tertuang dalam Keputusan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan No. P. 68 Tahun 2016 tentang Baku Mutu Air Limbah Domestik. Baku mutu terbaru mengatur konsentrasi efluen IPALD lebih ketat dari sebelumnya dan terdapat paramater baru, diantaranya amoniak yang memerlukan perhatian dalam pengoperasian IPALD. Kata kunci: air limbah domestik, lumpur aktif, ipald  ABSTRACT In Indonesia, coal mining operations generally involve a huge number of workers. This condition causes its own challenges in managing environmental impacts that potentially generated from human activities. One of them is domestic wastewater. Domestic waste water is waste water that comes from activities of daily living of humans related to water usage. In mining operations, domestic wastewater is generated from office and residential areas. Because of the potential impact on the environment, domestic wastewater must be treated before flowing to natural water bodies. Since the beginning of mining operations in 1990s, PT Kaltim Prima Coal has been building and operating Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant (IPALD) to treat domestic wastewater resulting from offices and residential areas. There are 12 IPALDs with activated sludge technology operating in the KPC area. Active sludge is one of the domestic wastewater treatment technologies by utilizing the role of aerobic bacteria to degrade organic material contained in domestic wastewater. This paper is presented to describe the performance of activated sludge technology used in the KPC’s IPALD and the challenges faced in its operation. One of the challenges faced is the fulfillment of water quality standards in Minister of Environment and Forestry Decree No. P. 68 of 2016 concerning Domestic Wastewater Quality Standards. The latest quality standards regulate the effluent concentration of IPALD more stringent than before and there are new parameters, including ammonia which requires attention in the operation of IPALD. Keywords: domestic waste water, activated sludge, ipald

The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize nanostructured composites based of TiO2, carbonaceus materials (GN or GO) and Ag and the test their capacity to remove the pollutants from domestic wastewater. The composites were characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements. The photocatalytic activity was measured from the experiment of salicylic acid (SA) degradation. The capacity to remove the pollutants from domestic wastewater was performed by considering the absorbance of residual solution at 200 nm. The non-calcined composites have high specific surface area (˜300 m2/g), but nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms showed a porous structure with closed pores. The porosity of the thermal treated composites is about 10 times less, but the pores are open. The salicylic acid was 94% degraded over all composites, showing their efficient photoactivity. A percent of 70% of pollutants were removed over the calcined composites with GN and ˜67% on those with GO. It was no statistically significant difference between the photocatalytical efficiency of GN- and GO-based composites. Even if the calcined composites have the specific surface area about 10 times lower, their lower gap energy, higher degree of crystallinity and photocatalytic activity make them efficient candidates for removal of pollutants from domestic waste water. The photodegradation mechanism occurred mostly by π–π interactions between GN/GO and pollutant molecules.

The Indonesian Ministry of Environment in 2014 released study results that 60-70% of rivers in Indonesia have been polluted by domestic wastewater, which is not treated properly. Improper and inadequate wastewater treatment not only pollutes water resources and damages ecosystems, but can also pose a significant public health risk. The development of spontaneous settlements in urban kampong makes the environmental quality within the settlements getting worse and many people consider that the area of urban kampong is not habitable. The efforts to treat wastewater before being discharged into water bodies are very important. The study of "vertical constructed wetland" model using water plants which are also ornamental plants can be considered as an alternative system for household wastewater treatment in kampong settlements.  The objective of the research is to develop an alternative model of wastewater treatment that can overcome the obstacles of implementing a wastewater treatment system in terms of cost and availability land. The result shows that the removal efficiency of BOD, phosphate and total coliform are 71.64%, 50,92% and 99.67% respectively. Since the research is still being conducted on a laboratory scale, the further study must be developed with real case studies in low income community settlements in Kampung Kota. Additionally this research can give suggestions to local government an alternative policy to implement domestic waste water treatment plan in a densely populated settlement along the riverbank in the city.

The Citarum River is one of the rivers that is a source of clean water and is consumed by residents in the watershed and in DKI Jakarta. Currently, the Citarum River is facing serious environmental problems because it is a reservoir for waste from various sources such as factory, hotel and hospital waste as well as domestic waste, silting, problems with embankments and final treatment sites that are harmful to health. The results of monitoring the water quality of the Citarum River show that the water of the Citarum River has not been able to meet the water quality standards that have been determined based on the SK. West Java Governor No. 39 of 2000. The decline in water quality is caused by an increase in the pollutant load originating from the population, industrial development, extensification and intensification of agricultural land, fisheries development, livestock pollution and mining and excavation exploration. The focus of this research is emphasized on the river pollutant waste management program from domestic waste originating from community activities in Tanjung Mekar Village. The purpose of this study was to analyze waste management systems and domestic wastewater that are easily applied by the community, especially along rivers, in supporting community-based environmental management.
