In this study, a relation-based dam suitability analysis (RDSA) technique is developed to identify the most suitable sites for dams. The methodology focused on a group of the most important parameters/indicators (stream order, terrain roughness index, slope, multiresolution valley bottom flatness index, closed depression, valley depth, and downslope gradient difference) and their relation to the dam wall and reservoir suitability. Quantitative assessment results in an elevation-area-capacity (EAC) curve substantiating the capacity determination of selected sites. The methodology also incorporates the estimation of soil erosion (SE) using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model and sediment yield at the selected dam sites. The RDSA technique identifies two suitable dam sites (A and B) with a maximum collective capacity of approximately 1202 million m3. The RDSA technique was validated with the existing dam, Gomal-Zam, in the north of Sanghar catchment, where RDSA classified the Gomal-Zam Dam in a very high suitability class. The SE estimates show an average of 75 t-ha−1y−1 of soil loss occurs in the study area. The result shows approximately 298,073 and 318,000 tons of annual average sediment yield (SY) will feed the dam A and B respectively. The SE-based sediment yield substantiates the approximate life of Dam-A and Dam-B to be 87 and 90 years, respectively. The approach is dynamic and can be applied for any other location globally for dam site selection and SE estimation.

Groundwater samples collected at different locations in and around Namakkal were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. Ten locations of groundwater samples were collected and studied for every two month for the period June-2007 to December-2007. The present investigation is focused on the determination of physicochemical parameters such as temperature, taste, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, hardness, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, chlorides, sulphate, nitrate, fluorides, dissolved oxygen, sodium, potassium andE.colibacterium. Groundwater suitability for domestic and irrigation purposes was examined by using WHO and BIS standards, which indicate the groundwater in a few areas, were not much suitable for domestic and agriculture purposes. Thus the objective of this study is to identify the quality of groundwater especially in the town and near by town where groundwater is used for domestic and agriculture purposes is discussed.

Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat dan Banjir Kanal Timur merupakan sungai besar yang berperan dalam mempengaruhi nilai kualitas perairan Semarang. Sungai ini membawa material dan limbah yang berasal dari darat kemudian mengalir ke laut melalui muara sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai konsentrasi zat padat tersuspensi (MPT) dan fosfat serta pola distribusinya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari 2019 dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Metode penentuan lokasi menggunakan purposive sampling pada 22 stasiun yang dapat merepresentasikan wilayah muara dan laut. Penentuan MPT secara gravimetri  dan fosfat menggunakan metode asam askorbat. Hasil konsentrasi MPT berkisar antara 50-290 mg/L dan fosfat 0,95-0,16 mg/L. Pola distribusi secara horisontal MPT menunjukkan lebih tinggi di daerah dekat pantai dan pola sebaran vertikal menunjukkan lebih tinggi di permukaan (0,2 m) dibanding di bagian bawah (0,8 m). Pola sebaliknya ditemukan pada sebaran fosfat dengan nilai lebih tinggi di dasar dan pola sebaran spasialnya menunjukkan konsentrasi tinggi ditemukan di wilayah timur yaitu di Muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur. Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur memberikan kontribusi yang besar terhadap unsur hara fosfat terlarut.  The Banjir Kanal Barat  and  Banjir Kanal Timur River  are major rivers that play a role in influencing the quality value of Semarang waters. This river carries material and waste originating from the land and then flows out to the sea through the river mouth. This study aims to determine the concentration value of suspended solids (MPT) and phosphate and the distribution pattern. This research was conducted in February 2019, using descriptive quantitative methods. The method of determining the location uses purposive sampling at 22 stations that can represent the estuary and sea areas. Gravimetric and phosphate determination of MPT using the ascorbic acid method. The results of MPT concentrations ranged from 50-290 mg / L and phosphate from 0.95 to 0.16 mg/L. Spatial distribution of MPT shows a high concentration in the coastal area and vertically, the distribution is higher at the surface (0.2 m) than at the bottom (0.8 m). This pattern is different from the phosphate which is found to be higher at the bottom with its spatial distribution showing a high concentration in the eastern region, namely in the estuary of Banjir Kanal Timur. This estuary of Banjir Kanal Timur has a large contribution to phosphate ions.
