Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui interaksi perlakuan penambahan molase dan penggunaan aerator pada proses fermentasi bioslurry kotoran sapi dan untuk mengetahui perlakuan terbaik pada proses fermentasi bioslurry kotoran sapi sesuai dengan persyaratan teknis minimal pupuk organik cair No.70./Permentan/SR.140/10/2011. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok faktorial dengan dua faktor dan tiga taraf perlakuan. Faktor pertama adalah penambahan 0, 2 dan 3 persen molase dan faktor kedua adalah penggunaan aerator 0, 1 dan 2. Masing-masing perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Parameter yang diamati adalah suhu, biochemical oxygen demand, pH, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, C-organik, N-total, rasio C/N dan warna bioslurry. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi perlakuan penambahan molase dan penggunaan aerator berpengaruh pada proses fermentasi bioslurry kotoran sapi. Interaksi perlakuan penambahan molase 2 - 3 persen dengan penggunaan aerator 1-2 dapat mempercepat proses fermentasi bioslurry kotoran sapi dari 15 hari menjadi 10 hari. Hal ini ditandai dengan nilai biochemical oxygen demand yang sudah menurun pada hari ke 10 fermentasi. Dari sembilan perlakuan pada proses fermentasi bioslurry kotoran sapi, penambahan molase 3 persen dengan penggunaan 2 aerator merupakan perlakuan yang terbaik yaitu, menghasilkan total dissolved solids 6270 ppm, electrical conductivity 3,36 mS, C-organik 6,75 persen, N-total 0,44 persen, rasio C/N 15,82 dan warna hitam. Hasil ini sudah sesuai dengan standar No.70/Permentan/SR.140/10/2011. Namun, untuk kandungan N-total bioslurry belum cukup memenuhi standar Permentan yaitu 3 - 6 persen.

In order to assess the potability and agricultural application of Mini-Whuo stream in Eliozu Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria; the physicochemical properties, heavy metal levels (Fe, Cr, Cd, Pb & Ni) and microbiological load of water were evaluated. Five stations were established and sampling made for a period of six months (May-October 2019). Various water samples were collected for the analysis of physicochemical properties, heavy metal and microbiological levels, using titrimetric, spectrophotometric and microbiological methods respectively. Results obtained from the analyses showed that, temperature ranged between (28.7±0.7-30.9±1.9ºC), pH (6.4±0.0-6.7±0.3), electrical conductivity (82±20-172.0±14 µS/cm), total dissolved solids (41±1-86.5±71.1mg/l), turbidity (8.1±1.6-18.1±2.8 NTU), chloride (5.60±1.63-7.76±0.96 mg/l). Levels of heavy metals analyzed for water were below detection limit of 0.01mg/l, except for Fe which ranged between (3±1-4.6±0.8 mg/l). Microbiological study of water showed that the water had (2.6±0.5-6.4±0.6 x103 cfu/MLN) count of total heterotrophic bacteria, (44.3±9- 323.8±44 MPN/100ml-1) count of total coliform bacteria count and (4.3±2.7-59.5±16.9 MPN/100ml-1) faecal coliform bacteria count. From the result of analyses it was observed that iron, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and the microbiological load of the water were high when compared with WHO standards, and this may be attributed to the disposal of wastes such as, human and animal wastes into the water body. Water quality index (WQI) method according to the weighted arithmetic WQI, where (WQI < 50 = excellent water quality), (50 > WQI < 100 = good water quality), (100 > WQI < 200 = poor water quality), (200 > WQI < 300 = very poor water quality), and (WQI > 300 = unfit for drinking). Based on the WQI calculated for the Mini-Whuo stream 1156, the stream is not suitable for domestic use.

Overall Index Of Pollution

The present work was carried out to apply overall index of pollution and water quality index to assess status of Rani Pond, Aurangabad, Bihar, India which has been under pressure due to the increasing anthropogenic activities. Physicochemical parameters like water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, hardness, total dissolved solids, biochemical oxygen demand chloride, fluoride and nitrate were analyzed using standard procedures. The values obtained were compared with the guidelines for drinking purpose suggested by BIS (2012). The result shows the higher concentration of electrical conductivity, hardness, total dissolved solids and fluoride beyond the permissible limit. Ten parameters were selected to derive the overall index of pollution and water quality index for the estimation of water potential. The range of 2.70-3.50 of overall index of pollution and 165.83- 224.58 of water quality index indicating that the water of Rani Pond is not fit for drinking including both human and animals. The implementation of overall index of pollution and water quality index is necessary for proper management of the Rani Pond and it will be a very helpful tool for the public and decision makers to evaluate the water quality of the Rani Pond for sustainable management.

Abstract The survey of the ecological condition of eight lakes within the city limits of Freiburg included hydrochemical measurements and analyses (oxygen profiles, Secchi depth, pH, biochemical oxygen demand) together with biological parameters (chlorophyll a, phytoplanktonbiomass, Escherichia coli counts), as well as parasitic examinations. Only some of the investigated parameters are presented here. Seven of the eight lakes were found to be eutrophic. The process of eutrophication appears to be still in progress. One lake can be considered to be hypertrophic. Schistosome dermatitis was observed. The water quality in general was considered to be acceptable; suggestions to maintain or improve the water quality are made.
