Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas air Sungai Winongo dan pengaruh aktifitas masyarakat terhadap kualitas air sungainya. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah survey lapangan, wawancara, dan analisis laboratorium. Kualitas air dianalisis berdasarkan beberapa parameter seperti fisika, kimia, dan microbiologi. Pengamatan kualitas air sungai dilakukan di dua lokasi pada kawasan perkotaan. Pencemaran sungai ditandai dengan adanya nilai kualitas air yang melebihi baku mutu airseperti BOD, COD, nitrat, detergen, fenol, dan coliform total. Dari hasil analisis kualitas air sungai tersebut, ditemukan bahwa tingkat pencemaran pada lokasi 2 (Kel. Tegalrejo, Kec. Tegalrejo) secara umum lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada lokasi 1 (Kel. Pringgokusuman, Kec. Gedong Tengen). Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh adanya aktifitas masyarakat sekitar yang tidak memperhatikan kebersihan lingkungan sungai seperti menumpuk sampah di tepi sungai dan membuang air limbah (industri tahu, rumah tangga, dan peternakan) langsungke sungai.
This study was aimed to evaluate the performance of SSF in removing bacteria (Total Coliforms and E. Coli) in regard to grain size distribution and grain shape intermittently. Two methodological approaches used in this reasearch were literature review and laboratory work. Bacteria removal was analyzed considering two different filter media (Rhine sand-spherical shape and Lava sand-angular shape) with three different grain size distributions. The best performance was attained by filter column F4 which consisted of Lava sand and had the configuration C2 (d10 = 0.07 mm; Cu = 4.2). This filter column achieved 4.7log-units removal of Total Coliforms and 5.0log-units removal of E. coli. The results show that a smaller grain size and an angular shape of sand grain lead to an increase in bacteria removal.
The karst landform holds considerable water resource potential and is known for its underground rivers. On the other hand, the high porosity carbonate rocks on this landform cause the decrease of the natural protection function against groundwater pollution. Hence, the analysis of groundwater vulnerability in the karst area is prominent before making the spatial planning regulation. This recent study aimed to analyze the groundwater vulnerability in the karst area located in a part of Umbulrejo Village, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and proposed action in groundwater protection. The method used in this research was based on the COP method. The data acquisition was conducted by survey method both for primary and secondary data. The COP (Concentration of flow, overlaying layers, and precipitation) analysis was supported by ArcGis software. The analysis of groundwater vulnerability showed that there were two vulnerability classes, i.e., very high (48.6%) and high (51.4%). These results were influenced mainly by the close distance of the recharge area to swallow holes and the lithology type (karst), which contributed to a very high value in reducing protection against groundwater. A proposed action to support groundwater protection is regulating the land utilization in the area of the settlements.
Masalah pengolahan air terproduksi di wilayah penambangan Wonocolo mulai menjadi perhatian sejak ditetapkannya Wonocolo sebagai Petroleum Geoheritage. Air terproduksi yang ikut terangkut ke permukaan pada saat pengambilan minyak bumi di sumur minyak Wonocolo memiliki tingkat kekeruhan 105 NTU, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 1714 mg/L, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 90 mg/L, dan nilai COD 77,9 mg/L. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh media filtrasi pasir aktif dan karbon aktif sebelum air dimasukkan ke membran bioreaktor. Hasil pengolahan air terproduksi tanpa menggunakan media filtrasi menghasilkan air dengan tingkat kekeruhan 0,33 NTU, COD 35, TSS 8 mg/L dan efisiensi penurunan TDS 90,45 %, sedangkan dengan pasir aktif menghasilkan tingkat kekeruhan 0 NTU, COD 7,1 mg/L; TSS 6 mg/L, dengan efektivitas penurunan TDS 91,85%. Sementara pada media karbon aktif, tingkat kekeruhan 0,27 NTU; COD 10,5 mg/L; TSS 4 mg/L dengan efektivitas penurunan TDS 90,97%. Pengolahan menggunakan media filtrasi menghasilkan air yang memiliki kualitas lebih baik dari pada tanpa filtrasi. Media filtrasi pasir aktif lebih baik daripada karbon aktif. Media filtrasi juga dapat menurunkan beban membran dalam mengolah air.
