This study aims to explore the diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Nogosari River and study the physicochemical parameters. The research sample was taken using a plot with a purposive random sampling method. Each station is installed 3 plots and each Plot measuring 1m x 1m. Data analysis was carried out by describing and calculating the macroinvertebrate diversity index found. This study found 12 families of macroinvertebrates in the Nogosari River. The macroinvertebrate diversity index was calculated using the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H') calculation (Krebs, 1978). The average diversity of macroinvertebrate species in the Nogosari river is 2.51. This value is in the range of 1.0 < H' < 3.322 or the category of diversity index at the Medium level. This means that the diversity of macroinvertebrates in the Nogosari River has sufficient productivity, and the condition of the ecosystem is quite good. The water quality in the Nogosari River is categorized as moderately polluted. It was calculated based on the Biotic Index Value with an average BMWP-ASPT score of 5.83.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
