Pattunuang asue Nature Tourism Object is a primary destination at Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park. Visitors of Pattunuang asue used the Pattunuang river to conduct their activities, such as swimming, bathing, river tubing, and also used the river water for drinking and cooking. However, using river water for these activities needs to fulfill standard water quality for tourism activities and drinking water. Therefore, this study aims to determine the quality of the Pattunuang river water. Data of physical parameters and conditions of river water were conducted using the survey method. We also collected water samples using the purposive sampling method. Furthermore, these samples were analyzed at the laboratory to measure other physical data such as total suspended solids (TSS) and total dispended solids (TDS), chemical, and microbiology. Data were analyzed following water quality parameters, compared to several regulations regarding water quality standards for tourism and drinking water. The results showed that the Pattunuang river water fulfills most of the standard of physical quality for tourism and drinking water, except TDS. However, some chemical parameters exceeded the threshold for tourism and drinking water. Microbiology parameters meet the standard requirements for several regulations but did not meet the requirements for water that can be drunk directly. Furthermore, this study discussed how to overcome this problem.
