“…River water supplies are essential for household human uses like drinking, cooking, and washing, even if they are mostly utilized for agricultural irrigation. Many studies found that river water pollution in the tropical region was significantly contributed by land development activities such as agricultural activities and population settlements [2] [3] [4] [5], waste and heavy metal disposal from industrial activities [2], landfill areas [6] [7], extraction and mining industry [8], and domestic rubbish disposal [4] [9] [10] [11].…”

Sungai Semantan is important for fish aquaculture industry in Malaysia. Therefore, the aimed of this article is to assess the index of freshwater quality (WQI) of the Sungai Semantan, Pahang during the rainy season (February to April 2018). The Sungai Semantan WQI was monitored at three stations by assessing six freshwater quality parameters, i.e., DO, BOD, COD, NH3-N, pH, and TSS. The Semantan River’s WQI was assessed using the Malaysian Department of Environment’s WQI classification. The results showed that three freshwater quality parameters, namely DO (6.32 mg/l), COD (46.8 mg/l), and TSS (104.4 mg/l), exceeded the standard at certain stations and classified as Class IV. However, on average, all parameters showed Classes I to III for all stations, and WQI indicated the Semantan River was slightly polluted (WQI 78.2), and classified as Class II. Changes in land use in the Temerloh district for agricultural and urbanisation have exacerbated the Semantan River’s WQI. Contradict to perception that the aquaculture is the main source of freshwater pollution for the Semantan River. Consequently, the Semantan River’s WQI must be monitored regularly, as the river is critical not only for domestic freshwater supply but also for freshwater fish aquaculture and ecotourism.

“…Although river resources are primarily used for agricultural irrigation, they are still important for domestic human needs such as water to drink, cooking, and washing. Many studies have shown that land development activities cause significant river pollution in these tropical regions through the development new agricultural areas, population settlements [2,[5][6][7], industrial waste discharge and heavy metals disposal [3,7,8] landfill areas [9,10], mining activities [1], and domestic waste disposal such as rubbish [5,11,12].…”

The Garang River is the city of Semarang’s primary source of water, particularly for drinking water and other domestic needs. This research attempts to examine the current water quality status of the Garang River Basin by using the Malaysian Water Quality Index (WQI). Six water quality parameters were selected and analysed; DO, BOD, pH COD, NH3-N and TSS. Water sampling was conducted at eight stations based on the Governor Regulation of Central Java No. 156 (2010) on Water Allocation and Water Quality Management of Garang River. Water quality was sampled twice, once during the rainy season (2 January 2020) and once during the drought season (1 September 2020). The findings of the study showed that the water quality status of the Garang River Basin during the rainy season recorded a WQI value of 81 and 92 during the drought season. Both values belong to Class II, which represents clean waters. Three water quality parameters were identified to have exceeded the set standards: the DO, BOD, and NH3-N. Changes in landuse, particularly the clearance of forest areas for agriculture, plantation activities, domestic waste disposal, and wastewater directly from industrial activity and local inhabitants, have all contributed to the Garang River Basin’s deterioration of water quality. However, in the context of water classes, it is shown that the water of the Garang River is suitable to be used as a domestic water supply for local residents but requires further treatment prior to consumption.
