Potential health disaster risks due to Ciliwung River Water quality in DKI Jakarta

Abstract

DKI Jakarta is one of the provinces with the highest flood risk in Indonesia. 13 rivers divide Jakarta from upstream to downstream, one of which is the Ciliwung River. However, at this time, the Ciliwung River was asked to be one of the dirtiest rivers in the world. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of physical parameters (TSS), chemical parameters (BOD, COD, Total Phosphate), and microbiological parameters (Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform) in the Ciliwung River, along with the potential health disaster risks from various parameters studied based on literature review. The method used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data sources in the form of monitoring data on the water quality of the Ciliwung River, which was carried out for four periods in April, June, July and August at 21 points spread along with upstream to downstream. The results showed that the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters had passed the specified standard thresholds and had the potential for a public health disaster due to exposure to organic compounds and microorganisms in the Ciliwung River. Further efforts related to disaster need to be carried out in a Penta helix manner so that disaster risk reduction efforts can be carried out as a whole.

Eksplorasi Dan Analisis Regresi Logistik Terhadap Kondisi Sungai Tercemar Limbah Di Desa/Kelurahan Provinsi Dki Jakarta Indonesia

“…Pada penelitian sebelumnya, beberapa sungai di DKI Jakarta memiliki status tercemar dengan level menengah, seperti pada sungai Pesanggrahan (Djoharam et al, 2018) dan sungai Sunter (Martinus et al, 2018). Kondisi ini sangat mengkhawatirkan karena diduga memiliki dampak negatif bagi kesehatan (Resosudarmo, 2003;Kospa & Rahmadi, 2019;Apriyadi et al, 2021). Setidaknya terdapat 191,652 kasus diare di DKI Jakarta, dengan 32.7% terjadi pada balita dan sisanya 67.3% terjadi pada usia di atas lima tahun (Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi DKI Jakarta, 2020).…”

Spatial and temporal distribution of dissolved oxygen in the Ciliwung River, DKI Jakarta Province

“…It passes through the city's core and through several towns and densely populated residential areas, so its water quality needs special attention. This river is also considered the most severely polluted by domestic waste compared to other rivers in Jakarta [1].…”
