The Spread of Lindi (Liquid Garbage) of Benowo Garbage Landfill on Fish pond Water Quality In Surabaya

Abstract

Benowo Garbage Landfill had an unexpected problem where Lindi (garbage liquid) pipe channel was leaking due to the activity of excavator to complete the project of garbage burning place. lindi (garbage liquid) pipe leaked on January 05, 2017 until March 15, 2017, but was not solved yet because of the rainy season and flood that made repairmen getting slow. The leak could not flow the garbage liquid completely which caused the leak partially sank into the soil and partly overflow to the area around leak point. The purpose of this study was to determine the spread of leak pollution and its impact on the fish pond around the leak point of Lindi (garbage liquid) pipe in Benowo Landfill. This research used descriptive quantitative research to describe the condition of leak of Lindi (garbage liquid) pipe impact Benowo garbage landfill to water contamination around fishpond helped by tests of laboratory and then analyzed. The sample in this research was fishpond water of 0 m-150 m distance from the leak point of Lindi (garbage liquid) pipe. This research variable was water quality of fishpond based on ph content which showed acid level in a solution and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) to see the size of the contamination level by organic material. The result was that the polluted water of fishpond from leak point of Lindi (garbage liquid) pipe after the pH and COD analyzed descriptively based on data obtained was a 25 m and 75m to the north, 25 m to the east and from leak of Lindi (garbage liquid) pipe Benowo garbage landfill and caused water contaminated, death of fish at pond, watercolor changed into black, and the smell was not good. In short, the farther water distance with the leak point of the Lindi pipe TPA Benowo the smaller Lindi pollution or Lindi pollution is reduced.
