Pemantauan Kualitas Air Sungai Digoel, Distrik Jair, Kabupaten Boven Digoel, Papua
ABSTRACT: Digoel river have an
important role to the human activity and environment in Boven Digoel Regency.
Increasing of human and industrial
activity around the
watershed of Digoel
River were suspecious
to cause the
degradation water quality in Digoel River. This research was done to
monitor the impact of the industrial activity to the quality of water
in outlet of
waste water treatment
plant(WWTP) of PT.
Korindo to the
water quality of
Digoel River. Parameter analised
are the physical, chemical, organic chemical, microbiology and metal content in
water. Analysis of the water
quality accordance to PP
Nomor 82 Tahun 2001 about water
quality managementand water
pollution and Permen LH
Nomor 5 tahun
2014 about the
quality of waste
water.The monitoring was
conducted in three months
at five sampling
stasion (river upstream,
river down stream,
outlet WWTP plywood,
outlet WWT workshop, outlet
WWTP palm oil)
in Districk Jair.
The rsult showed, parameter
of BOD, COD,
phospate, phenol and total
coliform in Digoel River exceeded class I of water quality standards. Outlet of
plywood WWTP have two parameters
that exceed the
quality standard which
were TSS 15.67
mg/L and phenol
13.33 mg/L.The outlet
of WWTP workshop have four pameter exceeded the quality standard which
were TSS (383.67 mg/L), oil/fats (502.0 µg/L),
phenol (11.0 µg/L),
and zinc (21,000
mg/L). IPAL oil
WWTP outlet have
two parameter sexceeded
the quality standars which
were oil/fats (313.0
µg/L) and total
coliform (> 979
cells/100 mL). The
result indicating that the status of water quality of Digoel
River are categorized as “lightly polluted”. Therefore based on utilization, it
was categorized as class IV water quality that can be used for irrigating,
planting and other purposed that meet the
requairement of water
qualiy in this
class, while for
other uses need
necessary processing. In
order not to increase the
pollution in the
Digoel river the
WWTP of industry
around Digoel River
should improved their treatment, so that waste water
discharged to the Digoel River not exceed the stanards quality.
