Determination of Quality Status of Seketak River in Indonesia using CCME - WQI and Pollution Load
Abstract
Rapid development in the era of industry 4.0 and society 5.0 has a huge impact on the environment, including aquatic ecosystems. Seketak river, one of the rivers flowing in Semarang City, has become one of the rivers with poor water quality due to various human activities such as domestic, industrial, and livestock. This research aims to determine the water quality status and pollution load of Seketak River using the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI) method and calculate the maximum capacity of pollution load based on physical and chemical parameters. Sampling was conducted at four stations in October 2024, including variables such as Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), nitrite, total phosphate, lead, and iron. The results showed that the water quality status of Seketak river was in the “poor” category at all stations with the lowest value recorded at Station 2 due to the dominance of domestic waste from settlements, student boarding houses, and shops. The pollution load of COD, BOD, iron, nitrite, and lead exceeded the maximum capacity, with the largest contribution from Station 3. This indicates a lack of waste management, including wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) at the household scale. This study underscores the importance of effective waste management to reduce the impact of pollution and improve the water quality of Seketak River.
