Abstract

River water is a source of raw water that can be treated to meet the community needs of clean water and drinking water. The declining quality of river water caused by pollution will have an impact on the lack of clean water supply and drinking water. Water Quality Index monitoring is needed to ensure that river water conditions remain good. Cisadane River and Ciujung River are two rivers in Banten Province which are highlighted in monitoring the water quality index because of their location in industrial areas and densely populated settlements. The calculation of the Water Quality Index follows the guidelines of the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry which is a concept development from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and BPS. The parameters assessed in the water quality index are TSS, DO, COD, BOD, Phosphate, Total Coliform and E.Coli / Fecal Coli. Based on the calculation results, it is known that in 2017 the Cisadane River has an Water Quality Index value of 50 (very less) and dropped to 46.7 (alert) in 2018. Ciujung River Water Quality Index in 2017 has a value of 49.17 (alert), the value increased to 56.7 (very less) in 2018.
