Abstract

The Gerong River is one of the rivers in the South Sumatra region of Indonesia. There are many industrial areas from oil refineries, dyeing to palm oil processing in the area. Currently, many of the river waters are polluted by waste, both household and industrial waste. One of the impacts is that the water looks cloudy and not clear and waste substances are found dissolved in the water body. Interpretation of contaminants is an important step that must be taken immediately as input for future environmental restoration efforts. Therefore, it is very important to quickly assess water quality using instruments that can quickly determine pollution levels. Water quality monitoring is necessary to assess the impact on ecosystems in water bodies. From the investigation results, it was found that the water quality parameters fulfilled class III water quality standards for agricultural, fisheries and livestock as regulated in Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001. The water pollution index needs to be used to produce a preliminary assessment of water quality condition.
