Abstract

Water Quality Analysis and Pollution Load Capacity in Botokan River, Sidoarjo

The diversion of land functions as industrial activity has a potential to reduce

quality of the waters as the recipient body of liquid waste disposal. The Botokan
River is a river that has been polluted due to liquid waste from the paper industry.
This study to analyze the condition of water quality and the pollution load capacity
in the Botokan River, Sidoarjo. Analysis of river water quality is compared with
Class II of Quality Standards in accordance with PP No.82 of 2008. Analysis of the
pollution load capacity is obtained from the difference between the concentration
of river water quality standards with measured pollutant load concentrations. The
parameters used are temperature, TSS, pH, BOD, COD, and DO. Sampling in this
study used the grab sampling method conducted at three stations, S1 was the point
before the input of industrial waste, S2 was the point of input industrial waste, S3
was the point after the input of industrial waste. The results of the analysis is
showed that temperature, TSS, and pH parameters still met water quality standards,
while BOD, COD, and DO exceeded water quality standards. Analysis of the
pollution load capacity is carried out in S3. TSS parameters still meet the capacity
with a concentration of 120.232 kg/day, while the BOD and COD parameters have
exceeded the capacity with each concentration of -156.420 kg/day and -394.889
kg/day. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the pollutant load that enters the
Botokan river.
