This study was conducted from May 2013 - May 2014. Locations research wasconducted in the District of Bangko Bagansiapiapi. This study aims to determine the qualityof rainwater as a source of public drinking water in the District of Bangko Bagansiapiapi,knowing the health effects of consuming rainwater as drinking water and contribute ideas forthe Government of Rokan Hilir to be able to hold clean water for the people of the District ofBangko Local Government of Rokan Hilir . The results were obtained as follows: (1). Thequality of rainwater in the study site based on the results of laboratory parameters in terms ofinorganic chemistry, physical parameters, chemical parameters still below the drinking waterquality standards that are required by Minister Regulation No. 492 / Menkes / Per / IV / 2010showed that the rain water at the study site that rain water can be consumed by the public andis not harmful to health.

The physical, chemical, and biological properties of peat soil in several levels of fire in Kampar regency. The research was conducted from March to April 2017 in Pelalawan Regency, Riau Province, and Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau. The research was conducted by a survey in the field, determining the sample point using Purposive Sampling Method. The samples were taken from 3 locations ie. the land with heavy, medium and light fire level and control (non-burning/natural forest) 12 units of the experiment. Soil samples were analyzed by the physical and chemical characteristics soil. The results of the physical and chemical characteristics of soil undergoing changes and categorized as broken.

This study aims to analyze the hydrological characteristics as a result of changes in land use with the help of the SWAT hydrological model and can provide recommendations on the best land use in the Koto Panjang Electric Power catchment area. Based on the results of the analysis using the SWAT hydrological model, it was seen that there were effects of land use changes in 2011 and 2014 on hydrological characteristics; yield of water (WATER YLD) of 2,413.38 mm, and 1.008, 65 mm, runoff coefficient (C) of 0.19 and 0.063 respectively, and river regime coefficient (KRS) of 11.449 and 12.212, respectively. The best land use to be developed in agricultural cultivation areas as a recommendation to maintain water stability in the Koto Panjang hydropower catchment area is a simple and complex agroforestry pattern in scenario III, which is run together with hydrological characteristics in the form; water yield (WATER YLD) of 1,038.41, surface runoff coefficient (C) of 0.023, and river regime coefficient (KRS) of 11.13. The hydrological characteristics in scenario III are far better than 2014 land use characteristics (existing).

Research "of Activated Carbon Composite Materials from Rubber wood Sawdust and addition of Fe3O4 +PVDFNano-Magnetic for Liquid Waste Absorbent Materials based Heavy Metal". The study aims to measure the ability of activated carbon from rubber wood sawdust as an adsorbent of heavy metals such as Cu, Cd and Pb. This research was performed with colection and analizing data in the laboratory . The mixing process for carbon powder, nano-magnetic Fe3O4 and PVDF were use a ball-milling instrument for 2 hours. Samples were activated with KOH activating agent and followed by carbonization process at a temperature of 850 ° C. Results of the untreated samples for the liquid waste contain of Cu, Cd, and Pb with concentration of 15.2918 ppm, 5.5444 ppm and 84.9456 ppm, respectively. Once treated with rubber wood based activated carbon the maximum adsorption occurs in time immersion for 2 hours. The maximum adsorption concentration were as high as 7.8964 ppm (48.36%), 5.0067 ppm (9.69%) and 23.6320 ppm (72.17%) for Cu, Cd and Pb, respectively. The next absorption process were followed by combination of activated carbon and nano-magnetic Fe3O4, the result were 0.2592 ppm (98.30%), 4.5189 ppm (18.49%) and 1.1635 ppm (98.63%) for Cu, Cd and Pb. The maximum adsorption concentration after treated with a mixture of carbon powder and nano-magnetic Fe3O4 plus PVDF, for Cu was 0.2843 ppm (98.14%), Cd was 4.6650 ppm (15.86%) and Pb at 0.7574 ppm ( 99.10%). As a conclution can be found the increasing for the heavy metal absorption for every step experiments, and composite activated carbon, nano magnetic Fe3O4 and PVDF was the best asbsorption material for heavy metal ion in the liquid waste.

Bronze featherback (Notopterus notopterus, Pallas 1769) is an Indonesia’s endemic fish that has high economic value. This study was conducted from July to August 2020 in Sungai Geringging Village, Kampar Kiri District, Riau Province to determine the effects of thyroxine (T4) on growth and survival rate of bronze featherback for 40 days. The experiment lasted for 40 days and used a completely random design with four treatments and four replications. Treatment were P1 (0 mg thyroxine/kg feed), P2 (2 mg thyroxine/kg feed), P3 (4 mg thyroxine/kg feed) and P4 (6 mg thyroxine/kg feed). The fish caught from the Kampar river were reared for 40 days in 1x1x1 m3 with five individuals. per cage. Fish treated in P4 demonstrated high growth in terms of absolute weight (10.05 ± 0.53 g), absolute length (5.27 ± 0.96 cm), daily growth rate (2.97 ± 0.22%) and larval survival rate (95 ± 10%).

The coastal area of East Lingga Subdistrict, Lingga Regency has been designated by the Lingga Regency government as the center for the development of shrimp pond cultivation. This study aims to determine the level of toxicity of the surfactant alkyl sulfate (AS) detergent to post larvae (PL) of Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). An acute test was performed on PL10 samples exposed to AS media for 96 hours. Then the Median Lethal Concentration (LC50) value was calculated for 4 times (24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours). Furthermore, the PL-15 sample was AS in the sub chronic test, then the sample was exposed to AS media for 24 hours, then the growth rate and changes in the gill organ structure of the PL samples were observed. From the test results, it is known that the LC50 values in the AS test for the 24th, 48th, 72th, and 96th times of the shrimp larvae samples obtained LS50 values were 33.6 mg/l, 29.4 mg/l, respectively. 24.3 mg/l, and 22.8 mg/l. Subsequently, an increase in AS concentration by 17.11 mg/l in the rearing medium resulted in a decrease in the growth rate of post larvae. The acute and sub chronic testing period showed changes in the behavior of post-larvae samples. The histopathological observations found damage to the structure of the sample gill organs and hepatopancreas. Symptoms of damage to the structure of the gills began to appear at AS concentrations of 25.58 mg/l at time 96 and 72 with an LC50 value of 34.99 mg/l. Furthermore, it was also seen at an AS concentration of 9.78 mg/l at time 24. The results of this study found that AS toxicity to Vannamei larvae increased with increasing concentration and exposure time.
