Pemantauan Kualitas Air Di Bagian Hulu Sungai Cisadane Dengan Indikator Makroinvertebrata

Abstract

Observation on the Water Quality of Cisadane River in the Upstream Part Using Macroinvertebrates as The Indikator Water is an important thing for either human life or other creatures on the earth. Water posses a lot of necesities, among of them is to fullfill domestics, industries, and agriculture. For this purposes people often take from rivers. River Cisedane is one of rivers that available in Bogor City, having water catchment area of 1100 km2 and is one of main rivers in West Java and Banten Province. One procedure for testing water quality of rivers is to see the invertebrate animals available in the river, because some species are very sensitive for pollution. There were three points in the reserch area that were in upperpart area was Rancamaya, middle area was Pasir Jaya, and the lower area was Situ Gede. Water quality value index in Rancamaya (Upper part) was 5.42, included middle level of water pollution. In Pasir Jaya (middle point) was 4.75, included polluted water level, and in Situ Gede (lower prt) was 4.28 included more pollutud water level. Overall of observed research area were the lower part of river the worse pollution available. The pollution available in the research area was caused by domestics waste from inhabitant and other chemical waste from agriculture.Keyword : Mikroinvertebrata, Cisadane, water quality, upper river part ABSTRAK Air merupakan salah satu unsur yang sangat penting bagi kelangsungan hidup manusia maupun mahkluk hidup lainnya yang ada di muka bumi. Air memiliki banyak manfaat, diantaranya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga, industri dan pertanian. Untuk memanfaatkan air tersebut biasanya masyarakat mengambil air dari satu sungai pada suatu Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS). Salah satu DAS yang terdapat di Kota Bogor yaitu DAS Cisadane dengan daerah tangkapan air seluas 1.100 km2, selain itu DAS Cisadane merupakan aliran sungai utama di Propinsi Banten dan Jawa Barat. Salah satu cara untuk menilai kualitas air sungai adalah dengan melihat keberadaan makroinvertebrata yang hidup di sungai tersebut. Makroinvertebrata dapat memberikan petunjuk adanya pencemar, karena jenis-jenis tertentu sangat peka terhadap pencemaran. Maka berdasarkan hal tersebut penelitian ini akan mengidentifikasi adanya makro-invertebrata di sungai yang merupakan bioindikator kualitas airnya. Tiga titik pengambilan sampel makro-invertebrata di hulu sungai Cisedane yaitu di bagian atas peneltian (Daerah Rancamaya), di bagian tengah penelitian (Pasir Jaya) dan di bagian bawah penelitian (Situ Gede). Nilai indeks kualitas air di bagian atas penelitian, yaitu di daerah Desa Rancamaya adalah 5,42. Itu menunjukan bahwa kualitas air di daerah tersebut masuk air berpolusi sedang. Pada lokasi penelitian di bagian tengah, yaitu Daerah Desa Pasir Jaya indeks kualitas air nya adalah 4,75. Itu menunjukan bahwa kualitas air di sana masuk air kotor. Sedangkan di bagian bawah penelitian, yaitu daerah Desa Situ Gede indeks kualitas air nya adalah 4,28. Itu menunjukan bahwa kualitas air di sana masuk air kotor. Dari Nilai Indeks Kualitas air di seluruh lokasi hulu sungai penelitian menunjukan bahwa semakin ke bawah kualitas air sungai semakin kotor. Kualitas air di sana diduga diakibatkan oleh sampah atau limbah organik yang berasal dari rumah tangga. Selain itu, kualitas air di sana diduga disebabkan oleh bahan –bahan kimia berbahaya yang berasal dari penggunaan pupuk, pestisida di areal pertanian.

Organic pollution level and water quality in Poso river with macroinvertebrate indicators

“…Macroinvertebrates can be use as bioindicators because they live attached to a substrate and have low motility, making them difficult to move around (Widiyanto & Sulistayarsi, 2014). Some characteristics of macroinvertebrates as good bioindicators include: 1) Sensitive to changes in water quality that affect species composition and abundance; 2) Found in almost all waters; 3) There are quite a lot of varieties which give different responses to different disturbances; 4) Has limited movement, so that it can be used as an indicator of the state of the local environment; 5) Easy to collect and to identify its family taxa; 6) Sampling is easy to do, inexpensive and does not have a negative impact on other living things Rahayu in (Panjaitan et al, 2011). This is in line with the opinion of (Anyanwu et al, 2019) stating that macroinvertebrates are ideal bioindicators because of their wide distribution, ease and low-cost sampling.…”
