Total suspended solid (TSS) pollution load model at the Jagir River Estuary, Surabaya, East Java

Abstract

The research aims to create a TSS spatial distribution map model and a pollution load model at the Jagir River Estuary—a descriptive method for the last six years to describe the TSS pollution load model. Satellite image data processing uses SNAP software with the application of the Laili algorithm (2015). The distribution of TSS pollution values and loads still meets the quality standards for mangrove ecosystems. The average value of TSS distribution in 2018 - 2023, respectively, is 18,966 mg/L, 14,578 mg/L, 17,267 mg/L, 16.921 mg/L, and 15,013 mg/L with the highest TSS pollution load occurring in 2023 and the lowest in 2021 and 2022. The average pollution load from 6 research stations in 2019 – 2023 still does not exceed the capacity limit of the Jagir River to accommodate TSS accumulation. The TSS pollution load model in the Jagir River Estuary, Surabaya, East Java, follows a quadratic pattern with the regression equation y = -173.01X2 + 2339.20X - 2299.80 (R2 = 0.7674) with a peak TSS pollution load reaching 5,607.05 tons m3/month in January and lowest in August
