ABSTRACT

The Satui river consists of small rivers above it, namely the Baruna river and the Tandui river, while the Batulaki river consists of tributaries, namely the Asikin river and the Waluangin river. The Satui River, whose utilization is used by the community on a daily basis, provides the potential for the availability of clean water, so that if the river is polluted it will have an impact on the surrounding community. This study aims to provide water pollution data that can be used to see the current condition of the Satui River. Based on the analysis of the water quality status of the Satui River in terms of the Pollution Index (IP) value, the Satui River for the period of July Class I to the four sampling locations indicated moderately polluted quality status, class II indicated mildly polluted. During August class I, Sungai Danau was categorized as heavily polluted, while the other three locations were moderately polluted. Class II, the four locations are classified as lightly polluted. Meanwhile, based on the water quality index (IKA) for the July period Class I and II indicated moderately polluted quality status, the August Class I period indicated moderately polluted water quality status, class II indicated mildly polluted.
