The journal is investigating the groundwater quality in the area of Ciracas, Indonesia. The groundwater in the region contains organic and anorganoc pollutants. Air yellowish and smelled like iron. In addition, there Coliform and E. coli bacteria .There are 5 villages sampled for this study, which are Ciracas, Susukan, Kampung Rambutan, Kelapa Dua Wetan, and Cibubur Bekasi where at any location, there are fields, swamps, and gardens. Data obtained from 15 wells with 3 repetitions. Then the data is processed by ANOVA and Pearson's Correlation to determine the relationship between the distance of wells and septic tanks with a concentration Coliform and E. Coli. The results showed that there was no relationship between the distance and the depth of the septic tank to the concentration of bacteria. High concentrations of Fe in a swamp area and high Mn concentration in the field. From these results, the researchers concluded that the groundwater in the area of Ciracas, Indonesia is not potable and if you want to be used for drinking should be processed should be boiled to 100 ° C to kill bacteria contained therein. 






Through the journal, it is known that land use can affect groundwater quality. Regional land used for agricultural activities generate waste in the form of remnants of the disinfectant which if accumulated would pollute the surrounding waters, including groundwater. The population is increasing from year to year, causing a decrease in the quality of ground water due to the distance between wells and septic tanks too close. As a result, groundwater quality become worse and according to Air Quality Standards by the Decree of Health Minister of Indonesia (DHMI) No. 907 in 2002 and The Regulation of Health Minister of Indonesia (RHMI) No. 416 in 1990. Researchers say, the solution to these problems is to perform the processing of contaminated ground water to be safe for consumption by performing the coagulation process. Moreover, it can also do the processing in physics, namely by filtration, precipitation, Absorption using a material such as activated carbon particles that can bind pollutants and adsorption is the process of binding ions contained in the water. Reduce urbanization and population density in the region ciracas is also one alternative solution to improve water quality for the long term.
