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.
