Abstract This research aims at using a combined water quality index (WQI) and pollution index (PI) to assess and characterize river water quality of Cau River which is one of the longest rivers in the north of Vietnam. Five different water quality and water pollution indices were used including the Water Quality Index (WQI), Comprehensive Pollution Index (CPI), Organic Pollution Index (OPI), Eutrophication Index (EI), and Trace Metal Pollution Index (TPI). The combined water pollution indices show more serious pollution towards the river downstream. In particular, CPI and OPI reveal a high risk of eutrophication. Cluster analysis was applied to classify water monitoring points into different quality groups in order to provide a better understanding of the water status in the river. This study indicates that a combined water quality analysis could be an option for decision making water use purposes while its single index shows the current situation of water quality.

Ujung Pacu River is one of the rivers found in North Aceh Regency which is often used by surrounding communities such as for industrial, agricultural, residential and aquaculture activities that can affect river water quality. This study aimed to determine the water physical and chemical parameters in the Ujung Pacu River for aquaculture activities. The research method used was a survey method by determining the sampling station based on community activities around the river. The study consisted of 4 stations with 3 sampling points at each station. Data of water physical and chemical parameters were compared with water quality standards and analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach. The results showed that the range of water quality values were various in each stations. Ujung Pacu River is influenced by daily tide fluctuations. The highest water quality fluctuations occur in salinity, turbidity and depth. The pollution index in the Ujung Pacu river is included to criteria of Lightly polluted rivers with range 1.8545 - 4.4979. The Ujung Pacu River is unsuitable for aquaculture systems using floating net cages system in river bodies. Keywords: Ujung Pacu River, water quality, pollution index

Monthly Algal samples were collected from selected three sampling station of Shatt Al-Arab River from August 2016 to July 2017. The most pollution tolerant genera and species of four groups of algae were recorded from three sites of the river.Palmer (1969) Algal Genus pollution index and Algal species pollution index were employed to study the water quality of Shatt Al-Arab River. The total score of Algal Genus pollution index of station 1, 2 and 3 were 21, 24 and 21 respectively. While total score from the Algal species pollution index at station (1) was 18, station (2) was 21, While at station (3) was 17 recorded from Shatt Al-Arab River. The total score of each station was greater than 20 indicating the confirmed high organic pollution. The present study showed that the water quality of Shatt Al-Arab River was affected from domestic uses at the downstream of the river.

Metal Pollution Index

Code is one of the rivers influenced by a large number of waste-generating human activities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Despite continued discharges of pollution loads from anthropogenic waste, the heavy metal pollution index (HPI)—a water quality index assessing heavy metal ions present in a body of water—remains nationally underutilized. The research was intended to 1) analyze the river water quality based on metal and nonmetal parameters typical of domestic waste, 2) calculate HPI using either and both parameters, and 3) evaluate the resultant water quality status. The water quality data were the products of temporal river monitoring conducted by the Forestry and Environmental Office for Yogyakarta. The heavy metal parameters included Fe, Cu, Cd, Cr, and Pb, while the nonmetal parameters were BOD, COD, TSS, ammonia, oil and grease, and total coliforms. Each parameter value was compared with the water quality standard issued in Governor Regulation No. 20/2008.  The results showed that the HPI composite of heavy metal parameters classified the river water quality as excellent (2.52), whereas the one representing nonmetal parameters indicated bad quality (55.04). Nevertheless, based on the HPI composed of all parameters, the quality fell into the category excellent (3.94). Consequently, when all metal and nonmetal parameters are combined into the HPI calculation, the river shows a better water quality status.Keywords: HPI (Heavy Metal Pollution Index) water quality, domestic waste, heavy metal, Yogyakarta

 Sirau River is one of the rivers in the Barito Timur Regency which flows through the Dusun Timur District. Sirau River water is used as raw material for regional water companies (PDAM) and is used by communities around the river to meet the needs of other daily life such as MCK and other uses and is also used as a landfill, domestic wastewater and waste water mining and plantation activities both directly and indirectly. This study aims to analyze the status of pollution of the Sirau river through the approach of the pollution index value, assess the quality of the Sirau River water and identify the source of pollutants entering the Sirau River. The results showed that in general the water quality of the Sirau River for pH, COD, BOD, Fe, and Mn parameters exceeds the water quality standard namely Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 class II concerning Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, the main source of pollutants comes from residential domestic waste, coal mining activities and dry leaves that fall into river streams. Sirau river water quality from upstream to downstream based on river water quality analysis using the pollution index method shows that water quality has decreased where the river conditions are generally mildly polluted. The quality of lightly polluted Sirau river water cannot be utilized in accordance with the designation of class II water based on Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 concerning Management of Water Quality and Water Pollution Control.
