Aquifer in river bank area is mostly susceptive toward pollution occurring in river. One of parameters to determine the interaction process between groundwater and river is a natural isotope of 222Rn. The significant difference of radon concentration in groundwater and river water can be utilized as a scientific basis for investigating groundwater infiltration in river bank. Those studied parameters are residence time and infiltration rate. The research using 222Rn had been conducted in shallow groundwater of Ciliwung river bank - South Jakarta during rainy and dry season. The range of 222Rn concentration in shallow groundwater monitored in dry season was between 666 - 2590 Bq/m3 which was higher than that of rainy season ranging at 440 to 1546 Bq/m3. Otherwise, concentration of 222Rn in river water could not be detected (its 222Rn concentration = 0 Bq/m3) due to its much lower concentration either rainy or dry season. During dry season monitoring, equilibration between groundwater and river water was reached at the distance approximately 98 - 140 m away from river side. Estimating residence time based on 222Rn concentration at nearest site from the river and at equlibration area was 4.2 days such that the infiltration rate from river water into aquifer might be 7.8 m/day.Keywords: 222Rn, groundwater, residence time, infiltration rate.

The chemical characteristics of the Ciliwung River were analyzed to understand hydrochemical evolution. A fraction of sea water mixture and kinds of mineral controlling for chemicals were also determined. During three year investigations in 2015, 2016, and 2018, electrical conductivity increased with decreasing elevations. Two hydrochemical facies had been identified for the Ciliwung river water; those were Ca-Mg-HCO3 and Ca-Na-HCO3.  The river water mixing with seawater was recognized in the Mangga Dua site in which its water type had shifted to Na-Ca-HCO3-Cl. Based on Na-Cl contents, the fraction of sea water into the Ciliwung River reached 2% in the Mangga Dua site during the dry season and decreased to 0.7% during the rainy season in 2015. The much higher monthly rainfall during the dry season in 2016 and 2018 had washed out invading seawater from the Mangga Dua site; its fraction of sea water was less than 0.4%. Saturation indexes with respect to calcite, dolomite, and gypsum minerals showed an increasing trend related to the decreasing elevations. All water samples were undersaturated with respect to gypsum. Meanwhile, saturation indexes with respect to calcite and dolomite mostly indicated undersaturated, except in the Mangga Dua site that was saturated (during the rainy season in 2015 and dry season in 2018) and supersaturated during the dry season in 2015.

Surfactants are compounds that make up deterjents, which if deterjent is dumped into the river it will cause pollution. In the province of West Java, river water and receiving water bodies, based on the results of the study, showed moderate to severe pollution by wastewater containing deterjents. The results showed that the PAC coagulant and alum has a small effect on the decrease in surfactant and floc velocity settling, where the decrease in surfactant in the rainy season for PAC coagulant is 49.51% and alum coagulant 40.73%. While in the dry season the decrease in surfactant with PAC coagulant 41.06% and alum coagulant 31.10%. Then the floc velocity settling was measured to explain the correlation of surfactant decline, and the results obtained for the rainy season floc velocity settling with PAC coagulant was 0.80 cm / minute and alum was 0.27 cm / minute. Whereas in the dry season with the PAC coagulant the floc velocity settling was 0.91 cm / minute and the alum coagulant was 0.31 cm / minute. The results of quantitative regression analysis with the SPSS statistical test showed that the H0 hypothesis was accepted, that the coagulant had no effect on surfactant reduction and floc velocity settling.

The aim of this study is to access the quality of monitored rivers and to map the polluted river sections in the Sebou basin using Geographic Information System (GIS). The potential causes of water quality variation will also be added for suitable measures to be taken. A Water Quality Index (WQI) which developed in Morocco was applied to 17 river water quality monitoring stations with data on 6 parameters (Dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonium ion (NH4 + ), 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), fecal coliforms (FC) and total phosphorus (TP)) collected twice during the wet and dry season over 1990-2017 period. The result shows that river water quality is classified as bad, very bad and medium at 59% of the monitoring stations, while 41% are considered as good to excellent. Interpolation of mean values of overall WQI of the 17 river water quality monitoring stations, revealed evidence of quality degradation along several kilometers of most river sections in the Sebou basin. The correlation matrix between the sub-indices of water quality parameters and the overall WQI showed high positive correlation coefficients and highlights the contribution to water quality degradation as follows: TP (𝑟 = +0.96 ) ≥ NH4 + (𝑟 = +0.96 ) > BOD5 (𝑟 = +0.94) > COD (𝑟 = +0.86) > FC (𝑟 = +0.83) > DO (𝑟 = +0.79). The sections of Fès, Innaounene Rivers, and an extended stretch of Tizguit River must no longer be used for irrigation. River water quality is overall of better quality in the wet season compared to the dry season. Simple linear regressions between the seasonal water quality variation and the overall WQI showed higher coefficients of determination R 2 (0.67 and 0.60) between dry season WQI and the overall WQI and between wet season WQI and the overall WQI respectively. It is clear that discharges of industrial and domestic wastewater during the dry season and agricultural activities are most likely to be the causes of the degradation of river water quality.

Water samples were collected from three points of Louhajong river (Dighulia, Kagmari Bridge and Oloa) to see the seasonal variation in physico-chemical parameters. The results revealed that some of the parameters such as TDS, alkalinity and acidity have exceeded the standard level in dry season in all of the points, which are unsuitable for different purposes including fish culture. During dry and wet seasons the highest concentrations of BOD was recorded as 2.0 and 0.8 ppm at Kagmari Bridge (point-2) respectively. DO ranged from 1.4 to 3.1 and 2.4 to 3.8 ppm during dry and wet seasons. Maximum and minimum EC was recorded as 890 and 130 ?s/cm at Dighulia (point-1) during dry and wet seasons. The results suggest that at wet season Louhajong river may be suitable for fish culture and other purposes.Bangladesh J. Sci. Res. 28(1): 9-16, June-2015

In the tropics, there are too few studies on isolation ofBlastocystissp. subtypes from water sources; in addition, there is also an absence of reported studies on the occurrence ofBlastocystissp. subtypes in water during different seasons. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the occurrence ofBlastocystissp. subtypes in river water and other water sources that drained aboriginal vicinity of highly endemic intestinal parasitic infections during wet and dry seasons. Water samples were collected from six sampling points of Sungai Krau (K1–K6) and a point at Sungai Lompat (K7) and other water sources around the aboriginal villages. The water samples were collected during both seasons, wet and dry seasons. Filtration of the water samples were carried out using a flatbed membrane filtration system. The extracted DNA from concentrated water sediment was subjected to single round polymerase chain reaction and positive PCR products were subjected to sequencing. All samples were also subjected to filtration and cultured on membrane lactose glucuronide agar for the detection of faecal coliforms. During wet season,Blastocystissp. ST1, ST2 and ST3 were detected in river water samples.Blastocystissp. ST3 occurrence was sustained in the river water samples during dry season. HoweverBlastocystissp. ST1 and ST2 were absent during dry season. Water samples collected from various water sources showed contaminations ofBlastocystissp. ST1, ST2, ST3 and ST4, during wet season andBlastocystissp. ST1, ST3, ST8 and ST10 during dry season. Water collected from all river sampling points during both seasons showed growth ofEscherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes, indicating faecal contamination. In this study,Blastocystissp. ST3 is suggested as the most robust and resistant subtype able to survive in any adverse environmental condition. Restriction and control of human and animal faecal contaminations to the river and other water sources shall prevent the transmission ofBlastocystissp. to humans and animals in this aboriginal community.

Interconnection between river water and groundwater plays an important role in maintaining water quantity and quality in hydrological systems. Furthermore, the exact interconnection is often difficult to observe and measure. This study attempts to explain river and shallow groundwater interconnection in urbanized areas of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Isotopic (δD and δ18O) and chemical analyses were performed on river and groundwater samples, and the results were analyzed using statistical methods to identify areas of interconnection between river water and groundwater. Higher concentrations and positive strong correlations of Na+ with K+, NH4+-N, Cl−, HCO3−, and PO4−-P, and a change of water type from Ca-HCO3 during the wet season to Na-K-HCO3 during the dry season indicate higher contamination in river water during the dry season. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used in grouping water samples into clusters on the basis of isotopic and chemical (Na+ and Cl−) composition. Grouping of river and groundwater samples in one–one clusters from wet and dry seasons shows the presence of interconnection, indicating the contribution of river water in recharging shallow groundwater. These results imply that shallow groundwater found near rivers is chemically contaminated by polluted river water through bank infiltration, in both wet and dry seasons.

Abstract The coupling between land use/landscape pattern and water quality in river system varies across different spatial and temporal scales. It is important to understand the association between water quality and land use/landscape pattern across different spatial and temporal scales for the protection of water resources. Here, we measured seasonal water quality at 12 sub-basins in the upper reaches of the Han River (UHR) between 2010 and 2018. We conducted factor analysis and redundancy analysis to determine the links between land use and water quality at multiple spatial scales and to identify the main factors influencing water quality. We found that the concentration of nutrients, including total nitrogen, total phosphorus, nitrate-N, and ammonium-N were higher during the wet season than the dry season. Total nitrogen was identified as the main driver of nutrient pollution of UHR, whereas total phosphorus was identified as another potential nutrient pollutant. We also found that water quality parameters had a stronger related to land use types over the wet season than the dry season. Croplands and urban lands increased phosphorus concentrations of river water, whereas forest and grass lands decreased the nitrogen concentrations of river water at the sub-basins scale. Land use at riparian zone scales better explained variations in water quality than land use at sub-basin scales. The explained variations in landscape metrics were generally higher over the dry season compared to that over the wet season. The largest patch index and Shannon's diversity index were the main predictors of river water quality in UHR.
