Utilization of springs as water resources for their daily needs by the people of Sukawati Sub-Distric of Gianyar Regency, Bali is still quite high Human activities, such as increasing domestic, industrial and agricultural activities, have an effect on decreasing water quality. This research was conducted ini December 2019 to January 2020 at Pancoran Kutri springs, Beji Dalem Agung Kemenuh springs and Taman Beji Cengcengan springs. This research aimed to determine water quality based on Bali Governor's Regulation No.16 of 2016 concerning Environmental Quality Standards and Standard Criteria for Enviromental Damage Based on Class (Class I) and Minister of Health Republic of Indonesia Regulation No.492/ Menkes/Per/IV/2010 concerning Prerequisites for Drinking Water Quality. The parameters analyzed were the physical parameters (temperature and TDS), the chemical parameters (pH, DO, BOD, nitrate, phosphate, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb)) and the biological parameters (fecal coliform bacteria). The results of the research conducted showed that the water quality in the three springs in the study location still met the water quality standards. However, DO parameters at Pancoran Kutri springs, BOD parameters at Taman Beji Cengcengan springs and phosphate in the three springs at the research location are based on regulations, as well as fecal coliform bacteria parameters in the three springs at the research location based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010 have exceeded the quality standard threshold.

AbstractA bacteriological study was completed on pools and whirlpools operated by hotels and private health clubs in the metropolitan area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Coliform bacteria, fecal coliform bacteria, and fecal streptococci were found only when other indices showed a drastic deterioration in water quality. Aerobic plate counts were higher, and staphylococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa occurred more often in whirlpools than in swimming pools. There was a correlation between aerobic plate counts and the presence of staphylococci and P. aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa was rare in swimming pools in the absence of staphylococci; however, in whirlpools the organism was often found in the absence of staphylococci, and when aerobic plate counts were low. P. aeruginosa and plate counts in excess of 3,000 per ml occurred more frequently in whirlpools when the free chlorine residual was less than one part per million. The surface film showed concentrations of staphylococci far greater than the pool water. Whirlpools appear to present a different ecosystem that favors the establishment of P. aeruginosa. Staphylococci, but not Staphylococcus aureus, are useful in indicators of pool water quality but better laboratory methodology is required. Additional attention should be directed to the bacteriology of the water surface film, which presents a more direct hazard to bathers.

Water Quality Deterioration

ABSTRAKSungai Kuin merupakan anak Sungai Martapura yang yang bermuara di Sungai Barito. Sungai ini terdapat di Kota Banjarmasin, Kalimantan Selatan. Kejadian diare tertinggi di Kota Banjarmasin terjadi di bantaran Sungai Kuin, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai kandungan bakteri fecal coliform pada sungai ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis jumlah kandungan bakteri fecal coliform di Sungai Kuin dan menganalisis cara mengatasi penurunan kualitas air Sungai Kuin akibat keberadaan bakteri fecal coliform. Data diambil sepanjang Sungai Kuin dengan panjang 3.909,00 m yang terbagi menjadi 20 segmen (10 segmen berada di bagian kanan sungai dan 10 segmen berada di bagian kiri sungai). Pembagian segmen berdasarkan panjang sungai per 390 meter, dengan sampel sebanyak 5 segmen yang mewakili segmen lainnya. Teknik analisis yang digunakan yaitu dengan menggunakan hasil uji laboratorium, perbandingan terhadap Peraturan Gubernur Kalimantan Selatan No 5 tahun 2007 dan referensi dari katalog informasi pilihan jamban sehat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas air Sungai Kuin adalah berwarna kecoklatan, dan terkadang tercium bau terutama pada saat hujan turun. Jumlah rerata kandungan bakteri fecal coliform di Sungai Kuin adalah 210/100 ml pada saat pasang naik dan 780/100 ml pada saat pasang surut. Kualitas air Sungai Kuin tidak tidak memenuhi baku mutu air minum karena kandungan bakteri fecal coliform berada di atas baku mutu 100/100 ml.  Penurunan kualitas air Sungai Kuin dapat dilakukan dengan pembangunan jamban yang sesuai dengan lingkungan perairan pasang surut.ABSTRACTKuin River is a tributary of Martapura River, which flows into Barito River. It traverses Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province. The highest diarrhea incidence in this city was found in the banks of Kuin River. Therefore, this research, focusing on fecal coliform bacteria in Kuin River, becomes necessary. Aside from analyzing the concentration of fecal coliform, it aimed to determine the strategies for dealing with the resultant water quality deterioration. The research data was obtained directly from Kuin River, i.e., 3.909 m in length. The river was divided into 20 segments (10 segments on each side of the river); hence, the length of each segment was 390 m. Afterwards, five segments were selected to represent the river. The research used laboratory analysis and, then, compared the analysis results with the Governor Regulation No. 5/2007 and other references, i.e., selected catalogs containing information of healthy lavatories. The results showed that the physical appearance of Kuin River included brownish color and foul-smelling water, especially during rainfall. The average concentration of fecal coliform bacteria in Kuin River was 210/100 ml during high tides and 780/100 ml during low tides. The water quality did not meet the standard for drinking water because the bacteria found in the river was above the allowed concentration, i.e., 100/100 ml. Water quality deterioration can be decelerated by constructing lavatories that are suitable for tidal environment.

Fecal Coliform Bacteria

Water is the main source for life and also the most severe substance caused by pollution. The mandatory parameters for determining microbiological quality of drinking water are total non-fecal Coliform bacteria and Coliform fecal (Escherichia coli). Coliform bacteria are a group of microorganisms commonly used as indicators, where these bacteria can be a signal to determine whether a water source has been contaminated by bacteria or not, while fecal Coliform bacteria are indicator bacteria polluting pathogenic bacteria originating from human feces and warm-blooded animals (mammals) . The water inspection method in this study uses the MPN (Most Probable Number) method which consists of 3 tests, namely, the presumption test, the affirmation test, and the reinforcement test. The results showed that of 15 drinking water samples 8 samples were tested positive for Coliform bacteria with the highest total bacterial value of sample number 1, 15 (210/100 ml), while 7 other samples were negative. From 8 positive Coliform samples only 1 sample was stated to be negative fecal Coliform bacteria and 7 other samples were positive for Coliform fecal bacteria with the highest total bacterial value of sample number 1 (210/100 ml).
