| Abstract | The Surabaya River plays a very important role for the water supply of the people in
Surabaya city of Indonesia. But pollution load from more than 40 industries and 26,000 people in
the basin causing the deterioration of water quality of the river day by day. It is necessary to solve
the river pollution problems and to improve the water quality. Therefore, management strategies
for pollution control should be carried out for the River.
A MIKE 11 river model has been used to assess quantitatively the potential effects of
reduced BOD loading to the Surabaya River. The model is dynamic in nature, which includes the
dominant hydrodynamic processes of the river as well as the BOD loading and is linked to oxygen
conditions. The model has been calibrated based on the variation of the full yearly hydrodynamic
conditions as well as the BOD and DO concentrations in the year of 1993. Using the model,
scenarios of BOD/DO conditions after implementation of several BOD reduction to the river have
been carried out.
The results of the study shows that water quality at most locations of the Surabaya River
fails to meet the standard. It is recommended that the upstream, tributaries, domestic, and
industrial BOD load have to be reduced by more than 65% for the improvement of water quality.
However, the industrial BOD concentration must be reduced by more than 90% in order to fulfill
the industrial effluent standard. Regular monitoring program must be carried out to achieve water
quality control effectively.
The present study shows that numerical model is useful to quantify the influence of
wastewater discharge to the water quality. It can be use as a parts and tools for the implementation
of river management strategies. |
