Abstract

This work aims to investigate the water quality of the Way Umpu River in Way Kanan District-Lampung Province-Indonesia in terms of parameters including pH, BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), TSS (Total Suspended Solids), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), DO (Dissolved Oxygen), and Phosphate. In addition, this work also purposes to investigate the relationship between seasons and the water quality of the Way Umpu River on public health. The relationship between season and water quality of the Way Umpu River on public health was analyzed using a two-way ANOVA statistical test. Based on the six parameters of the research results, the Pollution Index value in April 2019 fulfilled the river water quality status, while in October 2019, the Pollution Index (IP) value stated that the water quality status of the Way Umpu River was lightly polluted. The p-value in the season is 0.438 or > 0.05 and the water quality is 0.320 or > 0.05.
