Abstract

The estuary of the Cidamar river is one of the major river estuaries in Cianjur Regency, West Java. The mouth of the river used by the surrounding community to support several activities such as agriculture, plantations, animal husbandry and other daily activities. This study aims to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of waters during the rainy season in the Cidamar Estuary, Kabupaten Cianjur. The study was conducted in January, February and March 2022 where the month entered the rainy season. Location Sampling was carried out at two different points with a distance of 1.5 km between site. Water parameters were analyzed using Water Quality Recorder LUTRON WAC-2019SD and done in situ. The data obtained were analyzed and compared with water quality standards. The results showed that the twelve physical and chemical parameters of the waters showed different values each month. A number of Water parameters show values that meet water quality standards such as the oxygen content in the waters. There is a difference the value of each measured parameter is influenced by several factors such as season, sampling time and the presence of activity in the vicinity.
