| Summary: | Population growth that is not accompanied by adequate wastewater
infrastructure facilities has led to a decline in environmental quality in the waters
of the Citarik Subwatershed. The provision of infrastructure is sometimes not
well-targeted. The Citarik Subwatershed plays an important role in the life of the
community and has the potential for rafting water recreation. Water pollution in
the Citarik Subwatershed is dominated by domestic and agricultural activities.
The objective of this study is the role of infrastructure in pollution control of the
Citarik Subwatershed. This research was conducted by analyzing the sources of
pollution, identifying community accessibility to wastewater infrastructure, and
modeling the role of infrastructure in controlling water pollution in the Citarik
Subwatershed. The method used is quantitative method. The Citarik Subwatershed
pollution control model uses system dynamics modeling with the help of Powersim
Studio 10. The model is built from a population submodel and an environmental
submodel. The analysis results show that the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
parameter has exceeded the class II water quality standard. The dominant
pollution in the Citarik Subwatershed comes from the domestic sector, which
contributes 4,438.69 tons/year, while the agricultural sector contributes 128.05
tons/year of BOD pollutant load. Infrastructure accessibility coverage in the
Citarik Subwatershed reaches 75.65%. Based on the results of the model
simulation, it is found that the role of wastewater infrastructure for the moderate
scenario is able to reduce the pollutant load by 13.3% from the existing condition,
while the optimistic scenario has a contribution in reducing the pollutant load by
23.9% under the existing condition. Wastewater infrastructure has a role in
assisting water pollution control. |
