Analisis Kualitas Air Minum Berdasarkan Parameter Fisika dan Kimiawi di Desa Dongkala Kecamatan Pasarwajo Kabupaten Buton Tahun 2024

Abstrak

The quality of drinking water consumed by the community greatly affects health. This study aims to analyze the quality of drinking water based on physical and chemical parameters in Dongkala Village, Pasarwajo Subdistrict, Buton Regency. The physical parameters studied include odor and taste, while the chemical parameters include lime content (CaCO3) and acidity level (pH). The research method used was descriptive observational with laboratory tests on 18 water samples consisting of PDAM water, wells, refill depots, village water, cave water, and cooking water. The results showed that the samples had lime content ranging from 2.56 to 640 mg/l. which is close to or exceeds the threshold set in the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010, with pH values varying in the range between 6.86-8.34 mg/l which still meets health standards. In addition, some samples showed odor and taste that were not suitable for consumption. These findings indicate the need for better water management and treatment efforts to ensure the availability of safe drinking water for the community. The results of this study are expected to serve as a basis for water resources management policies in the area as well as a reference for future research in the field of water quality and public health.
