The water quality of the Upper Citarum: Applying the overall index of pollution, Said-WQI, and pollution index methods.

ABSTRACT: Water is a crucial natural resource, integral to sustaining human life and environmental equilibrium. However, water quality remains a critical issue issue due to prevailing contamination. While river water is a primary source of raw drinking water, much of it, such as Indonesia's Citarum River in West Java, has been polluted. While studies in Indonesia using the Water Quality Index (WQI) are limited, various measurement methods have been developed globally to evaluate water quality. This research compares three methods - the Overall Index of Pollution (OIP), Said-WQI method, and Pollution Index (PI) - to assess the water quality of Upstream Citarum River. The research utilized both primary and secondary data derived from Citarum River samples. Additionally, analytical tools including Micr
