Madirda Lake Ecotourism Management Strategy Based on Water Quality Analysis

Abstract

Madirda lake is located in Berjo village, Ngargoyoso, Central Java. The utilization of Madirda lake is relatively low although it is continuing to increase every year example for tourism, irrigation and anthropogenic activity. It affects the water quality and also impacts on population. Water quality analysis is needed to find out the quality of water, in this research used three parameters: physical (temperature, TDS and TSS), chemical (DO and pH), and biological (coliform). The result of the research shows that the quality of Madirda lake based on the water Pollution Index (IP) and STORET methods is in compliance with the class I water quality standard, which can be used as a benchmark for drinking water and/or other uses when the same function requires water quality based on water quality standards by the Law Ministry of Environmental No. 22 year 2021. These methods are easy technique and useful for representing the water quality data.
