Abstract

Water quality is one aspect that is increasingly being considered in the management of water resources. In addition to the requirements regarding water quality that are more considered, currently there is a tendency for water pollution to occur in several water sources, including springs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the water quality of the Tirtomulyono and Tirtomulyani springs in Kebonarum District, Klaten Regency, Central Java Province. To determine the condition of the water quality of the Tirtomulyono and Tirtomulyani springs, direct observations and water samples were taken. Direct observations in the field were carried out to determine physical parameters, while water samples were taken for analysis in the laboratory for chemical and biological parameters. The results showed that in terms of physical and chemical parameters, the quality of water in Tirtomulyono and Tirtomulyani springs was good because it met drinking water requirements. according to the Regulation of the Minister of Health No.492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010. However, based on the results of laboratory analysis, the Total Colliform value of the two springs is > 1600 MPN/100 ml even though according to the quality standard the Total Colliform value must be zero, so in terms of the Total Colliform value it does not meet the drinking water requirement.
