The impact of corrosion due to salinity levels in the eastern zone of krueng aceh on the service life of steel frame building structural elements

Abstract The use of profile steel as the main element in construction has gained significant popularity due to its mechanical strength and ease of workability. Corrosion is a problem that occurs within steel as a result of the chemical interaction between the steel and its surrounding environment. The purpose of this research is to assess the impact of corrosion rate on the service life of steel frame structures in the East Zone of Krueng Aceh based on varying levels of salinity. This study employs direct observation and an experimental method that carry out testing on-site for 30 days on test objects/items. The test specimens consist of steel plates measuring 50mm x 25mm x 5mm with BJ45 quality, which were cut and buried in soil excavated to a depth of approximately 1 to 2 meters for one month while submerged. Subsequently, calculations were made using the Weight Loss Method to obtain the corrosion rate value.The results obtained in Zone II, which has the highest salinity level of 6788 ppm, yielded a corrosion rate value of 0.145 mm/year. In this study, the structural element under consideration is the column. Remaining service life analysis is based on the reduction in the cross-sectional area of the column profile after corrosion, thus assessing the decrease in its strength while referring back to the requirements outlined in SNI 1729:2020. The remaining service life of the steel frame structure in Zone II after corrosion is 21 years. For the test specimens placed in Zone IV, which has the lowest salinity level of 941 ppm.

Pembuatan dan Pemasangan Sistem Penerangan Panel Surya dalam Upaya Peningkatan Aktivitas Peternak Sapi di Desa Lampreh Kecamatan Ingin Jaya Kabupaten Aceh Besar

Lampreh Village is located in Lamteungoh settlement, Ingin Jaya District, Aceh Besar Regency, this village is one of the assisted villages of Syiah Kuala University. The main potential of this village is agriculture and cattle farming. Activities of cattle farmers such as feeding, cleaning cages, fumigating cows on the Krueng Aceh road in Lampreh Village are only done in the afternoon before the sun gets dark. The problem is that farmers along the Krueng Aceh road do not have lighting and there is no PLN electricity network. In this product-based Community Service, lighting from solar panels (PLTS) has been installed. This PLTS system has a solar panel capacity of 300 WP and a battery of 200 Ah.

Exploring The Synergies between Flood Risk and Urban Needs - Floodplain Development In Aceh River.

A Floodplain is an area next to a riverbed that is more or less frequently covered with water in times of high-water discharges from adjacent rivers. It usually has a high environmental value because of its heterogeneous habitats for wildlife species. However, the condition of rivers in each country could be unique and different, because of their history and location thus creating a different nuance. The object study of this research is a constructed floodway and flood plain in Krueng Aceh (Aceh River) owned and managed by the local government. Since the last big flood in 2000, this wide flat land remained dry in several areas and was used by some villagers to make a living. In 2020 it had cleared from several illegal land uses, resulted a grassland floodplain with low-intensity use which in theory is in a good direction. Meanwhile, in the perspective of urban needs, river development could also bring economic, social, and environmental benefits to community. The objective of this study is to investigate the concept of ecosystem services and human-landscape connectivity. The method used in this research is semi-qualitative research that combines theories and observation. In the context of ecosystem services identification through activities monitoring, it shows that cultural and provision services is the highest while regulating and supporting services still need further research. As for human-landscape connectivity, there are more ‘rooms’/spaces to develop align with the availability of cultural services.

Increasing population leads to higher demand for clean water. Clean water supply in Banda Aceh City is entrusted to the Tirta Daroy Water Supply Company with a capacity of 730 l/s with raw water sources from the Krueng Aceh River, Krueng Aceh Watershed. Master Plan of the Banda Aceh City Drinking Water Supply System 2015 was planned to increase production capacity by 1,916 l/s by 2035. So, a reliable raw water resources are needed to meet the increase in production capacity of 1,186 l/s. The reliability of raw water resources can be attempted by statistical analysis of minimum successive dry discharge data of duration 1,2,7,15, and 30 days with theoretical distribution fit tests carried out. The types of distributions used to analyze extreme dry discharge are the Gumbel, Log-Normal, and Log-Pearson III distributions. From the results, the Krueng Aceh River can meet the raw water sources needs until 2035 with the dependable flow of QR20-1 = 4.74 m3/s. Increasing production capacity is planned by building a processing plant at two stages, 800 l/s and 400 l/s.

Microplastic Removal in Krueng Aceh River Water Using Ultrafiltration Membrane from Polyethersulfone Polymer (PES)

The Company's input pipes contained microplastics, per the preliminary test findings. While the water yield produced by PDAM Tirta Daroy contains 150 particles/L, the Tirta Daroy Drinking Water Area has 275 particles/L. Microplastics found in the water pose a major risk to living beings if they are consumed. This work aims to characterize the properties, flux, and polyethersulfone (PES) membrane rejection coefficient, which were made utilizing the phase inversion technique with a solvent and additives called N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In Sungai Krueng Aceh, titanium dioxide (TiO2) is utilized to filter out microplastics from the water. Results of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) examination of Membrane Morphology demonstrate that the resulting membrane is an asymmetrical membrane of two layers, the upper layer relatively thin and the lower layer porous. When compared to the PES membrane when it was 15% DMF/TiO2, the 20% DMF/TiO2 membrane exhibits a finger-like cross-sectional structure called a macrovoid) with more and larger numbers. Analysis of the microplastic rejection coefficients proved the effectiveness of PES, DMF, and TiO2 membranes in removing microplastics. Results of tests on the effectiveness of rejecting microplastics after undergoing process filtration with a microplastic rejection coefficient of 94% and 14.2 particles/L utilizing a 20% PES/DMF/TiO2 membrane Performance of PES membranes: The PES membrane with 20% DMF/TiO2 has a water flux of 0.467 L/m2.hour compared to 15% DMF/TiO2 0.733 L/m2.hour. This study's findings on membrane Ultrafiltration have the potential to be used as a water filter standard in PDAM.

PEMETAAN KERAPATAN VEGETASI DALAM MENCEGAH ABLASI DAS KRUENG ACEH DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN SISTEM INFORMASI GEOGRAFIS (SIG) DI KECAMATAN MONTASIK

The river in Montasik District is a sub-watershed of Krueng Aceh. The Krueng Aceh watershed flows from upstream in Cot Seuke Aceh Besar, to downstream at Darmaga Nelayan Lampulo, Banda Aceh. The water level of the Krueng Aceh river in Montasik District often increases during the rainy season. The increase in river water levels was caused by high-intensity rain and shipments from upstream areas, causing trees to fall on the banks of the river, river ablation, river water soaking the community's plantations and cattle ranches, and river water also overflowing into the soccer field beside the river. The purpose of this study is to identify and map the vegetation density of the Krueng Aceh watershed using GIS in Montasik District. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach, using descriptive research methods. The data collection technique in this study was through documentation, namely data from Landsat 8 satellite imagery in 2020 and administrative maps. The results showed that the vegetation density level in the Krueng Aceh Lower Watershed in Montasik District was divided into four classes, namely very low density of 2%, low vegetation level of 5%, medium vegetation density of 9%, and high vegetation level of 84%. The level of vegetation density in the Krueng Aceh watershed, Montasik sub-district, is dominated by high vegetation of 84%, meaning that there is a lot of vegetation along the river, so that it can prevent ablation or erosion on the river surface. Because in dense vegetation the possibility of erosion will be smaller than the vegetation that grows sparsely. Keywords: Vegetation Density, Geographic Information System (GIS)

Population structures of Pyricularia oryzae Cavara in South Sulawesi

Blast disease caused by Pyricularia oryzae is one of the major rice diseases affecting rice output in Indonesia causing a 90% reduction in yield. This study aimed to determine the distribution of Pyricularia oryzae virulence pathotypes (races) in several South Sulawesi regencies. The P. oryzae races were determined in the Green House using 7 rice differential varieties: Asahan, Cisokan, IR 64, Krueng Aceh, Cisadane, Cisanggarung, and Kencana Bali. A total of 72 P. oryzae isolates from Maros, Gowa, Bone, and Pinrang Regencies were tested. The IRRI evaluation standard assessed the disease intensity seven days after inoculation. There were a total of 24 race compositions of P. oryzae were discovered based on the reactions of different rice varieties. However, only two races were dominant. Race 001 was dominant among Pinrang and Maros isolates, whereas race 020 was dominant in Bone and Gowa. Based on this result, monitoring of disease severity and the dynamics of P. oryzae population race structures is important for the breeding and rational distribution of resistant rice varieties.

Synthesis of Reduced Graphene Oxide Using Reducing Lime Juice (Citrus aurantifolia) and Its Application as Malachite Green Adsorbent in Aquatic Environments

The cytotoxicity of fishes resulting from the presence of various industrial dyes in industrial effluents is a significant global concern. This study aims to synthesize Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) using a natural reducing agent from lime juice. The synthesis process uses a modified Hummer method. The Langmuir and Freundlich Isothermal equations are used to study the adsorption character of MG using RGO. The adsorption kinetics was studied using first and second order equations. The adsorption capacity was measured with concentration 2, 10, 50, and 100 mg L-1 of MG respectively. The results obtained are for the adsorption isotherms following Langmuir and Freundlich. ΔG° shows a negative value which means the adsorption process is spontaneous. The adsorption kinetics follows the first order equation. The adsorption capacity obtained was Qm = 223.21 mg g−1 and a contact time of 20 minutes which made it a strong adsorbent for removing MG from water samples. The removal efficiency of MG by prepared adsorbents from real environmental water sample on the Ulee Lheue beach, Alue Naga beach, and the Krueng Aceh river has been implemented. The results obtained confirmed good work in the applicability of adsorbents for environmental

ASSESSMENT OF DROUGHT INDICES AND WATER AVAILABILITY USING STATISTICAL Z-SCORE AND MOCK MODEL

The phenomenon of drought and water scarcity due to climate change is a major problem in many countries. Assessing drought conditions and water availability in a watershed helps the government and communities implement sustainable watershed management. The study was conducted in Krueng Jreue Sub Watershed, Krueng Aceh Watershed, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The meteorological and hydrological indices in the watershed were analyzed using statistical Z-Score for Precipitation (ZSP) and Discharges (ZSD). Discharges originated from Mock model was used to examine the water availability in a watershed. The results showed the ZSP and ZSD indices from 2008 to 2017 were almost categorized as normal. In certain months, drought indices with the criteria of extreme wet (EW), very wet (VW), and severe drought (SD) also occurred. In general, the ZSP and ZSD indices were consistent, but for certain months (April 2008, November 2010, and March 2017) inconsistencies were found due to differences in signs and index classes. The Mock model parameters for the proportion of surface soil uncovered by vegetation (m), infiltration factor (IF), initial soil moisture (ISM), and flow reduction coefficient (Rc) were 20 %, 0.4, 200 mm month-1, and 0.6, respectively. The average monthly discharge during the period of 2008-2017 ranged from 3.16-31.18 m3s-1. The total water needs of 5.041 m3 s-1 per month. The water availability per month was surplus in the rainy season (October-April), but deficit in the dry season (May-September). This research not only contributes to enriching references for similar research in Krueng Aceh Watershed, Indonesia but can also be applied to other watersheds according to the current conditions of watershed characteristics.

Abundance and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella spp. isolated from aquatic environments in Banda Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract. Zahara Y, Suhartono S, Nirliana N. 2022. Abundance and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella spp. isolated from aquatic environments in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 6420-6427. Accumulating pathogenic bacteria in aquatic systems increases waterborne infections, including shigellosis. The infection is causatively associated with Shigella spp. within the water system. This study aimed to isolate and determine the abundance of Shigella spp. collected from three rivers in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, namely Krueng Lamnyong, Krueng Aceh, and Krueng Neng water, and their antibiotic susceptibility. The bacterial enumeration was conducted using the MPN method followed by bacterial isolation using XLD and SSA selective media, whereas antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated using the standards of CLSI. Results showed that there was no significant difference (p=0.059) in the bacterial abundance among rivers i.e., 4.67 MPN/mL in Krueng Lamnyong, 27.33 MPN/mL in Krueng Aceh, and 18.33 MPN/mL in Krueng Neng. In total, 19 isolates of Shigella spp. were isolated, of which four isolates were from Krueng Lamnyong, nine isolates from Krueng Aceh, and six isolates from Krueng Neng. Antibiotic susceptibility test showed that the isolates had resistance to tetracycline, penicillin, and nalidixic acid. More than half of the isolates were resistant to more than five antibiotic classes. The study indicates that rivers are the main reservoir for the transmission of pathogenic bacteria in aquatic systems and some efforts are needed to reduce potential health risks and ensure water quality in aquatic systems.

Monitoring of River Estuary Turbidity using Satellite Image Analysis and Its Correlation to Rainfall (A Case Study of the Krueng River in Aceh, Indonesia)

Activities along the Krueng Aceh river such as port activities, fisheries, ship breeding, tourist attractions, market activities and settlements cause a lot of domestic waste in the environment around the river and affect river clarity and increase the concentration of turbidity. High turbidity in rivers can affect the entry of light into the waters because light has an important role in the photosynthesis process. The method of monitoring water quality can be done by remote sensing because it has several advantages such as being able to carry out measurements on a larger scale for a long time, relatively quickly, and reducing the amount of costs incurred. Monitoring the Krueng Aceh River is carried out using remote sensing technology using Sentinel-2 imagery. This study aims to obtain the value of the distribution of turbidity by analyzing satellite imagery and its correlation with rainfall, and to determine the value of the distribution of turbidity, Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), and Power of Hydrogen (pH) in the Krueng Aceh River. The results showed that sentinel-2 image analysis got the lowest turbidity on September 6, 2021, which was -0.992424, and the highest on October 5, 2019 which was 0.248641. The distribution of water quality is known to have the highest turbidity concentration obtained at sampling location point 1, which was 107.9 NTU. The highest concentration of TSS was found at sampling locations 1, 4, and 7, which was 400 mg/l. The highest TDS concentration was found at point location 1, which was 1,413 mg/l. The pH concentration at the Krueng Aceh River sampling location has met the quality standards set in PP No. 82 of 2021

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the area and distribution of land cover in the last 10 years in the Krueng Aceh and evaluate the alignment between the regional spatial plan (RTRW) and the land cover in the Krueng Aceh watershed. The results of the analysis were obtained through digital image processing derived from Landsat 7 ETM 2009 and Landsat 8 OLI 2020. This study shows that land cover in the form of primary forest has changed from 2009 to 2020, wherein 2009 primary forest cover had an area of 60,245.62 ha or 34.11% of the entire area while in 2020 it was reduced to 48,512.00 ha or 27.47% of the entire area. And Based on the results of the evaluation of the consistency of land closure conditions in the Krueng Aceh watershed against the Aceh Provincial RTRW, 98.40% of the area of the Krueng Aceh watershed obtained land cover consistent with the RTRW. But Based on the results of the Evaluation of the Consistency of Area Status in the Krueng Aceh River Basin against the Aceh Province RTRW, it was found that an area of 176,301.71 ha or equal to 99.99 % of the area of the Krueng Aceh River Basin, the status of the Area was consistent with the RTRW.

UTILIZATION OF THE KRUENG ACEH RIVER BEDROOM POST SETUP ACCORDING TO AD-DAULAH MILK PERSPECTIVE

The Krueng Aceh Watershed (DAS) is one of the state assets managed by the Sumatra-I River Basin, so it is widely used by the surrounding community to meet the needs of life on the banks of the Krueng Aceh river. Management of land along the river is the main goal to anticipate in reducing the potential for flooding. Therefore, the author wants to examine in detail the process of riverbank land use carried out by the Krueng Barona Jaya community, forms of riverbank land use and their use according to the perspective of milk al-daulah. The method used in this study is a qualitative method through primary data obtained by direct field research using interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the process of using land along the Krueng Aceh river by the Krueng Baroena Jaya community after the Krueng Aceh river arrangement refers to the past law, namely customary law, so there is no administrative data recorded as evidence that they have permission to use the riverbanks. The forms of land use along the Krueng Aceh river that are carried out by the Krueng Barona Jaya community on riverbank land are by constructing buildings, opening culinary stalls, plantation land and livestock land. In terms of utilization carried out by the people of Krueng Barona Jaya in terms of buildings, the licensing process, and the forms of utilization, it is a violation that is contrary to the Regulation of the Minister of PUPR of the Republic of Indonesia Number 28/PRT/M/2015 Article 22 concerning Determination of River Border Lines and the concept of milk al-daula. Therefore, the government must immediately bring back the land along the Krueng Aceh banks so that its utilization is in accordance with the applicable provisions.

Magnetic susceptibilities of surface sediments from estuary rivers in volcanic regions.

Estuaries have very complex mechanisms because they are influenced by seawater intrusion, which causes enrichment of contaminants in the maximum turbidity area. Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been used for monitoring a wide variety of environments. However, there have been few studies of the magnetic properties of surface sediments from estuaries in volcanic environments in the tropics. This study investigates the magnetic properties and their correlations with the geochemistry of surface sediments in estuaries in volcanic areas and was conducted in the Krueng Aceh River, Indonesia. Measurements consist of magnetic susceptibility measurements, chemical analysis, and mineralogical analysis. Measurements of magnetic susceptibilities were performed using a Bartington MS2 instrument with an MS2B sensor using frequencies of 460 and 46kHz. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to identify elements in the sediments. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was used to analyze sediment grains. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to determine mineral contents. For the first time, χLF/χFD ratios were found to be an obvious parameter for identifying areas of sediment traps and metal enrichment in the estuary turbidity maxima (ETM) zone. The magnetic properties carried by volcanic rock minerals consist of pigeonite and enstatite. These two minerals have not been previously considered as carriers of sediments with magnetic properties when monitoring heavy metal enrichment in urban rivers. These results provide an extension of the use of magnetic susceptibility measurements in environmental studies, particularly in estuary river environments in volcanic areas such as the Krueng Aceh River, Indonesia.

Floating macro marine debris trends in the Banda Aceh estuary environment

Banda Aceh is a city at the western tip of Indonesia and is one of the provinces that has a coastal area that can contribute plastic waste to the sea. The source of plastic waste comes from land and human activities which are then carried through river mouths to end up in the sea. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of marine debris at the mouth of the Krueng Aceh River. Data collection is determined based on the time of the tide. The research was carried out using a boat mounted with a marine debris trap. The results showed that plastic waste dominated the mouth of the river by 90 percent, both during high and low tide conditions. There is a difference in the amount of waste that accumulates at high and low tide in the Krueng Aceh estuary.

Rearrangement of green open space along Krueng Aceh based on sustainable urban riverfront

One of the city government’s programs to upgrade the representation of Banda Aceh as a green city was to revitalize the open space of krueng Aceh riverbanks. However, such a work has been progressing slowly. Although some wide banks area have been processed into parks, but, some other areas especially those with narrow areas in sizes of the banks have not been upgraded. Currently, these areas, with less green, have been becoming slum where some illegal settlements occurred. In general, the area along Aceh riverbanks has not been design comprehensively, since there has insecure public accessibility, irregular park zoning, un functioned water tourism facilities, un proper waste management system, and un balanced socio-economic conditions in relation to local environmental conditions. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of green open space at the Krueng Aceh riverbanks, Banda Aceh City and formulate criteria for structuring Green Open Spaces based on Sustainable Urban Riverfront. This research uses descriptive qualitative research method. The research instrument used was interviews, field observations, literature studies. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner with data reduction analysis techniques, data presentation and conclusion. The results of this study are the design recommendations for Green Open Space (GOS) that apply the principles of sustainable urban riverfront. The development of the potential of the Krueng Aceh riverbank as a green open space is expected to be a sustainable landscape and able to support the function of the area from the ecological, social, and economic aspects.
