Abstract:
Natural resources management that are not environmentally friendly lead to unsustainable resource utilization. It cause there is no guarantee for natural resources can be developed to satisfy the needs of life in the future. During this time, Bili-Bili reservoir has an important role as a source of raw water to people in Gowa Regency and surrounding areas. The development of human activities along the Jeneberang river as the main river in the watershed such as agricultural activities, settlements, tourism, and sand quarrying, trigger changes in river water quality that have an impact on water quality in the Bili-Bili reservoir. Based on the problems it is important to analyze the water quality of the reservoir, and determined of water quality status based on the applicable water quality standards and Minister of Environment Decree No. 115 of 2003. The development of activities in Jeneberang watershed were become factors that trigger changes in water quality. Spatial analysis was conducted to determine the distribution of activity that could potentially contaminate the water. Through two analyzes are expected to be the basis for the formulation of recommendations in Jeneberang watershed environmental management, especially in Bili-Bili reservoir. Water quality status of Jeneberang watershed showed that all water samples were in moderately polluted. It happened because some exceed value of the water quality parameter, such as TSS, Ammonia, Nitrate, phosphate, and oil content. human activities arround the study area showed that the contamination came from household activity, agriculture, sand quarrying, and also tourism waste.
