Abstract

The research aimed to monitor surface water quality by using water quality index NSF-WQI and accurate biotic index of benthic macroinvertebrate. This study was conducted in September to November 2012 in some water tourism destinations in three regencies, i.e. Jember (three sites), Pasuruan (one site), and Malang (one site), East Java, Indonesia. Each site consisted of three stations (upstream, middlestream and downstream). Reference upstream and middlestream were located in the Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) Jember. Water quality and benthic macroinvertebrates sampling were conducted in each site. While physical-chemical data consisted of TDS, DO, pH, NO3-N, TP and temperature were analyzed to determine the NSF-WQI index. Macrozoobenthic data were analyzed to determine three diversity indices and 11 biotic indices. Results showed that based on parameter of DO, TP, NO3-N, TDS and pH, water quality in downstreams were generally lower than upstreams. Upstream to middlestreams of two sites in Jember were good to excellent based on NSF-WQI water quality and biotic indices. Therefore, the water were qualified as drinking water resources and also served as safe recreational water. The accurate biotic indices to surface water quality in this study were % EPT, ASPT, HBI, FBI and % Gastropodes.Keywords: biotic indices, benthic macroinvertebrates, water quality index, water tourisms destination

Abstract

Tourism activity in Trisula waterfall (locally called Coban Trisula) is growing significantly. The environmental management is important to perform the sustainable use of waterfall as tourism attraction. The aim of the research is to identify the ecosystem services of Trisula waterfall. In this study, three indices were calculated, namely Environmental Services Index, Hemeroby Index, and Naturalness index. This study found that the use of lands and natural resources in Trisula waterfall was low compared the upper and lower area. Lower and upper area was used for intensive agriculture and daily needs by local community. Those activities were influencing the environmental services of Trisula waterfall. Management towards sustainable use of Coban Trisula area was required. It is also important and should be able to promote security and satisfaction aspects for tourist. Anthropogenic activities such as plantation activities should be controlled by a persuasive approach to minimize disruption to the ecosystem. There are needs for environmental management to ensure the sustainability use of waterfall resources and its surrounding area.Keywords: sustainable tourism, waterfall management, water conservation.

Abstract

This aims of this study are to determine the macrobenthic community structure between the drainage near residence and spring; and to determine effect of local environment on macrobenthic community structure at the Ngenep village. Field study was conducted in 3 drainage, i.e. residential drainage, spring and rice field irrigation. Macrobenthic were sampled by the surber net and hand net in three stations in each drainages. Abiotic factors were assessed at the same stations. Macrobenthic community structure and diversity was determined using Important value index, Shannon-Wiener index and Bray Curtis index. Cluster of benthics and abiotic factors were analysis using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Abiotic data showed no statistical significance in 3 drainage (P>0.05) but showed increasing trend from spring to field irrigation and the highest at residential drainage. The 17 taxa of macrobenthic were found with high important value index are Melanoides tuberculata, larva's of Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera. Highest Shannon-Wiener index observed at irrigation (2.781). The cluster analysis of abiotic factor showed that spring was in different cluster with residential and irrigation, meanwhile, PCA analysis of macrobenthic showed each place was different cluster. Conclusion of this study is anthropogenic activities alter the diversity and community structure of macrobenthic. Keywords: Anthropogenic Activity, Macrobenthic, Ngenep.
