Abstract

The University of Indonesia is committed to monitoring and evaluating environmental quality as part of its environmental quality monitoring and evaluation program. The University of Indonesia Depok Campus area has six lakes with names of Kenanga, Agathis, Mahoni, Puspa, Ulin, and Salam (KAMPUS), which are monitored by water quality every semester. Lake water quality data are generally only compared to regulations and provide information on parameters that have exceeded National environmental quality standards but do not provide information on the status of water quality. The Nemerow and Sumitomo’s Pollution Index is an index used to determine the level of pollution relative to permitted water quality parameters. Pollution Index (IP) is determined for an allotment, and then it can be developed for several allotments for all parts of a body of water or a portion of a river. Based on the assessment of water quality from measurement data from 2017 to 2019, it was found that Aghatis and Salam Lake have met quality standards with PI values of 0.74 and 0.7. Lake of Kenanga, Mahoni, Ulin and Puspa are lightly polluted with PI values of 4.48, 2.57, 3.19 and 4.25.
