The Cisadane watershed is one of the 15 priority watersheds. Research on activities that cause pollution in the Cisadane River is analyzed to determine its effect on sea water quality. This research was conducted from December 2019 to March 2020 at the mouth of the Cisadane River located in Teluk Naga District, Tangerang Regency. The method used is the identification of pollutant sources and analyzed descriptively.

According to BPS data in 2018 totaling 167,058 people with a growth rate of 5.13% per year. The domestic pollutant load can be identified through the multiplication of wastewater discharges with the concentration of the BOD value of domestic wastes. The results of the pollutant load of 2,823 kg/day entering the Cisadane River body every day. The poor water quality of the Cisadane River, it can reduce the quality of sea water around the mouth of the Cisadane River, which is the waters of the North Coast of Tangerang Regency, which can disrupt the sustainability of the sea underwater ecosystem
