Abstract
Situ Cipondoh has a 126.17 Ha located in the city of Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia. Increasing the amount of activity around Situ Cipondoh will affect the water quality. Situ Cipondoh water is used as a raw source for Tirta Benteng Regional Water Company, Tangerang City. Settlements and other activities around the Cipondoh Situ have not been completed with a communal Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) to process the gray water. While generally the population already has a septic tank. The purpose of this study is to measure the water quality of Situ Cipondoh. Water sampling is carried out at 9 points with 3 different times. The parameters will be measured using the NSF-WQI method consiting of 9 physical, chemical and biological parameters. The results of the study showed that Situ Cipondoh was moderately polluted. Cipondoh Situ is one of the sites that are conserved and become tourist targets. For this reason, it must be strengthened by conservation regulations according to their ecological function and improvement of water quality by reducing the load of wastewater by implementing communal WWTP.
