Analysis of Water Quality Based on Coliform Bacteria Parameters in Springs of Sumberbening Village, Malang District

Abstract

Clean water and free from pathogenic bacteria is the most important requirement to meet sanitation and hygiene needs and meet drinking needs. Most of the 3 springs in Sumberbening Village, Malang Regency, are mostly used by local communities and animals around protected forests. This research objective was to determine the quality of water based on the number of Coliform bacteria contamination and physical parameters to support the testing of 3 springs in Sumberbening Village, Malang Regency. This research was conducted in Kedung Trubus, Sendang Ngentup, and Sumber Trubus using descriptive exploratory methods. The results showed that all the springs were contaminated with Coliform bacteria with the highest total Coliform value in the Sendang Ngentup spring of 58.3 colonies / 100ml, while the highest fecal Coliform was found in Kedung Trubus spring 10.7 colonies / 100ml. The utilization of water in 3 springs to meet the drinking needs to be processed first. The physical parameters of Odor and Color indicate that all springs are odorless and colorless. The physical parameters of TDS show that only the spring water does not meet the quality standards of drinking water PERMENKES No. 492 of 2010 with a value exceeding 500mg / l. All springs based on the physical parameters of TDS meet the clean water requirements based on the clean water quality standard PERMENKES No. 32 of 2017 with a value <1000mg /l.
