Abstract
This research aimed to examine the water quality of the Komering River Kayuagung city based on physical and chemical parameters. The research was conducted from May - June 2021. Water sampling was carried out by purposive sampling by determining 4 observation stations, namely little human activity areas (station 1), sand mining areas (station 2), human activity areas (station 3) and fish farming in cages areas (station 4). Sampling was carried out by several parameters measured i.e. temperature, transparency, current velocity, TDS, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and BOD. The measurement results were then compared with the criteria for Class I river water quality standards according to the South Sumatra Governor Regulation No. 16 of 2005. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the temperature, TDS, BOD generally stiil in the first, second and third class water quality standards. pH and DO values are exceed the first class quality standards.
