Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Saguling Reservoir Water West Java Province Indonesia

Abstract

Saguling reservoir in West Java Province is becoming increasingly polluted by heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of four heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb concentration at Saguling Reservoir at '2 sampling location. Water samples were collected during rainy and summer 2008-2017 to determine the spatial distribution seasonal and temporal variation of different heavy metal contents. Mean metals concentrations in summer seasons were Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb higher than rainy season. Mean concentration of Cd, Cu, Cr, and Pb in water samples were accordance water quality standard in both season. Heavy metal pollution that occurs in the Saguling reservoir must be monitored because this reservoir is planned to be a source of raw water for Bandung City.
