The Citarum River in West Java is the largest water supplier to the Saguling Dam, which plays a major role in electric power generation for the entire Java Island and is used for the aquaculture of marketed fish. To elucidate the extent of degradation in water quality and its causes in the Upper Citarum watershed, physical, chemical and biological parameters for water samples collected from various sites were analyzed. The results demonstrate large site-to-site variations in water qualities and pollutant loads derived from various human activities such as agriculture, cattle raising and the textile industry. To halt worsening conditions of the Citarum watershed, integrated mitigation efforts should be made, taking biophysical pollution mechanisms and local socioeconomic conditions into account.
西爪哇省的芝塔龙河是萨古林大坝最大的水源地，该大坝在为整个爪哇岛发电方面发挥着重要作用，并且用于养殖供市场销售的鱼类。为了阐明芝塔龙河上游流域水质恶化的程度及其成因，对从各个地点采集的水样的物理、化学和生物学参数进行了分析。结果表明，水质以及来自农业、养牛业和纺织业等各种人类活动的污染物负荷在不同地点之间存在很大差异。为了阻止芝塔龙河流域状况的恶化，应综合采取缓解措施，同时考虑生物物理污染机制和当地社会经济状况。
