Assessing the Impact of Agriculture on Water Quality in the Brantas Catchment

In this study, the relationship between water quality and agriculture in the upstream region of the Brantas catchment has been investigated, with a focus on Electric Conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH, nitrate, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), phosphate and ammonia concentrations. The EC concentrations ranged from 120 to 570 μS/cm, the...

Testing linear regression to predict the influence of macro-scale parameters on micr-scale water quality parameters

This study investigates the connection between macro-scale parameters (MSP) and micro-scale water quality parameters (MSWQP) in the Brantas River, employing a multivariate linear regression (MLR) modelling approach. The analysis reveals several critical insights into the complex dynamics of water quality in this river system.<br/><br/>Key...

Water Quality Measurements in the Brantas, Indonesia: Constructing Different Perspectives with Principal Component Analysis

The water quality of the Brantas river in Indonesia is of concern to several agencies on East Java. These agencies all measure its water quality in their own way in terms of locations, rhythms and parameters. The goal of this thesis is to find out if these agencies measure the same and if not, how these measurements differ. From these...

Estimating Total Suspended Matter in Low to Extremely High Level Turbid River Surface Waters using a WISP-3 Hyperspectral Radiometer and Sentinel-2 Optical Imagery: A case study conducted on the Brantas River Basin, East-Java, Indonesia

This research focuses on using Sentinel-2 optical imagery to provide a means of high-resolution monitoring and evaluation of changes in Total Suspended Matter (TSM) concentration in the Brantas river basin. In situ spectral measurements as well as laboratory results show an extremely turbid nature of the Brantas River surface water. Current...
