Abstract

The Batanghari River plays an important role for the lives of people and ecosystems in Jambi Province, but is subject to pollution pressure from various anthropogenic activities. This study aims to analyze the temporal dynamics of the Batanghari River water quality based on the parameters of total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), heavy metals, and coliforms during 2020–2025. The study used a retrospective quantitative design with secondary data from monitoring in the upstream and downstream segments of Batanghari Bridge 2, Sijenjang Village, Jambi City. The parameters analyzed included TSS, BOD, COD, chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), fecal coliform, and total coliform. Data were analyzed descriptively, compared with class II water quality standards, and tested using Mann-Kendall and Sen’s Slope based on the annual average. The results showed large fluctuations in water quality without a statistically significant monotonic trend (p>0.05). Nevertheless, BOD, COD, Cr, and Zn had positive Sen's Slope estimates. TSS concentrations reached 322 mg/L, BOD 20.74 mg/L, COD 109.50 mg/L, Cr 0.425 mg/L, Cu 0.69 mg/L, and Zn 3.05 mg/L. Fecal coliform and total coliform concentrations reached 27,000 and 54,000 MPN/100 mL, respectively. Repeated exceedances of quality standards indicate persistent pollution pressure, particularly from suspended solids, organic matter, Cu, Cr, Zn, and microbiological contamination. These findings emphasize the need for routine monitoring, domestic waste control, and monitoring of pollution sources around the Batanghari River watershed.
