Abstract
Land use change is one of the effects of population growth and increased human activities. Land use change that overlooked the rule of ecosystem sustainability has a propensity to adversely affectthe environment, including the decline of water quality. Kali Madiun is a sub-watershed of Bengawan Solo Watershed that allegedly endured the impacts of land use change. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of land use change on the water quality index of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed. Land use change analysis was done by overlay analysis of spatial data including the maps of land use in 2010 and 2015. Samples were the surface water in the upper, middle and lower part of Kali Madiun Sub-Watershed. Water quality analysis was carried out by comparing the results of water quality parameter assessment based on Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001,while water quality index was figured out by an assessment based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 115 of 2003. The results indicated that during the five years observation, there were land use changes in the upper, middle and lower part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed. Several parameters increased in 2010 to 2015, namely: TDS, BOD, COD, detergents, oils and greases. Pollution index shifted from slightly polluted in 2010 into moderately polluted in 2015.We propose a strategy to solve these problems by the involvement of stakeholders and the participation of local community in managing both domestic and industrial wastes.Also, it should be supported by palpable regulations related to land conversion. Furthermore, it is expected that the effort will reduce the potential of pollution and improve the water quality.

Abstrak
Perubahan penggunaan lahan merupakan salah satu akibat dari meningkatnya jumlah penduduk dan aktivitas yang dilakukan. Alih fungsi lahan yang kurang mengindahkan kaidah kelestarian akan berdampak negatif terhadap lingkungan, salah satunya adalah menurunnya kualitas air. Salah satu Sub DAS yang mengalami perubahan penggunaan lahan adalah Sub DAS Kali Madiun yang merupakan bagian dari DAS Bengawan Solo. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui dampak perubahan penggunaan lahan terhadap indeks pencemaran kualitas air di Sub DAS Kali Madiun. Analisis perubahan penggunaan lahan dilakukan dengan overlay peta penggunaan lahan tahun 2010 dan tahun 2015. Sampel air yang diamati adalah air permukaan yang berada pada 3 titik yaitu hulu, tengah dan hilir. Analisis kualitas air dilakukan dengan membandingkan hasil pengukuran parameter kualitas air dengan Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) No. 82 tahun , sedangkan Indeks Pencemaran air diketahui dengan melakukan penghitungan berdasarkan Keputusan Menteri Negara Lingkungan Hidup No. 115 tahun 2003. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa selama 5 tahun pengamatan, terdapat perubahan penggunaan lahan, baik di bagian hulu, tengah maupun hilir. Terdapat beberapa paremeter yang mengalami peningkatan dari tahun 2010 ke tahun 2015 diantaranya TDS, BOD, COD, nitrit, detergen, serta minyak dan lemak. Indeks Pencemaran diketahui mengamai peningkatan dari kelas tercemar ringan pada tahun 2010 menjadi tercemar sedang pada tahun 2015. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut diperlukan strategi melalui kerjasama antar stakeholders dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam mengelola limbah domestik dan industri. Hal tersebut perlu didukung dengan peraturan atau regulasi yang jelas terkait alih fungsi lahan, dan diharapkan dapat membantu menurunkan potensi pencemaran serta meningkatkan kualitas air.

Introduction
Watershed
is an area of land which is a unity with the river and its tributaries that
serve to accommodate, store, and drain water originating from rainfall to the
lake or the sea naturally. It is bordered by topographical boundary and on the
ocean, by the water area that is still affected by terrestrial activities (Setneg RI, 2012). Watershed is an ecosystem where there are a variety of natural resource components
which interact each other. One of the natural
resources in the watershed are land resources. Land is the physical environment that consists of climate, soil,
relief, water, and vegetation as well as above ground objects and has influence on land use (Arsyad,
2000).
The condition of land in watershed is degraded as the consequence of over intensive
and exploitative land utilisation. Moreover,
the level of population growth is linear to the higher level of marginal land area, thus, watershed’s carrying capacity is declined (Kementerian Kehutanan, 2009). Land use change is defined as
a shifting or change of a function of land into other functions, whether
temporary or permanent, due to the dynamic within a society (Winoto et al.,
1996). Similar to a study by Hanjani et al. (2015),
land use change is a form of human intervention on the environment to fulfil
human’s life requirements, both material and spiritual. Rapid population growth
is essentially proportional to the need
for land (Brueckner, 2000). However, land use that
neglects the sustainability rule will only adversely affect quality of
life regarding the environment. According to Lambin et al. (2001), land use that ignores the environmental rules will cause land degradation such as erosion,
sedimentation, floods, landslides, and other damages of natural resources. It
shows that land use change is a form of land exploitation. This land
exploitation for settlement, industry, and other land functions, gives further
burden on land in addition to the potential of pollution and environmental degradation.
Other case based on Ramlan et al. (2015), the increase of
population leads to an increase of land use for agricultural sectors. As a
result, the amount of land for preservation zones significantly decreases
because of the continuous increase of land
change for agricultural activities. The change of land use has effects on
society, particularly in the dry season where soil water availability is
limited.
One
of the indicators of appropriate watershed management is the sustainability of the quantity, quality,
and continuity of watershed’s water resources. Surya et al. (2014) emphasised the population growth in a
watershed area will affect land use and will ultimately influence the
hydrological system of a watershed. Likewise, Rahman et al. (2014) asserted that conversion
and proportion of land use would significantly
affect the water quality. Water pollution is a consequence of land conversion
that gives less attention to the aspects of environmental sustainability. The more activities are undertaken by humans, the higher amount of wastes is generated by those
activities. Those wastes will
cause a decline in surface water quality
and disrupt the ecosystem of water body (Pasisingi et al., 2014). Water quality and quantity is one of the most
important requirements in the health and live
of all living beings (Krisnawati et al., 2015). The decline in water quality is a condition
where water cannot be utilised in accordance with the status of water quality
(Ali et al., 2013).
Extended area for settlement
in a watershed area, both in the upper, middle, lower part, will escalate the
potential for water pollution due to generated domestic wastes. Uncontrolled land
use change in the upstream will
eventually affect the water quality of the midstream and downstream. Similarly,
Suswati and Wibisono (2013) in a study claimed that the
population growth causes surface water pollution, particularly on river water
due to limited sanitary and domestic wastes management. The shortage of domestic waste management and prevailing human behaviour indirectly disposing of both organic and inorganic wastes
as well as solid and liquid wastes into
water bodies, have increased water
pollution level and degraded the water
quality.
Kali Madiun Sub-watershed
is part of the Bengawan Solo Watershed that endured land use change from time to time. The conversions might
result in the shift of surface water quality, therefore,
it was important to determine the surface water quality, thus, the community and
policy makers could initiate appropriate actions in order to maintain and improve the water quality in the area.
This study aimed to investigate the impacts of land use change on water quality and pollution index in Kali Madiun Sub-watershed.
Research Method
Study Area
This study was carried
out in 2016 in Kali Madiun subwatershed,
which is part of the Bengawan Solo Watershed. The
total area of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed is approximately 371591.54 ha.
Geographically, Solo watershed lies between 7o21’ – 8o50’
S and 110o10’-110o26’ E. Administratively, Kali Madiun Sub-watershed
includes 11 districts, namely, Bojonegoro, Karanganyar, Madiun City, Madiun,
Magetan, Ngawi, Pacitan, Ponorogo, Trenggalek,
and Wonogiri. The topographic boundaries of Kali Madiun Sub-Watershed are, North: Ngale
Sub-watershed and Padas Sub-watershed, East: BrantasWatershed, South: Pringombo
Watershed and Grindulu Watershed, West: Samin
Sub-watershed and Mungkung Sub-watershed. Total area of potential critical
to very critical in Kali Madiun Sub-watershed was 30.88% (BPDAS
Solo, 2012). The types of soil that dominate the area are Mediterranean, grumosol, alluvial, and litosol. Study area can be observed
in Figure 1.
Materials and
Tools
Materials
used in this study consisted of the maps of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed, RBI map
scale 1:25000, Landsat 7 imagery of 2010 and Landsat 8 imagery of 2015 with Path/Row
119/65, Coordinates of sample collection area, monthly water quality data in
2010 and 2015 were carried out in the three sections of river, namely in Sekayu
station, A Yani station, and Ketonggo station in the upper, middle, and lower
part of Kali Madiun Sub-Watershed (Figure 1) and daily precipitation of 15
stations in 2010 and 2015 obtained from Balai
Besar Wilayah Sungai Bengawan Solo.
Research
Procedure
Analysis of land
use change was done by overlay technique on spatial data analysis result,
including the maps of land use in 2010 and 2015. Band combination used three
wavelengths performed by basic colours of red, green, and blue. This research
used composite colour for Landsat ETM 7+
image as the combination of band 5 4 3, while the band combination for Landsat 8 image was band
6 5 4. Image interpretation and classification were
conducted by using supervised classification. Land use change on the
map of land use spatial analysis was done
by combining three waves that displayed basic
colours of red, green and blue.The
results generated from this analysis were the type, width, and pattern of land
use change in Kali Madiun Sub-watershed.

Water quality analysis was conducted in the dry season by an assumption that the concentration of pollutants would be higher because there is no leaching of rainwater. The starts of the dry season and rainy season of the observed years were determined by rainfall data analysis based on BMKG criteria. The period was considered as the rainy season when the rainfall was ≥50 mm and considered as the dry season when the rainfall was ˂50 mm.The results of the water quality analysis in each observed seasons were assessed based on Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 on Management of Water Quality and Control over Water Pollution on Pollution in Class I, II, III, and IV to find out the limiting factors. Water pollution index at each section was calculated based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 115 of 2003 on Guidelines for Determination of Water Quality Status by using a formula as follows:
where:
Lij = Concentration of water quality parameter
based on the water quality standard for a designation (j).
Ci = Concentration of water quality
parameter resulted from survey.
PIj = Pollution Index for a designation (j).
(Ci/Lij)M = Maximum value of Ci/Lij.
(Ci/Lij)R = Average value of Ci/Lij.
Evaluation of
water Pollution Index was based on the result
of calculation, which was classified into
four classes (Table 1).

In accordance to Table 2, land use
change occurred in the last five years. In the upper part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed,
the area of shrub was reduced by 35.69 ha, irrigated field by 93.26 ha, rainfed
agriculture by 121.71, and dryland agriculture by 40.43ha. Extended area changed into settlement area was 291.00
ha. In the middle part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed, the land use change significantly took place.It was indicated by the change of each former land function in the middle part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed. The changes included the
extent of freshwater (26.24 ha), settlement (218.02 ha), irrigated field (92.10
ha), rainfed agriculture (115.37 ha), rocky area (1.45 ha), and dryland agriculture (121.13 ha). Meanwhile, declined
total area was undergone by shrub (306.15
ha), forest (102.40 ha), plantation (122.11 ha), and pasture (43.65 ha). In the
lower part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed, the extents were obtained by forest (42.12 ha), settlement (164.22 ha), irrigated
field (2.14 ha), and rocky area (1.18 ha). Declined total area in the lower part
of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed occurred in shrub
(0.07 ha), plantation (50.79 ha), pasture (10.37 ha), rainfed agriculture (6.42
ha), and dryland agriculture (142.02 ha).
Land use change in the upstream, midstream, and
downstream will lead to a change in water quality. Also, the shift of productive into non-productive land will also
affect the quality of surface water. It indicates the potential of human
activities in enhancing the volume of produced wastes, which eventually augment
the potential of surface water contamination. According to Yu et al., (2013), the nature and human activities have effects on
water quality. Inappropriate land
function would adversely affect the water quality.
Land use change in the upstream, midstream, and
downstream might also indicate the changes of local community’s activities in
the last five years. The largest land conversion was settlement type. In the upper
of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed, land use change from irrigated fields, dryland
agriculture, and rainfed agriculture into settlements amounted to 291.08 ha. In the middle, there was total conversion of 218.02 ha from plantation, pasture, irrigated field, rainfed
agriculture, and dryland agriculture. Meanwhile in the lower, there was an addition
of 164.22 ha from plantation, rainfed
agriculture, and dryland agriculture into settlement.
According to Widyastuti and Suprayogi (2006),
Gajahwong Watershed is mostly covered by settlement and paddy field.So, the land use
in the study area has higher vulnerability level. It is assumed that the
larger of the settlement tends to produce
more domestic waste.
Nevertheless, there was a conversion of plantation into
forest in the upper part of Kali Madiun
Sub-watershed of 42.12 ha. It was allegedly due to the undisturbed plantation where
young crops could grow and develop properly,
hence, the area successfully turned into a forest. It was highly expected that this forest could
balance the land use change into settlement
to obtain a final result of better water quality. It was confirmed by Ozturk et al.,
(2013), that the conversion and dynamics of land use
have significant impact on the
hydrological status of a watershed. Hydrological condition represents the
stable quantity in addition to well-maintained water quality.
Surface Water
Quality
The quality of
water surface collected in the dry season at the upper, middle, and lower part
of sub-watershed in 2010 and 2015, showed differences. The average of water
quality in the Kali Madiun Sub-watershed is
presented in Table 3.

Table 3 showed the
results of observation in which several parameters were classified as below the lowest quality standards (Class IV). It
indicated the existence of limiting factors that
hindered the water to meet the required quality
standard. Parameters of nitrate
and phosphate decreased, which were in Class
III and IV, respectively. On the contrary to those parameters, there were six other parameters that increased
from year to year. Despite TDS had
fulfilled the quality standard, it gained significant
increase in 2010 to 2015, both in the upstream, midstream,
and downstream. Similarly, COD also increased and classified into Class II.
Oils and greases, BOD, and detergents only met the standard of Class IV and they endured extreme increases during
the five years of observation. However, nitrite was the only parameter that did
not meet the standard of the entire classes.
The conditions of
TDS, nitrate, COD, BOD, detergents, as
well as oils and greases could not be separated from the impact of land use change
into settlement
(Table 2). Increased content of TDS was in linear with the
higher numbers of settlement in the upstream, midstream, and downstream. Rahman
et al., (2014)
asserted an increase of land use in the form of settlement
potentially escalated TDS content. Likewise, an increase in nitrite content
would occur. Ida (2009) and Aswadi (2006)
suggested that nitrite in water bodies was caused
by industrial and domestic wastes.
BOD and COD that
were likely to enhance from 2010 to 2015 indicated the presence of pollution.
Nugroho and Cahyorini (2007) claimed that the higher
the BOD content, the higher the potential of pollution.
Detergent pollution occurred particularly in the middle part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed
showed high domestic activity, in accordance
with the number of settlement,
which was higher than the upper and lower
area. Detergent residues flowing into the water bodies caused siltation, inhibited oxygen transfer that disrupted
aerobic decomposition process (Sopiah, 2004). It
triggered the higher content of BOD and COD in the water since it slowed down the decomposition of wastes and garbage.
Water Quality
Pollution Index
Water quality
pollution index is used to determine the relative contamination level on the
required water quality parameters (Ali et al, 2013).
In Kali Madiun Sub-watershed, it was assessed based on the water quality
analysis in the dry season in 2010 and 2015. The result of the analysis of
water quality index in Kali Madiun Sub-watershed is presented in Table 4.

Source: Data analysis, 2016. Description: SC:
Slightly polluted; MC: Moderately polluted.
In Table 4, the
entire sections of Kali Madiun Sub-Watershed
did not meet quality standard, either in Class
I, II, III, or IV (PI was less than 1.00). Moreover, the pollution index showed
an increase from 2010 to 2015. All of the classes could be categorised into slightly polluted in 2015. In the upper Kali
Madiun Sub-watershed, the entire standards of Class I, II, III and IV were included in slightly polluted with a range from 1.80 (Class IV) to
2.98 (Class I), in 2010. However, the condition changed in 2015 where all Pollution
Index could be enrolled in moderately polluted
group at various class’standards of 6.68 (Class IV) to 6.85 (Class I).
Land use change in
the upper part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed from various land uses into a settlement
of 291.08 ha and paddy field triggered higher
amount of pollutant in the area. In addition to higher
amount of domestic wastes, there were agricultural
wastes and fertiliser residues. It was different
with the finding in the middle of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed where most of the PI
could be classified as moderately polluted.
In fact, it obtained the highest score in compared with the upper and lower area due to the largest settlement area was
located in the middle of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed, both in 2010 and 2015
(Table 2).
An
increase of PI score in 2015 was prompted by land use change into settlement,
which potentially increased pollution and furthermore could not meet the quality
standard of the entire class based on Government
Regulation No. 82 of 2001 on Water Quality Management and Control over Water
Pollution.
In 2010, the PI
score of the lower Kali Madiun Sub-watershed was
in the range of 2.18 for Class IV to 3.04 for Class I and categorised as slightly polluted. However, in
2015, the PI also increased similarly with conditions in the upper and middle. It
was also mainly stimulated by land conversion into settlement. Nevertheless, the PI of the lower part of Kali Madiun
Sub-watershed was lower than those of the upper and middle area in the same year
and class (Moderately polluted). It was allegedly due to the number of
settlement in this area was lower than those in the upper and middle, in which forest
was capable of lowering the PI in this area as well as the leaching of pollutants before
water reached the lower area. In overall,
the increase of PI from 2010 to 2015 indicated that pollution-enhanced and appropriate management is required,
immediately.
Recommendation
for Pollution Control
Investigation of
pollution status in Kali Madiun Sub-watershed found out the increase of PI from
year to year. Solution and strategy are required to inhibit the escalated pollution
level. Several measures for pollution control are
recommended as follows:
1.
Regulation
concerning the change of land use is required,
particularly conversion into settlement and industry.
2.
Domestic and
industrial wastes should be managed properly before
their release into water bodies, including the ban on direct disposal of both organic and
inorganic wastes into water bodies.
3.
Cooperation
among stakeholders in addressing the pollution issue is required.
4.
It is
necessary to maintain and organise
vegetation in adjacent to watershed or basin as a conservation effort.
5. The role and participation of the society
particularly the local community is important in
order to protect the environment and to reduce the pollution.
Conclusions
It can be concluded from this study, that the land use change in 2010 to 2015 at Kali Madiun Sub-watershed adversely
affected the surface water quality and increased the pollution index of the
upper, middle, and lower part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed. Extended settlement
area led to higher number of direct actions
that automatically increased the amount of
pollutant. Inappropriate management of domestic waste would create new
pollution problems. Afforestation and appropriate pollutant management are highly
recommended to reduce the level of Pollution Index.
