Shella Agustina

Abstract


Abstract: Pollution of the Ciwulan River by garbage has become a heavy burden for the public health system and ecosystem in Tasikmalaya Regency. This study aims to evaluate the impact of waste pollution on the water quality of the Ciwulan River and public health in Neglasari Village. The results of the study show that the level of waste pollution is quite high, mainly caused by domestic waste and lack of public awareness. This condition has an impact on decreasing water quality and increasing the risk of disease for people who rely on rivers as a source of water. To overcome this problem, comprehensive efforts are needed, such as increasing public awareness, improving the waste management system, and stricter law enforcement.

 

Keywords: River pollution, garbage, public health.
