This paper analyzes the river’s carrying and load capacity using the QUAL2Kw model approach. The river is located in Bengkalis Regency, Bukit Batu District. Modeling simulations were done with by using a scenario to determine the burden of pollution that occurs. This study consists of 10 survey points. The results of the water quality were compared to the indicators with the class II quality standards which are set by the government regulations. The results of this study shows that the Bukit Batu River needs to reduce pollution loads by more than 70%. However the land carrying capacity is in the surplus category, thus it shows the availability of land in the Bukit Batu sub-district’s sufficiencyt to meet the needs for agriculture production.
