ABSTRAK : Penentuan status mutu perairan perlu dilakukan sebagai acuan dalam melakukan pemantauan pencemaran kualitas air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pencemaran melalui nilai Indeks Pencemaran (IP) di perairan Muara Sungai Jodoh, Kota Batam. Lokasi pengambilan sampel berdasarkan metode purposive sampling di tujuh stasiun pada perairan Muara Sungai Jodoh Kelurahan Tanjung Uma Kota Batam. Parameter yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu suhu, TSS, pH, DO, BOD, salinitas, dan bakteri coliform. Sebagai pembanding, digunakan baku mutu air laut untuk biota laut berdasarkan KEPMEN LH No.51 Tahun 2004. Perhitungan nilai IP dilakukan mengacu pada Keputusan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup Nomor 115 Tahun 2003 Tentang Penentuan Status Mutu Air. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa perairan muara Sungai Jodoh Kelurahan Tanjung Uma Kota Batam pada saat pasang maupun surut kualitas perairan tergolong tercemar ringan. ABSTRACT : The determination of water quality status needs to be done as a reference to monitor water pollution. This study aimed to determine the level of pollutions through the level of Index Pollution (IP) in Jodoh River estuary, Tanjung Uma, Batam City . The location of sampling based on purposive sampling method of seven station in the waters of Jodoh River, Tanjung Uma, Batam City. Physical chemichal parameters used in this study were temperature, TSS, pH, DO, BOD, salinity and coliform bacteria. The water quality results were compared with water quality standards based on KEPMEN LH No.51 2004 for marine biotas. IP calculation was reference to the Minister of Environment No.115 2003 concerning on determination of water quality status. Based on the results of this study showed the estuary waters in the Jodoh River, Tanjung Uma, Batam City, when at high and low tide the water quality were slightly polluted.
