Water is a material that can not be separated from the life activities of living things on earth. One of the water resources that gets the most attention and the most needed is ground water. Ground water is a hydrological cycle that involves several aspects such as bio-geo-physical and socio-cultural. Heavy metals are pollutants that are most often found in water. This heavy metal has a negative impact on humans who use the water and organisms that are in the water. The purpose of this study was to analyze the content of heavy metals contained in ground water in the District of Kubu Babussalam, Rokan Hilir, Riau. Sampling using random sampling technique. Ground water in Kubu Babussalam Subdistrict has been contaminated by heavy metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr). The Pb content contained in ground water ranges from 0,01-0,06 mg/L, Fe ranges from 1,3-2,2 mg/L while the content of the other three metals still very little and were carried under the LOQ value of the measuring instrument used. Based on Permenkes 416/MEN.KES/PER/IX/1990, there was one sample point that had Pb metal content above the quality standard, and there were seven sample points that had Fe metal content above the quality standard.
