Improving Water Quality Through the Collaboration of BrantaSae, RIVER, and Citizen Science in River Cleaning Actions
Researchers documented a community-based river cleanup initiative in Indonesia that combined citizen science with systematic waste categorization. Analysis of collected waste revealed that plastic was the predominant material, with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) being the most common polymer type. The study underscores the value of community engagement in both environmental cleanup and generating scientific data about the scale of plastic pollution in waterways.
Affecting Factors on Community Based Mangrove Replantation Programs in Semarang Coastal Area
This study examined community-based mangrove replanting programs in Semarang, Indonesia, exploring how climate change and stakeholder dynamics affect participation. It is an environmental management study not focused on microplastics.
Empowering Local Communities to Help Solve Plastic Waste Through Education and Recycling Solution
This community service program used education and practical recycling activities to raise awareness of plastic pollution among communities near a school in Solo, Indonesia. Community-based education and recycling programs are key tools for reducing the plastic waste that becomes microplastics in local waterways and soils.
Analysis Of The Issues On Bengawan Solo River Basin Management Policies
Researchers analyzed management policy issues affecting the Bengawan Solo River basin in Central Java, Indonesia, using empirical legal research with qualitative analysis through interviews with management officials from the Bengawan Solo River Management Office and environmental services of three regencies, as well as local residents. The study identified key governance and policy gaps in the management of Indonesia's historically significant river basin.
Assessment of stream quality and health risks in Indonesian river systems: A social analysis and water quality index approach
Researchers assessed water quality in three Indonesian rivers used by local communities, finding microplastics — primarily polyethylene and polypropylene — alongside elevated levels of iron, lead, and manganese, with residents reporting rising rates of skin disease and diarrhea linked to polluted water use.
Identifying the distribution and source of riverine plastic waste contamination: case study of Brantas River in Malang city
Researchers investigated microplastic concentrations and macroinvertebrate communities at three stations along the Brantas River in Malang City, Indonesia, integrating microplastic counts, SIGNAL-2 bioassessment scores, and household waste management surveys. The highest microplastic burden and lowest macroinvertebrate diversity occurred at the station where 80% of residents disposed of plastic waste directly into the river.
Assessment of Bango River Water Quality on Different Land Uses
Researchers assessed water quality in the Bango River in Indonesia across different land uses, finding that agricultural, residential, and industrial activities each contributed distinct pollution patterns affecting physicochemical parameters and overall river health.
Exploring the Impact of River Pollution on Environmental Health in Central Java - Indonesia: A Narrative Literature Review and Sustainable Management Strategies
This narrative review synthesizes research on river pollution impacts in Central Java, Indonesia, identifying domestic waste, agricultural runoff, and industrial discharge — including microplastics — as primary drivers of water quality degradation and health risks.
Analisis Jenis dan Kelimpahan Mikroplastik serta Pencemaran Logam Berat pada Hulu Sungai Bengawan Solo
Researchers measured microplastic types and abundance along with heavy metal concentrations in the upper section of the Bengawan Solo River in Indonesia, finding both contaminants present across sampling sites. The co-occurrence of microplastics and heavy metals in this nationally important river raises concerns for water quality and aquatic life.
Microplastic Abundance and Characteristics in the Bango River, Malang, Indonesia, Based on Land Use Patterns
Researchers quantified microplastic abundance and characterized particle types in the Bango River in Malang, Indonesia, finding significant contamination dominated by fragments and fibers linked to urban and agricultural sources.
Impact of a municipal solid waste processing facility on microplastic pollution in Indonesia’s waterways
Researchers quantified and characterized riverine microplastic pollution in the Jangli River in Semarang City, Indonesia, and assessed the contribution of a nearby Municipal Solid Waste Temporary Processing Site (TPS) to MP contamination through water sampling and field observation. The study documents how proximity to solid waste facilities elevates microplastic concentrations in urban waterways.
Peran Masyarakat Akar Rumput dalam Menangani Permasalahan Sampah Galon Sekali Pakai
This Indonesian-language study examines the role of grassroots community organizations in managing the growing plastic waste problem posed by single-use disposable water gallons, analyzing community networks and the challenges they face in influencing producer behavior and policy.
Sustainable Microplastic Filter Development for River Conservation: A Case Study in Yogyakarta
Researchers developed a sustainable microplastic filter for protecting freshwater river environments, testing a pilot-scale filtration system in a real river setting. The filter reduced downstream microplastic concentrations and was designed for low-cost, low-maintenance deployment.
Improving residential plastic waste management strategies for increasing value added to environmental sustainability
Researchers surveyed community awareness and behavior regarding plastic waste management in an Indonesian village, identifying gaps between knowledge and practice. Improving community engagement with proper plastic waste disposal is essential for reducing the plastic entering waterways and eventually becoming microplastics.
Implications of climate change on water quality and sanitation in climate hotspot locations: A case study in Indonesia
This review assesses water quality challenges in Indonesia, where 70% of rivers are heavily polluted and only 10% of rainfall reaches groundwater. Water availability has dropped sharply, with a supply deficit of 5.5 cubic hectometers per year. While focused on broader water quality issues including industrial and domestic waste, the findings illustrate how inadequate water infrastructure in climate-vulnerable regions leaves populations exposed to emerging contaminants like microplastics.
