The Development of Spatial Decision Support System for Industrial Wastewater Monitoring (A Case Study: Upper Citarum River Basin, West Java)

Abstract

The study aims to make an industrial pollution monitoring application system as a prototype system, called IWMS System (Industrial Waste Water Monitoring Support System). IWMS System should give some spatial information to support the government decision for the industry monitoring. It is designed in accordance with industrial profile, pollution monitoring reports and the Government Regulation in the format of Water Quality Standard. Upper Citarum River Basin is selected as the study area due to: (1) The river is one of the high priorities river basin in Indonesia, (2) The region covers the Capital City of West Java, which has a lot of important activities, (3) Many industries are located in this river basin with negative impacts that should be managed, (4) The subject of study should not be too wide, and can be implemented to the other river basins especially in Indonesia; and (5) There is a specific management to achieve the sustainable development, without disruption to the economic growth in this area. The objectives of this study are: (1) To develop the DSS of industrial wastewater monitoring system as an application system to support the Government Decision, and (2) To implement the IWMS as a prototype of the system. IWMS has capability to support the decision in environmental management. At least 13 decisions support can be resulted in this system, e.g.: Visualization of Industry, vi Visualization of Monitoring Site, Comparing the Chart Pattern, Identifying Polluted Industry, Identifying Polluted River, Findings of Industrial Compliance Level, Findings of the Priority Scale of River, Quick Response of Environmental Cases, Findings of the Potential of Polluted Industry, Water Intake and Exploration Control, Reward & Punishment based on Possessing of License, Reward & Punishment based on Possessing of Environmental Document, and Estimation of BOD Potential (sources).
