Abstract

The Kartasura Subdistrict is an area with high levels of human activity, which can affect the surrounding environment. One of the impacts of this activity is a change in the quality of groundwater in the surrounding environment. This study aimed to analyze the effect of human activities on the levels of phosphate and nitrate in shallow groundwater used for sanitation in the Kartasura Subdistrict. Groundwater samples were collected from 12 villages across the Kartasura Subdistrict. The methods used to test the phosphate levels were based on SNI 06–6989.31–2005, while the nitrate levels were tested according to the QI/LKA/65 (Screening Spectrophotometer) standard. The results of the tests for nitrate and phosphate were analyzed further according to the Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 on Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control. The results of the laboratory tests for nitrate levels showed that the highest nitrate content was found in Pabelan Village, with a value of 26.9 mg/l. This high nitrate content is due to the proximity of the sample location to paddy fields and residential areas, which generate agricultural and household waste that can affect groundwater quality. The highest phosphate levels were observed in Gumpang Village, with a value of 1.328 mg/l, as the samples were taken near industrial and residential areas, causing groundwater to be polluted by industrial and household waste.
