Abstract
Irrigation has an important role as a source of irrigating rice fields. Irrigation water is often contaminated by waste from anthropogenic activity. Indications of pollution in irrigation channels because the use of pesticides or other chemicals in agricultural land can be observed based on the number and type of vegetation that grows in the irrigation canal. Vegetation that grows in these waters is also believed to have the potential to improve the quality of water as phytoremediation. This study aims to determine the characteristics of vegetation, identify species that grow around the irrigation canals, and calculate the importance of aquatic and riparian vegetation in the irrigation channels of Mulyasari Village, Banyuasin Regency and analyze the potential of aquatic and riparian vegetation. to improve water quality. The method used to determine the station in this study is purposive sampling method. Vegetation analysis was carried out at 4 station points, research was conducted at low tide.. A bamboo quadrate plot having measurement of 1m x 1m with a perpendicular stake is used for data collection on aquatic vegetation, its type is observed and recorded. The results of the study found 6 types of vegetation, namely: Eleucharis dulcis, Hydrilla verticillata, Nymphae alba, Swersia hexandra Sw, Eleucharis acicularis, and Eleusine indica. Aquatic vegetation is dominated by flowering vegetation with linear leaf type. This study also shows that aquatic or riparian vegetation such as Eleucharis acicularis are the species that dominate canal waters with the highest Important Value Index is 46.51-81.22%, while Eleusine indica is a type of vegetation that tends to be rarely found (the average important value index is 10.86-19.84 %). Based on this, it was concluded that aquatic vegetation such as Eleucharis acicularis, which was found in the irrigation channel was the dominant vegetation in the canal. This vegetation has the potential as a phytoremidiation agent because of its role in maintaining the balance of the aquatic ecosystem so that it can improve the quality of water and can also be used as organic fertilizer, biofilter, and absorbent toxic elements. Eleucharis dulcis can improve the quality of water during the dry season by absorbing toxic dissolved ompounds.
