Abstract

In Jambi province, peat water is distributed in lowland region of West Tanjung Jabung, East Tanjung Jabung, and Muaro Jambi Regencies. Peat water is used for agriculture, rice field, and as a source of clean water for people, while the peat water contains organic matter, Fe, and acids. The purpose of this research was to determine quality peat water scattered in swamps of Jambi. The parameters tested were TDS, color, pH, Fe, Mn, organic matter and nitrate contents. Sampling method used was non probability with purposive sampling technique. The total number of samples was 15, and each region had five sampling points. The samples were collected compositely. The results showed that the parameter values during wet season varied widely, where TDS, Fe, Mn, organic matter, and nitrate values were 0.17-277, 0.382-4.932, <0.003-0.282, 23.00-221, and <0.0006-0.3888 mg/L, respectively, and color and pH values were 17-1065.08 Pt.Co and 3.53-6.90). During dry season, the values of TDS, Fe, Mn, organic matter, and nitrate were 0.29-524, 0.429-5.57, -0.800, 29.29-208.91, and -0.5436 mg/L, respectively, and color and pH values were 15.77 to 205.71 Pt.Co and 3.80 to 7.70. From the research results, it can be concluded that the quality of the swamp peat water of Jambi Province varied widely, however, there were no extremely high and very low values. Peat water quality was relatively different between rainy and dry seasons. The average values of peat water quality in the dry season were better than that in rainy season. The values were good while in the wet season and in dry season, the water was not feasible as a source of clean water for the community because they were still far below the water quality standard.
