Abstract

This study aims to determine the levels of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) as an indicator of water quality in the upstream and downstream sections of the Bagong River, Banyuwangi, and to identify the factors influencing changes in BOD levels. Water samples were collected from two locations, namely Sungai Licin (upstream) and Sungai Bagong (downstream). BOD analysis was conducted at the Environmental Laboratory Unit of the Banyuwangi Environmental Agency using the Winkler titration method and five-day incubation. The results showed that the BOD level at the upstream location was 1.16 mg/L and at the downstream location was 0.92 mg/L, indicating relatively good water quality. Differences in BOD values between upstream and downstream are influenced by human activities, organic pollution, and environmental factors such as dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous water quality monitoring to protect the Bagong River ecosystem from further pollution.
