of turbidity based on the remaining amount of light after absorbed by the materials contained in the water (both
suspended and dissolved), while TSS relies on the weight of the residue (after the water evaporated) from materials
contained in the water as a suspension. Turbidity is highly dependent on the intensity of sunlight, suspended
particles, turbid water received from catchment area and density of plankton, etc [5]. Overall water quality data of
Ciambulawung River at 3 stations is presented at Table 5.
High TDS and TSS can boost the water temperature because solid materials absorb heat from sunlight [8].
Rainfall will decrease the TSS since when the rain falls, dilution occurs in river water [9], but it can also increase
TSS depending on the watershed. GR No. 82/2001 (class II) requires TSS
