Abstract

The south-east of Ternate City, North Maluku, is one of the densely populated areas which have a higher risk with domestic pollution, especially in the coastal area. The objective of the research is to determine the quality of coastal groundwater of Ternate City. Samples were taken from dug wells and it was measured using multi water quality parameters, for nitrate and chloride were tested in the laboratory. Data were compared with drinking water quality standards from the Health Ministry (Permenkes). The average pH of groundwater was 8,15 indicates it’s slightly alkaline type. The temperature of groundwater varies between 28,7 – 31,1˚C. The salinity varies between 0,0294 -0,130 ppt, indicates as freshwater. Total Dissolved Solids varies between 0,367 g/L – 1,650 g/L, while turbidity varies between 0,848 – 8,100 NTU and electrical conductivity (EC) varies from 0,572 mS/cm – 2,590 mS/cm. Nitrate concentration varies between 6,493 – 4,824, and 5,152 mg/l in average, while chloride concentration varies between 29,689 mg/l and 709,694 mg/l. Chloride mean concentration in the groundwater was 146,731 mg/l and the standard deviation was 214,765. The distribution of chloride and salinity increased as closer to the coastal line. The physicochemical characteristics (i.e., nitrate, chloride, salinity, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, and temperature).
