Waters territory is an area that has a large enough natural resource potential. This region has undergone many changes in function to be able to provide benefits and a large contribution in improving the community's economy, but economic activities that convert aquatic land into industrial areas, tourism, and settlements have caused a fairly severe deterioration in waters quality. Some parameters determining the quality of waters include Total Suspended Solid (TSS), and Water Transparency. The development of remote sensing is increasingly rapid making this technology more effectively used for wide coverage areas. This research aims to analyze the concentration level of TSS distribution and waters transparency by using remote sensing data. The results of data processing showed the range of suspended solids in the research area ranged from 9,706 to 16,193 mg /L, and the range of waters transparency is from 3.6536-4.8278 m. The results of the waters quality index processing data from this research based on parameters used are classified into 3 classes; high waters quality, moderate waters quality, and low waters quality. Waters quality in this research which has low waters quality and moderate waters quality is around the island, while most of the results have high waters quality. Keywords: Total Suspended Solid, Water Transparency, Water Quality 1. Introduction Waters pollution is defined as the entry or inclusion of living things, substances, energy or other components into waters by human activities (Duan & Takara, 2019) so that the quality of waters drops to a certain level that causes waters to no longer function in accordance with its designation (Schweitzer & Noblet, 2018; El-Zeiny & El-Kafrawy, 2017). Polluted waters can be measured based on physical parameters and chemical parameters. Physical parameters usually include color, odor, turbidity, and taste. While chemical parameters include pH, temperature, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Total ICAE 2022, October 05, Batam, Indonesia Copyright © 2023 EAI DOI 10.4108/eai.5-10-2022.2329739
