This study aimed to analyze the river water quality based on South Sumatra Governor Regulation No. 16/2005 using physical, chemical and biological parameters and to formulate the strategies to control water pollution in Sekanak River. To measure water quality status, Pollution Index (PI) Method was used and elaborated into strategies using SWOT analysis. The water quality was analyzed at 7 (seven) sampling station. The result showed that water quality status from the upstream to the downstream was mild. It is also evident that COD, BOD, NH3-N and Phosphate have exceeded the criteria levels of Class I. This may attributed to the anthropogenic activities such as washing and throwing garbage which can be indicated from the increase level of COD and phosphate. Regarding the issues, strategies of water pollution control have been formulated i.e (a) Prevention using waste water treatment and through legislation; (b) enforcement through regular inspection and supervision; (c) Regular monitoring program; and (d) education to strengthen public awareness and concern for environment.
