Judul: Analisis Kesetimbangan Air di Daerah Aliran Sungai Brantas, Jawa Timur
Abstrak: The principle of water balance is the relationship between total water inflow and water outflow that can occur in a watershed (DAS). The objectives of this study were to analyze the water balance based on capacity of ground water reservoir in the Brantas watershed and to solve deficit and surplus water problemes in the Brantas watershed. The result showed that groundwater storage in June until September was deficit because from June until September was the dry season periode. That is because the flow of water entering the soil layer will be the base flow (base flow), and the streams that will fill the river network system. The flow of water entering the river during the dry season in small quantities, so there is drought in the dry season. Efforts to do is to recharge wells made in order to increase the amount of water that entered and stored in the soil. Efforts to do is to recharge wells made in order to increase the amount of water that entered and stored in the soil.

Judul: Analysis of water balance and aridity index in catchment and irrigation area of Jatiluhur Reservoir
Abstrak: One of the functions of Jatiluhur Reservoir is to supply irrigation water for 264.000 ha of agricultural land in Pantura, West Java. Most of the farmlands in these area had water deficit during dry season. The purpose of this study were to analyze the water balance and aridity index in catchment and irrigation area of Jatiluhur reservoir, to calculate crop water requirements, irrigation water requirements and efficiency of irrigation channels on farms in the region Pantura West Java, and also to identify and mapping the areas that should receive high priority irrigation water supply. Water balance analysis using Thornthwaite- Mather method was done to obtain water resource potential representation of upstream Citarum watersheed, that hystorically had higher rainfall than its downstream. Irrigation water requirement was calculated by Penman – Monteith method of water balance analysis, using CropWat for Windows version 8.0 software. The result of rainfall analysis showed that dry season in Pantura was occured from April until November (eight months), and wet season was occured from December until March (four months). The result of water balance analysis showed that soils in this region experienced water deficit during April to December. Analysis of aridity index showed that the coastal region Pantura experienced severe drought from June to October, with August as the peak. Water balance of Citarum river and Jatiluhur reservoir indicated that irrigation water demand for agricultural land in Pantura could not fulfilled only by Citarum River, so it need subvention from local resource. Moreover, calculation using CropWat for Windows showed that water requirement for all agricultural land in Pantura was 3.797,7 million m3/year, while data from PJT II showed that the average of irrigation water supply for this area was 5.519,6 million m3/year. It indicated that efficiency of the irrigation Jatiluhur channels was about 68,8%.

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
