Abstract
Land use change in upstream from forests into farms and settlements, as well as a wide range of industries throughout the Cihideung River of Cisadane Watershed ultimately need got great attention from various parties. The river is thought to have been subjected to contamination as a result the inclusion of various types waste from variety activities in all watersheds. The RBF (Riverbank Filter) is the process where surface water undergoes infiltration to sub surface flow and then extracted from the well. The RBF is usually takes the location on the banks of the River (riverbank). Wells made in the land of the hydraulics in aluvial soil will be connected on the river. This allows the hidraulic gradient so that surface water is forced to flow through the river bed and banks of the river. By this process of RBF concentration of physics contaminant, chemistry and biology which are among surface water and subsurface water can be reduced. The aim of this research is to study the characteristics of RBF, knowing the characteristic of the flow of RBF by pumping test, and get information data of the quality of water through RBF (River Bank filtration) in the riverbank Cisadane.
