Semarang, June 30, 2025 — An insightful scientific discussion aired through the CCStudio UNNES YouTube channel focused on water remediation as a chemical solution for addressing water pollution that often goes unnoticed. This episode featured Lina Mahardiani, S.T., M.M., M.Sc., Ph.D., a lecturer and researcher from Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), as the main speaker.
In her presentation, Dr. Lina Mahardiani explained the chemical principles behind water remediation processes, including the techniques and chemicals used to remove contaminants such as heavy metals, organic substances, and micro-pollutants. She highlighted that water pollution often arises from industrial, household, and agricultural waste, much of which is not easily detectable by the naked eye, requiring scientific and technological approaches to tackle it.
Further, Dr. Lina discussed the latest effective remediation methods, such as the use of adsorbents, bioremediation, and catalytic reactions. She emphasized the importance of regular water quality monitoring and the collaboration between governments, academia, and communities to ensure that remediation efforts are not only effective but also sustainable.
The video not only presents theoretical knowledge but also includes real-life case studies from various regions in Indonesia where water remediation has already been implemented. It covers the challenges faced in the field and provides recommendations for policies and regulations that can support efforts to protect water resources..
