On 20 until 26 Januari 2025, University of Aizu Aizuwakamatsu City, Japan held International Conference on ICT Integration In Technical Education (ETLTC), International Conference on Entertainment Technology and Management (ICETM), dan International Conference on Education and Society (ICES) 2025.
One of the Keynote Speaker in this event is Prof. Turmudi. He brought the theme about Mathematical Modelling of Water Quality in the Citarum River, West Java, Indonesia.
In his presentation, Prof. Turmudi began by expressing his concern about the increasingly polluted condition of the Citarum River due to industrial waste. Many companies choose to discharge their production waste directly into the river rather than treating it first, leading to a decline in water quality and threatening aquatic life. This issue not only affects the environment but is also closely related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Quality of Education, Clean Water and Sanitation, and Life Below Water. Using a mathematical approach, Prof. Turmudi developed a mathematical model to represent the river’s condition, water quality, and its impact on the aquatic ecosystem. He hopes that by modeling this real-world problem, solutions to environmental challenges can be found, demonstrating that mathematics can be a powerful tool for addressing real-life issues.
