Abstract: Cisadane river is one of the important rivers in Indonesia. In the Tangerang City segment, This river is a source of raw water for the provision of clean water in the city of Tangerang, a source of raw water for the Soekarno-Hatta international airport as well as for irrigation. The main problem in this river is the high level of pollution, even every year the quality of river water tends to decrease. While the development of Tangerang City itself is growing rapidly, The rise of settlement construction, industry and other infrastructure turns open land into built land. This study aims to analyze the level of river pollution, determine the most dominant parameters in river pollution and analyze the relationship between land use change and river pollution. The method used is the STORET Method, Statistical Analysis, GIS and Multiple Regression Linear Model. The analysis results show that the quality of river water is heavily polluted, the most dominant pollutant parameters are BOD, COD, DO and Fecal Coliform. For the relationship between the change of open land into developed land also affects river pollution. Industry growth also influences river pollution, especially on BOD, COD and DO parameters.
