The Quick Summary of Dragonfly which can Be Detector for The Pollution In River, Lakes, Water Sources etc





" Dragon fly can be use for determine the River Polution ", said Prigi Arisandi : the Green Noble Goldman Environmental Foundation 2011 winner. He examined that dragonfly has been chosen refer to their lifestyle habitat around the the water areas. Because of it, dragonfly is sensitive to the pollution specially to water.

So far, US uses physic and chemical parameter for determining the pollution in the water, but there is weakness by using these 2 tools due the slack in detecting the environment once the pollution already worst happened. We can't find out soon and avoid the worst thing.

The reason of good thing by using dragonfly, Prigi Arisandi was explaining that we can involve the society easier to participating the program for detecting the pollution once before it happens more over. He and his team ( ECOTON ) practised how to doing it. They practise in Kali Surabaya and Brantas River, in East Java. More benefit by involving society, it doesn't need smart people, even just ordinary people can be participating in this program.

It was proven that the pollution in Kali Surabaya is included in the medium - high rank of polluted. In fact, society use this Kali Surabaya as their main drinking water source. His experiment gets attention from The White House USA. Nancy Sutley is interested to follow this way and more others countries start to do the same thing though.

It is very simple idea of  Prigi Arisandi and his team. They understand and pay attention the behaviour of the dragonflies that they can't stay without water. Even when they are breeding, they put the nymphs inside the water, and the main thing is that dragonflies just can live in clean water only. Once the nymphs get older and grown up, still they can not be far from water. It is already their habitat. As we should know also that dragonflies is the main food source for birds, fishes, frogs, and water beetles. So meaning is once we can't find the dragonflies around our river, pollution and the ecosystem got disturbance are happening in our areas. There is no more healthy fishes that sometimes we eat them, no more singing birds, frogs can not sing anymore even their voice is ugly and naughty water beetles who always fly here and there with buzzzzzzz voices.

So in here we should start paying attention to the nature itself. Don't we get the points of Prigi and His team try to teach us, that even a small creature as like dragon fly show us the sign of what would be happen if they are not exist. All creatures in the earth, in this universe have parts in every aspects of humans' life. Once I read the article in newspaper about this, I start realize that sometimes we forget the existence of things and just forget that it has contribution to make thing happens.

Lucky, I went to small city park near my area, still lots dragon flies here and there. But still it is not just feel lucky, once I realize this Jakarta needs to restore our small city park in Srengseng and make wider the watering system in there since it can help also once the rain season comes. Good drainages in the city, water catchment areas need to be build too. It is not enough only using dragonfly, it is need more efforts due the garbages also that so easy people throws them in anywhere they want including in the streets which can be run into the watering system of the city.

Start from ourselves, because we do already use too much chemical by the household garbages as like usage of soap when we wash our clothes, dishes, etc which contain strong chemicals through water flow, so reduce it by putting and throwing the physical garbages into the right place. This universe, is too nice for being wasted and spoiled.

Best Regards and happy Saturday !!!
