Banjir Kanal Barat and Silandak Rivers are large rivers in Semarang. There are various activities along the river flow, including domestic activities and industries where waste effluents enter the river bodies causing a decrease in water quality. One of the microorganisms contained in domestic waste that as an indicator of pollution is coliform bacteria, so it is necessary to calculate the total coliform in order to find out the pollution in the Banjir Kanal Barat and Silandak Rivers. This study aims to determine abundance of total Coliform, water quality status based on PP No. 82 of 2001 class II and relationship between the total coliform with organic matter and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) in the Banjir Kanal Barat and Silandak Rivers. The method used in this study is survey method. Sampling consisted of 2 stations (A and B), each of which had 5 points and 2 repetitions (P1 and P2). The main variables analyzed were total coliform, organic matter and BOD, the supporting variable analiyzed were temperature, salinity, DO (Dissolved Oxygen ) and pH. Based on the results of the study, the total number of coliform at station A ranged from 240-16000 MPN/100 ml and 23-5400MPN/100 ml at station B. The total value of coliform at points A2 and B2 at P1 and A5 P2 has exceeded the standard. The relationship between total coliform and organic matter is very weak (Pearson Correlation value = 0.15). The relationship between total coliform and BOD is weak (Pearson Correlation value = 0.378).
