Land-Use Impact on Water Quality of the Opak Sub-Watershed, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The species name mentioned for the first time in the abstract should be written long, like Escherichia coli. It can then be abbreviated as E. coli.
Adding Escherichia coli to keywords would be appropriate.
Why this study is needed and its importance should be emphasized at the end of the introduction.
The visibility quality of Figure 1 should be improved.
It would be appropriate to write copper (Cu) instead of cuprum (Cu) in line 163.
It would be appropriate to write the symbol of zinc on line 210.
It is convenient to rewrite lines 256-257. For example, “Almost all metals, both essential (Fe, Mn, Cu) and non-essential (Cd and Pb) elements were fell-down from wet to dry season”.
