The increasing use of rivers by the community might caused a negative impact to the waters quality and affect the organisms living there, such as macrozobenthos. The purpose of this study was to analyze the pollution status of the Raman River waters based on the macrozoobenthos community structure. Sampling was done from April to Mei 2020.
