Decrease of Ciujung river quality due to industry and community activities, leading to decreased quality of the river. As a result, river designation for raw drinking water, irrigation and fisheries are not suitable. Monitoring the quality of the river is one of the strategies for the environmental protection; therefore a suitable data should be required by government in a regional planning. A study of heavy metal distribution in the watershed Ciujung was carried out to determine its quality. Number of sediment samples was taken from several sampling points in the watershed, based on its pollutan sources identification. Sampling should be limited on main river (not including tributaries) from upstream to downstream river, there are 31 sampling points. Metal was analyzed using neutron activation analysis technique and AAS. The results showed that the distribution of metals Co, As, Sb, Cr, Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni and Cd fluctuate depending on the location. The highest concentrations of metals were found in downstream and industries-1 area. Evaluation based on the enrichment factor, contamination factor and index of geoaccumulation, ware concluded that the quality of upstream is still good has not contaminated / polluted. Industrial-1, industrial-2 area and the downstream ware contaminated by Cd metal source from human activity (anthropogenic). Evaluation based on pollution load index indicates that the river has not been contaminated, but the downstream, industry-1 and 2 areas has a value almost close IBT baseline level, therefore water quality monitoring in the future remains to be carried out.
