Pollution prevention is an instrument for controlling pollution and/or
environmental damage. This study aims to identify efforts to prevent river water
pollution caused by motorcycle workshop activities in the Code River buffer zone.
The research method used is empirical legal research, focusing on social facts
obtained through interviews with respondents and resource persons. Water
pollution prevention is regulated under Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 on
the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management. Although
motorcycle workshop owners have made efforts to prevent water pollution, these
measures remain suboptimal due to the lack of business permits.
