Heavy metal contamination has become one of the priorities of global public health problems since it was first published in 1848 as a cause of disease. This study aims to obtain the latest conditions of lead (Pb) contamination along the Brantas River in Kediri City. Sampels were river water and local bio-indicators Barbonymus gonionotus (bader fish) and Ipomoea aquatica (water spinach). Data collected using SNI 6989.8: 2009 for river water, SNI 2354.5: 2011 B. gonionotus and SNI 01-2896-1998 for water spinach. The results of the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) examination at the BARISTAND Laboratory in Surabaya City were compared with the Pb threshold value according to PP No 82 of 2001 for river water, SNI 2729: 2013 for B. gonionotus, and SNI 7387: 2009 for Ipomoea aquatica. Pb contamination in Brantas River is caused by vehicle fuel discharges that cross the bridge before the sampling point, domestic waste, and agriculture. Therefore, river conservation policies and supervision of the industrial and domestic sectors around the Brantas River basin across sectors and across regions are needed. In addition, water treatment techniques for Brantas River water is needed so that in the future it can be consumed.
