     Dua sungai, Kali Premulung dan Kali Jenes, bahkan tergolong tercemar berat. "Pencemaran air sungai sudah melebihi ambang batas, sesuai kajian daya dukung dan daya tampung sungai." Merujuk hasil kajian di sejumlah sungai, air Kali Premulung dan Kali Jenes sudah tidak layak digunakan untuk pengairan pertanian ataupun perikanan. Sebab kandungan zat kimia dari pencemaran limbah batik sudah terlampau tinggi.

     Two rivers, Kali Premulung and Kali Jenes, were even classified as heavily polluted. "Pollution of river water has exceeded threshold levels, according to studies on the (ecological) carrying capacity of the river." Based on the results of the study on a number of rivers, water from Kali Premulung River and Kali Jenes River are no longer suitable to be used for agricultural irrigation or fishery purposes because the chemical contents caused by pollution of batik waste is too high.
