The developed analytical method is essential for obtaining a procedure that is efficient, effective, simple, and fast. Total solids are usually measured using a gravimetric method. This study aims to determine the total solids in river water using a paper tissue-based gravimetric method. The developed method was evaluated and yielded significant results. Microscopic analysis revealed that solids were trapped in the paper tissue. The total solid value is approximately 5.84 mg. The precision test resulted in an acceptable value of about 0.44%. This method demonstrates efficiency, effectiveness, and practicality.
