Pencemaran air adalah masuknya atau dimasukkannya suatu zat, energi kedalam air oleh kegiatan manusia sehingga kualitas air dapat menurun sampai tingkat tertentu yang mengakibatkan air tidak dapat berfungsi sesuai dengan peruntukannya. Waduk Jatibarang merupakan bendungan yang menampung beberapa aliran sungai yang kemudian menjadi sarana dan prasarana akuatik dan mendukung kegiatan pariwisata yang ada. Masuknya air dari beberapa sungai ke dalam waduk dapat membawa bahan pencemar sehingga dapat mengakibatkan perairan waduk menjadi tercemar. Salah satu indikator penting dalam penentuan kualitas air adalah dengan melihat tingkat saprobitas di perairan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka perlu dikaji lebih lanjut mengenai kondisi kualitas perairan Waduk Jatibarang ditinjau dari aspek saprobitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat saprobitas perairan Waduk Jatibarang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei – Juni 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan analisis deskriptif dan analisis korelasi, dengan mengukur parameter pendukung yaitu parameter fisika, kimia, indeks biologi, dan indeks saprobitas. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa nilai kelimpahan fitoplankton berkisar antara 236-865 ind/l, indeks keanekaragaman berkisar antara 1.02-1.77 indeks keseragaman berkisar antara 0.58-0.85 dan indeks dominasi berkisar antara 0.14-0.96. Indeks Kualitas Air (IKA) yang didapatkan berkisar antara 51.74-55.06 sehingga kualitas perairan dalam kategori sedang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa nilai indeks saprobitas berkisar antara 0.60-2.75 dan nilai indeks tropik saprobik berkisar antara 2.02-4.06 sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa perairan Waduk Jatibarang termasuk dalam golongan β-mesosaprobik/ oligosaprobik atau tercemar ringan. Water pollution is entry or inclusion by a substance, energy into water by the human activities so that quality of the water can decrease till the certain level which it can cause the water can be not function in accordance with the designation. Jatibarang Reservoir is a dam that holds several streams from the river which then becomes the aquatic facilities and infrastructure and can support the tourism activities. The entry of the water to reservoir, can carry pollutants it can cause the reservoir be polluted. One of the important indicators to determine the quality of the water is the saprobic level in the water. Based on the matter, it is necessary to study further about condition of the water quality of Jatibarang Reservoir in terms of saprobic aspect. The objective of the research has to know the level of waters saprobic in Jatibarang Reservoir. The research was conducted in May – June 2017. This research used case study method with descriptive analysis and correlation analysis, with measuring the supporting parameters like physics, chemistry, biology index, and saprobic index. The result of the observation showed that the phytoplankton abundance value ranged between 236-865 ind/l, index of diversity ranged between 1.02-1.77, uniformity index ranged between 0.49-0.85, and the index of dominance range between 0.14-0.96.  Water Quality Index (WQI) obtained ranged between 51.74-55.06 so that quality of the water in medium category . The result of the research, found that the Saprobic Index value ranged between 0.60-2.75, and the Tropic Saprobic Index value ranged between 2.02-4.06, so it can be concluded that the Jatibarang Reservoir belongs to the class of β-mesosaprobic/oligosaprobic or light polluted.

A challenge emerging from the literature on measuring and modelling segregation at multiple scales is how to map the results. This Featured Graphic uses a method based on the CMY colour model, allowing each of the C, M and Y values to represent one of the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of analysis separately, then combining them in an overall map. It presents the method using a new index, a multilevel index of diversity, with a case study looking at the ethnic diversity of state-school pupils living in London’s neighbourhoods.

ABSTRACT The Ordovician (485–444 Ma) saw a global shift from microbial- to skeletal-dominated reefs, and the rise of corals and bryozoans as important reef-builders. Hypothetically, increasingly morphologically diverse and abundant reef-building metazoans increased spatial habitat heterogeneity in reef environments, an important component of reefs' capacity to support diverse communities. Quantifying the spatial scale and extent of this heterogeneity requires three-dimensional exposures of well-preserved reefs whose composition and spatial arrangement can be measured. The Darriwilian (c. 467–458 Ma) carbonate sequence of the Mingan Archipelago, Quebec, presents such exposures, and also provides an opportunity to establish how the distribution of skeletal-dominated metazoan reefs contributed to, and was influenced by, seafloor relief. This study includes two transects through a 200–300 m wide paleo-reef belt, which developed along a rocky paleo-coast line. The reefs are typically micrite-rich, meter-scale mounds, locally forming larger complexes. Here, we present quantitative evaluations of the composition of these reefs, and detailed mapping of reef distributions. There is high compositional heterogeneity between reefs at spatial scales ranging from meters to kilometers, contributed by differences in the volumetric contribution of skeletal material to the reef core, and in the identity of the dominant reef-builders. We suggest that the abundance and morphological diversity of Middle Ordovician reef building metazoans made them important contributors to environmental and substrate heterogeneity, likely enhancing the diversity of reef-dwelling communities.
