The aim of this study was to characterize phytoplankton associations, as well as discuss controlling factors determining algal dominance in a eutrophic tropical reservoir, Mundaú, Pernambuco, Brazil. Water samples were collected during the dry period (January/2005) and the rainy period (June/2005). The samples were collected from both limnetic and littoral regions, and the phytoplankton assemblages identified from current literature after preservation in formaldehyde 4%. At the same time as sampling was done, in situ measurements of water temperature, transparency, dissolved oxygen, and pH were also taken. Total phosphorus, total nitrogen concentration and the Trophic State Index were subsequently determined in the laboratory. Phytoplankton density (ind. L-1) was estimated using an inverted Zeiss microscope. Grouping of the phytoplankton associations was carried out using the Reynolds phytosociological classification. During the dry period, reservoir water showed low dissolved oxygen concentrations, alkaline pH and was relatively turbid compared to the situation during the rainy season. Reservoir water is limited by nitrogen during both seasonal periods. The Trophic State Index is classified as determining eutrophic conditions. Phytoplankton was represented by 70 infrageneric taxa grouped in 16 functional associations, with the majority typical of eutrophic systems. This fact is supported by quantitative analysis, which shows the dominance of S associations comprising exclusively R-strategist cyanobacteria.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the zooplankton community at six reservoirs in the state of Pernambuco (Brazil). Zooplankton assemblages were identified using current literature and quantitatively analysed under a microscope and stereomicroscope. Concurrently to the sampling of zooplanktonic and phytoplanktonic communities, in situ measurements of abiotic variables, such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH, were determined using field probes and transparency was determined with a Secchi disk. Total phosphorus concentrations were used for the determination of the Trophic State Index. The reservoirs were classified between eutrophic and hypertrophic, oxygenated, with pH varying from slightly acid to alkaline, high temperatures and low water transparency. A total of 27 zooplankton taxa were identified. Phytoplankton was represented by Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Baccilariophyta and phytoflagellates. The highest richness of species was observed for Rotifera (17), followed by Crustacea (8), Protozoa (1) and Insecta (1). Rotifers shared quantitative importance with Crustacea, which were mainly represented by juvenile forms. Jazigo Reservoir presented the highest diversity and equitability. Lowest diversity and equitability were recorded at the Poço da Cruz and Mundaú reservoirs, respectively. Dissimilarity was detected between the environments studied regarding zooplankton composition and structure.

Using Data

A study of the water quality of the Adolfo López Mateos Reservoir (ALMD) was developed through different indicators from a spatial and seasonal perspective. Variables related to the general characteristics of water quality, trophic level and ecological risk were assessed through the water Quality Index (WQINSF-BROWN), Trophic State Index (TSICARLSON) and the Ecological Risk Index (RIHAKANSON). Using data from physical, chemical and biological parameters obtained from four sampling points in the ALMD, the water quality was assessed in each model used. The results indicated that the reservoir presents a water quality classified as “medium” (WQINSF-BROWN = 70), where significant variations in the concentrations of some parameters are observed. The reservoir showed a general trophic state classified as “Mesotrophic” (TSIGENERAL-AVERAGE = 43.04). The ecological risk analysis achieved the best classification of the methodology, discarding contamination by heavy metals in surface waters. Through this type of applied methodologies will help as decision making tools in the dam, as well as for application in other dams in the region.

ABSTRAKSungai Banjir Kanal Timur merupakan salah satu sungai besar yang dimiliki Kota Semarang. Sungai ini berfungsi dalam sistem drainase dan pengendalian banjir. Beberapa aliran sungai mengalir ke Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur dan berakhir di muara. Muara merupakan segmen yang akan menampung semua beban yang berasal dari sungai. Oleh karena itu, status trofik perairan di muara, khususnya Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur perlu dievaluasi dalam rangka pengelolaan lingkungan dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya alamnya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama bulan Mei 2016 di muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur Semarang. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas air melalui status kesuburan perairan di muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur, berdasarkan metode Trophic State Index (Carlson, 1977) dan metode STORET dalam Kepmen LH No. 115 Tahun 2003 tentang Pedoman Penentuan Status Mutu Air dan PP RI No. 82 Tahun 2001 tentang Pengelolaan Kualitas Air dan Pengendalian Pencemaran Air. Variabel utama yang digunakan pada Analisis TSI Carlson adalah kandungan total N, total P, klorofil-a, dan kecerahan air (angka Secchi disk). Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan penentuan lokasi sampling bersifat purposive sampling. Hasil yang diperoleh dari analisis TSI (Carlson, 1977) berkisar 53 – 57. Kriteria TSI menunjukkan bahwa TSI TP < TSI SD > TSI CHL dan TSI TP > TSI SD > TSI CHL. Pendugaan interpretasi hubungan tersebut menjelaskan bahwa fosfor membatasi biomasa alga (rasio TN/TP lebih besar dari 33:1), dan nilai TSI Chl yang rendah disebabkan beberapa faktor lain selain fosfor seperti, pemangsaan oleh zooplankton, kandungan nitrogen, dan sebagainya yang sifatnya mengurangi biomasa algae. Di sisi lain, analisis (Indeks STORET) menggunakan Kepmen LH No. 115 Tahun 2003 tentang Pedoman Penentuan Status Mutu Air menghasilkan skor, yaitu -8. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa kesuburan perairan muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur, Semarang menurut TSI (Carlson 1977) berada pada status eutrofik ringan atau (Indeks STORET, Kepmen LH No. 115 / 2003) termasuk kategori perairan tercemar ringan. Kata Kunci : Status Mutu Perairan, Trophic State Index Carlson (1977),  Kepmen  LH No. 115 Tahun 2003, muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur Semarang. ABSTRACTEast Banjir Kanal River is one of the largest river owned by the city of Semarang. The river has a main function as drainage system and flood control of the city. Several streams flowing into the East Banjir Kanal River and end at the estuary. As estuary accommodates all loads from the river, therefore, the trophic status of waters in particular for East Banjir Kanal River needs to be evaluated in the context of environmental management and utilization of natural resources. This work was conducted during May 2016 in the estuary of East Banjir Kanal River. The objective was to determine river water quality using Trophic State Index by Carlson (1977) and the STORET method in the Decree of the Minister of Environment of The Republic of Indonesia (Kepmen LH) No. 115/2003 regarding Guideline for the Determination of Water Quality Status and The Government Regulation of The Republic of Indonesia No 81/2001 regarding Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control. The main variables used in the analysis of Trophic State Index by Carlson, 1977 are total N, total P, chlorophyll-a and water clarity. Descriptive method is used to determine random sampling points. The average results of all stations analysed by means of Trophic State Index (Carlson, 1977) ranged from 53-57. The interpretation showed that TSI TP < TSI SD > TSI CHL and TSI TP > TSI SD > TSI CHL, these mean that phosphorus limit the biomass of algae (the ratio TN/TP larger than 33:1). Furthermore, lower TSI Chl values in all sampling point were due to several factors other than phosphorus, such as predatory zooplankton, nitrogen which worked to reduce algal biomass. The STORET analysis in the Decree of the Minister of Environment of The Republic of Indonesia (Kepmen LH) No. 115/2003 about Guideline for the Determination of Water Quality Status gives an overall score of  minus 8. It is concluded that by applying both methods, the estuary of the East Banjir Kanal, Semarang during the course of the study were on light eutrophic status and categorized as lightly polluted waters. Keywords:  Water Quality Status, Trophic State Index Carlson (1977), Decree of the Minister of Environment of The Republic Indonesia (Kepmen LH) No. 115/2003, Estuary of East Banjir Kanal River Semarang.

AbstractThe main goal of this study is the derivation of Carlson’s Trophic State Index (TSI) through the remote sensing of four different Case-2 waters in the Mediterranean region such as Cyprus and Greece. TSISD is derived through extensive field ground campaign of Secchi Disk Depth measurements for the Asprokremmos Dam, located in Paphos District in Cyprus; Alyki Salt Lake, located in Larnaca District in Cyprus; and in Karla Lake, located in Volos District in Greece; and finally to three coastal water areas in the Limassol coastal area. Several regression models have been applied in order to develop the best regression model between the TSISD and in-band reflectance values for Landsat TM/ETM derived from spectroradiometric measurements using a GER-1500 field spectroradiometer over the main case study area in Asprokremmos Dam in Cyprus. Finally, we apply several regression models for Asprokremmos Dam for retrieving the suitable Landsat TM/ETM band or band combinations (obtained from field spectroradiometric measurements) in which TSISD can be determined. Indeed, the best regression model has been obtained by correlating ‘TSI Versus Band2/Band3’, with R2=0.89. All field TSISD and in-band reflectance values from the four different water bodies have been used to develop the best fitted model for the established TSI SD Versus Band2/Band3 model. We find that the exponential regression model provides the best fitted equation over the four different water bodies.

Objectives : Remote sensing of water quality parameters (WQPs) has been widely applied along with the emerging importance of obtaining the spatial pattern of water quality at inland reservoir. This study retrieved the Total Phosphorus (TP) via remote sensing imagery at Daecheong reservoir and used it for acquiring the spatial distribution of Trophic State Index (TSI).Methods : First, stepwise regression for TP was established using the ground-based TP measurement and reflectance of Landsat 8 collocated in space and time. With the developed regression model, we estimated the spatial distribution of TSI and evaluated the severity of eutrophication at Daecheong reservoir.Results and Discussion : The result confirmed that predicted TP yielded reasonable statistics compared against measured TP with R<sup>2</sup> of 0.956 and p-value of 0.022. Seasonal variation of TP was highly influenced by the precipitation. Similarly, precipitation also influenced to the spatial pattern of TSI. Before the rainfall event (e.g., August 22 2018) at Daecheong reservoir, TSI metric indicated the oligotrographic stage. However, TSI of Daecheong reservoir after the rainfall (e.g., October 25 2018) indicated the mesotrophic and eutrophic stage.Conclusions : These results confirmed that the retrieval of WQP from remote sensing imagery can serve as a robustness tool to monitor the water quality over the large scale area.
