Jatigede Reservoir is a reservoir located in Sumedang West Java which is built for irrigation, raw water, power generation, tourism, and capture fisheries. This research aims to determine the value of primary productivity as one of the indicators of the water body feasibility of the Jatigede reservoir to capture fisheries activities. The study was conducted in August – September 2019. Sampling is carried out at 4 stations on the surface, half the depth of compensation, and the depth of compensation. Estimation of primary productivity using chlorophyll-a concentration measurement method. The results of measurement of water quality parameters in the Jatigede reservoir include transparency range of 19,5 cm – 116,5 cm, temperature with a spread of 26,58 – 27,48oC, pH with a range of 7,69 – 8,40, carbon dioxide with a range of 4,190 mg/L – 9,219 mg/L, current ranges from 0.136 m/s – 0,216 m/s, BOD5 with a range of 11,027 dissolved oxygen ranges from 6,4 mg/L – 7,1 mg/L, ammonia ranges from 0,006 mg/L – 0,039 mg/L, nitrates ranged from 0,168 mg/L – 0,216 mg/L, and phosphate range 0,139 mg/L – 0,185 mg/L. Results from the measurement of chlorophyll-a ranged from 0,035 mg/L – 0,062 mg/L. This results in showing the Jatigede reservoir of oligotrophic water because the primary productivity in the waters of the Jatigede Reservoir is relatively low if calculated based on the concentration of chlorophyll-a.

In this study, we use canonical correlation analysis to interpret the relationship between water quality parameters (T, Alk, Cl, EC, TN, TP, UV-254, pH, HPC, DO) and primary productivity parameters (algae and chlorophyll-a). In these two sets of constructed canonical variables, the water quality parameters can account for 39.25% of the total variance of primary productivity. The majority of the explanatory power is from the first set of canonical variables, which has a correlation coefficient of 0.84. The main factors that control chlorophyll-a are HPC, Alk, T, TN, and pH.

Abstract Kuala Gigieng is one of the estuary areas in Aceh Besar Regency. This research is about the analysis of chlorophyll-a and trophic status of Kuala Gigieng waters in the context of sustainable fisheries management. This research was conducted in April 2019 in the water of Kuala Gigieng. This study aims to determine the trophic status of the waters, the value of chlorophyll-a and the abundance of phytoplankton in the Kuala Gigieng waters. Determination of observation stations using random stratified sampling method. Analysis of chlorophyll-a using the Trichomatic method. Analysis of the trophic status of the waters with the Trix method. The results showed that the waters of Kuala Gigieng were categorized as high fertility (eutrophic). The value of chlorophyll-a ranged from 0.21 u.g/l - 5.56 ug/l, and the value of net primary productivity (NPP) ranged from 3.47-27.77 mgC/m3/hour and the value of gross primary productivity (GPP) ranged from 5.20-32.98 mgC/m3/hour. Meanwhile, the abundance of plankton ranged from 133.33-207.40 ind/l. Water quality parameters are still suitable for the growth of plankton in Kuala Gigieng waters.

Correlations between water quality parameters and seagrass depth penetration were developed for use as a biological indicator of integrated light availability and long-term trends in water quality. A year-long water quality monitoring programme in Moreton Bay was coupled with a series of seagrass depth transects. A strong gradient between the western (landward) and eastern (seaward) portions of Moreton Bay was observed in both water quality and seagrass depth range. Higher concentrations of chlorophyll a, total suspended solids, dissolved and total nutrients, and light attenuation coefficients in the water column and correspondingly shallower depth limits of the seagrass Zostera capricorni were observed in the western portions of the bay. Relatively high correlation coefficient values (r2 > 0.8) were observed between light attenuation coefficient, total suspended solids, chlorophyll a, total Kjeldahl nitrogen and Zostera capricorni depth range. Low correlation coefficient values (r2 < 0.8) between seagrass depth range and dissolved inorganic nutrients were observed. Seagrasses had disappeared over a five-year period near the mouth of the Logan River, a turbid river with increased land use in its watershed. At a site 9 km from the river mouth, a significant decrease in seagrass depth range corresponded to higher light attenuation, chlorophyll a, total suspended solids and total nitrogen content relative to a site 21 km from the river mouth. Seagrass depth penetration thus appears to be a sensitive bio-indicator of some water quality parameters, with application for water quality management.

What are algae? Algae are organisms that perform photosynthesis; that is, they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen (therefore they have chlorophyll, a group of green pigments used by photosynthetic organisms that convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis) and live in water or in humid places. Algae have great variability and are divided into microalgae, small in size and only visible through a microscope, and macroalgae, which are larger in size, up to more than 50 m (the maximum recorded was 65 m), and have a greater diversity in the oceans. Thus, the term “algae” is commonly used to refer to “marine macroalgae or seaweeds”. It is estimated that 1800 different brown macroalgae, 6200 red macroalgae, and 1800 green macroalgae are found in the marine environment. Although the red algae are more diverse, the brown ones are the largest.

Electrical and thermal loads of residential buildings present a unique opportunity for onsite power generation, and concomitant thermal energy generation, storage, and utilization, to decrease primary energy consumption and carbon dioxide intensity. This approach also improves resiliency and ability to address peak load burden effectively. Demand response programs and grid-interactive buildings are also essential to meet the energy needs of the 21st century while addressing climate impact. Given the significance of the scale of building energy consumption, this study investigates how cogeneration systems influence the primary energy consumption and carbon footprint in residential buildings. The impact of onsite power generation capacity, its electrical and thermal efficiency, and its cost, on total primary energy consumption, equivalent carbon dioxide emissions, operating expenditure, and, most importantly, thermal and electrical energy balance, is presented. The conditions at which a cogeneration approach loses its advantage as an energy efficient residential resource are identified as a function of electrical grid’s carbon footprint and primary energy efficiency. Compared to a heat pump heating system with a coefficient of performance (COP) of three, a 0.5 kW cogeneration system with 40% electrical efficiency is shown to lose its environmental benefit if the electrical grid’s carbon dioxide intensity falls below 0.4 kg CO2 per kWh electricity.

The depletion of fossil fuels and climate change concerns are drivers for the development and expansion of bioenergy. Promoting biomass is vital to move civilization toward a low-carbon economy. To meet European Union targets, it is required to increase the use of agricultural residues (including straw) for power generation. Using agricultural residues without accounting for their energy consumed and carbon dioxide emissions distorts the energy and environmental balance, and their analysis is the purpose of this study. In this paper, a life cycle analysis method is applied. The allocation of carbon dioxide emissions and energy inputs in the crop production by allocating between a product (grain) and a byproduct (straw) is modeled. Selected crop yield and the residue-to-crop ratio impact on the above indicators are investigated. We reveal that straw formation can consume between 30% and 70% of the total energy inputs and, therefore, emits relative carbon dioxide emissions. For cereal crops, this energy can be up to 40% of the lower heating value of straw. Energy and environmental indicators of a straw return-to-field technology and straw power generation systems are examined.
