ABSTRACT
A study of spatial and temporal variations on water quality and
trophic status was conducted twice a month from December 2012 to January 2014
in four sampling stations at Bukit Merah Reservoir (BMR).
The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature,
conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total phosphorous (TP),
PO4-, NO2-,
NO3-, NH4+ and
net primary productivity had significant differences temporally (p<0.05) except for pH, total suspended
solids (TSS) and chlorophyll-a. Based on correlation
analysis, the amount of rainfall and rain days has negatively correlated with
secchi depth and chlorophyll-a (p<0.01). The water level has
significantly decreased the value of the temperature, pH, conductivity, TP and
NO2- but it has positive
correlation with NO3- and
NH4+. Discharged from Sungai Kurau
increased the value of conductivity, TSS, TP and
NO2- as a result from runoff and
erosion, thus decreasing the secchi depth values, NO3- and
NH4+. The water quality of BMR is
classified in Class II and TSI indicates that the BMR has
an intermediate level of productivity (mesotrophic) and meets the objective of
this reservoir which was to provide water for paddy irrigation.

ABSTRAK
Suatu kajian variasi reruang dan temporal ke atas kualiti air dan
status trofik telah dijalankan dua kali sebulan dari Disember 2012
sehingga Januari 2014 di empat stesen persampelan Takungan Bukit
Merah (BMR). Kepekatan oksigen terlarut (DO), suhu air, konduktiviti, jumlah
pepejal terlarut (TDS), jumlah fosforus (TP),
PO4-, NO2-,
NO3-, NH4+
dan nilai bersih produktiviti primer berbeza secara
signifikan mengikut temporal (p<0.05) kecuali pH, jumlah pepejal terampai
(TSS) dan klorofil-a. Berdasarkan analisis korelasi,
jumlah hujan dan hari hujan berkorelasi secara negatif dengan kedalaman
secchi dan klorofil-a (p<0.01). Aras air secara
signifikan menurunkan nilai suhu, pH, konduktiviti, TP dan
NO2- tetapi ia
berkorelasi secara positif dengan NO3- dan
NH4+. Pelepasan dari Sungai Kurau
meningkatkan nilai konduktiviti, TSS, TP dan
NO2- akibat daripada air larian dan
hakisan, lalu merendahkan nilai kedalaman secchi, NO3-
dan NH4+. Kualiti air dikelaskan sebagai
Kelas II dan TSI menunjukkan bahawa BMR mempunyai
aras produktiviti pertengahan (mesotrofik)
dan memenuhi objektif takungan iaitu membekalkan air untuk pengairan
padi.
