Saguling Reservoir is highly eutrophic due to a large nutrient load from Bandung city. Improving water quality requires improved sewage and industrial discharge controls for this vital water body.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Limnology
  • Water Quality Management

Background:

  • Saguling Reservoir, completed in 1985 on the Citarum River, is the first in a chain of three reservoirs.
  • The reservoir is heavily polluted by domestic and industrial effluent from Bandung, a city of 2 million people.
  • Significant water quality issues include excessive aquatic plant growth, toxic cyanobacterial blooms, and fish kills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify nutrient inputs and behavior within Saguling Reservoir.
  • To establish a preliminary nutrient budget for the reservoir.
  • To contribute to a collaborative Indonesia-Australia research project on reservoir nutrient dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a preliminary nutrient budget.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Quantification of nutrient loads entering the reservoir.
  • Analysis of pollution sources, including urban effluent and industrial discharge.

    • Main Results:

    • Saguling Reservoir receives a substantial nutrient load, primarily from the city of Bandung.
    • The reservoir is characterized as highly eutrophic.
    • The current pollution levels severely impact the reservoir's ecosystem and water quality.

    Conclusions:

    • The high nutrient load from Bandung is the primary driver of Saguling Reservoir's eutrophication.
    • Significant improvements in water quality are contingent upon comprehensive urban sewage management and industrial discharge controls.
    • Addressing pollution at its source is critical for the ecological restoration of Saguling Reservoir.
