Kecamatan Siak Hulu Kabupaten Kampar Provinsi Riau. Tujuan penelitian ini
adalah untuk menentukan status trofik Danau Sepinang Kecamatan Siak Hulu
Kabupaten Kampar Provinsi Riau berdasarkan indeks TSI. Penelitian ini dapat
berkelanjutan.
Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survei yaitu
dilakukan pada 3 stasiun dengan 2 titik sampling, yaitu permukaan dan kolom air.
Parameter utama kualitas air yang diukur adalah kecerahan, klorofil-a, dan total-P
interval waktu 1 minggu. Data yang diamati dalam penelitian ini ditabulasikan
dalam bentuk tabel, digambarkan dalam bentuk grafik dan selanjutnya dianalisis
secara deskriptif.
berkisar 49-63 cm, Total-P berkisar 0,19-0,35 mg/L, dan klorofil-a berkisar 4,32-
9,24 µg/L. Nilai TSI Danau Sepinang berkisar 65,13-69,09 atau status trofik
Danau Sepinang eutrofik sedang. Hasil pengamatan kualitas air pendukung
selama penelitian yaitu suhu ; 29-31 oC, pH ; 4,5-5,9 , oksigen terlarut ; 4,22-5,58

Abstract
Trophic State Index (TSI) can be used to determine the trophic state of waters.
The TSI was calculated based on chemical, biological and physical parameters
and it is more representative for analyzing the trophical state of waters. To
understand the trophic state of the Sepinang Lake, a research has been conducted
in March-April 2018. There were three sampling stations, namely Station 1 (inlet
area, from the Kampar River), Station 2 (in the middle of the lake), Station 3 (in
the end of the lake). In each station, there were two sampling points, in the surface
and in the middle of water column . Sampling were conducted 3 times, once/week.
Water quality parameter measured were chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus,
transparency, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and free carbon dioxide.
Trophic state was calculated based on Carlson’s Trophic State Index (TSI). The
water quality parameter values were as follows: transparency 49-63 cm, total
phosphorus 0.19-0.35 mg/L, chlorophyll-a 4.32-9.24 μg/L, temperature 29-31 oC,
pH 5.33-5.60, dissolved oxygen 4.22-5.60 mg/L, and free carbon dioxide 9.32-
15.98 mg/L. Trophic State Index value of the Sepinang Lake was 65.13-69.09, it
indicates that Sepinang lake water was eutrophic.
