Abstract

Maninjau Lake is experiencing increased eutrophication levels, negatively impacting water quality and the balance of its aquatic ecosystems. One of the factors that is thought to play a role in accelerating the process is rainfall fluctuation, which affects nutrient input from the water catchment area. This study aims to analyze the effect of rainfall fluctuation on the trophic status of Maninjau Lake using the Carlson Trophic State Index (TSI) and Comprehensive Trophic State Index (CTSI) methods. Water sampling was conducted at 10 stations over three periods: September 2022, January 2023, and March 2023, which represented seasonal variations. The parameters measured included chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and Secchi depth according to national standards. Rainfall data were obtained from BMKG stations and correlated with trophic index values. Results showed TSI values ranged from 55–72 and CTSI between 60–75, indicating eutrophic to hypereutrophic conditions. The highest trophic status occurred in periods of high rainfall, with a strong positive correlation between rainfall intensity and nutrient increase (r = 0.999 for TSI; r = 0.989 for CTSI). Rainfall plays a role as the main hydrometeorological driver of trophic dynamics, so adaptive management is needed to mitigate the impact of eutrophication under climate variability.

Abstract

The high demand water for sanitation purposes in Engineering Faculty, Andalas University, particularly for toilet flushing systems, has not been balanced by utilization of sustainable alternative water sources. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate feasibility of rainwater quality as non-potable water source planned for implementation in the buildings of Engineering Faculty, Andalas University. The feasibility assessment refers to Regulation of Health Minister of Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2023. Rainwater samples collected directly from building roof downpipes, with three repetitions at the same location. The parameters of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and temperature were measured in situ using Lutron DO-5510 dissolved oxygen meter and portable pH meter, while turbidity, BOD, COD, TSS, and total coliform were analyzed at Environmental Engineering Department Laboratory of Andalas University using standard methods based on SNI 6989.57:2008 and US EPA Method 1699. The results indicate that pH, DO, temperature, BOD, COD, TSS, and turbidity comply with the established quality standards, whereas total coliform levels exceed the permissible limit. The presence of total coliform is presumably due to contamination from bird droppings on roof surfaces, particularly in areas surrounded by vegetation.
