<![CDATA[ABSTRACTMany activities in the Pekak Lake contribute the input of organic and anorganic matter that affects the water quality, especially nutrient concentration in waters. A research aims to understand the trophic state of the Pekak Lake based on TSI has been conducted in March-April 2018. There were 3 stations, namely in the inlet, midle part of the lake and the end area of the lake. In each station,   there are 2 sampling points, in the surface (0.2 m) and 2 Secchi depth (0.75 m). Sampling were conducted 3 times, once/week. Water quality parameters measured were total phosphate, chlorophyll-a, transparancy, dissolved oxygen, CO2,pH and temperature. Results shown that the total phospate was 0.152-0.508 mg/L, chlorophyll-a 7.061-11.186 µg/L, transparency: 0.69-0.77 m, dissolved oxygen: 5.36-5.96 mg/L, CO2:8.81-16 mg/L, pH: 5, temperature: 27-30oC and TSI (Trophic State Index) value: 64.559-70.465. Based on TSI, the Pekak Lake can be categorized as moderate eutrophic-hypereutrophic.Keywords: Kampar River, Eutrophic-hypereurophic, Oxbow Lake, TSI]]>
