Description
Summary:<p>This research was done to explain the status of the Tutupan River by measuring chlorophyll-a and determining the relation between chlorophyll-a and physical-chemical factors. <em>P</em><em>urposive sampling</em> method was used to determine water sampling, the measurement of enviromental factors as temperature, water velocity, water clarity, pH and DO, meanwhile parameters as TSS, BOD<sub>5</sub>, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate, was measured in laboratory. Analysis of chlorophyll-a was content used a spectrophotometer. Water samples were taken twice only at April and May, 2014. The results showed the amount of chlorophyll-a in April ranged between 0,13 and 0,77 mg / m³ and in May, it ranged from 0,02 and 0,08 mg / m³. Status of the Tutupan River quality are classified as <em>oligotrofi</em><em>c</em> or low fertility rates with chlorophyll-a content ranged from 0,02 to 0,77 mg / m³. The chlorophyll-a content only closely related to the water temperature in May, with correlatin factor 0,9.</p>
