Abstract
A study focuses on the determination of the current water quality status of the reservoir was conducted in November 2018 and February 2019 as a representative for the wet and dry season, respectively, in order to assist the prediction of the water quality in BMR and its impact towards the ecosystem. Five sampling stations were chosen to provide a general overview of physico-chemical profile in BMR. Physico-chemical parameters (i.e.: temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total dissolved solids, pH, and water transparency) were measured in situ whereas in the laboratory, total suspended solids, chlorophyll-a, and nutrient analysis were done in accordance to APHA (2005). The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) were simulated in a graph using Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP).
