The mangrove ecosystem of Morosari Village, located in Sayung District, Demak Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, frequent experienced water pollution problems such as tidal flooding, abrasion and pollution due to anthropogenic activities. These problems can lead to further deterioration of water quality. This study aims to use epipelic diatoms to determine the ecological status of waters based on the diatom index in the coastal waters of Morosari Village, Central Java, Indonesia. Sampling was conducted at 3 sampling locations in July-December 2022. Samples from three stations were analyzed based on the diatom index using OMNIDIA software version 6.1.5 and RStudio Software for water quality. Four diatom water quality indices (IBD, IPS, IDG, and TDI index) were obtained percentage value of more than 70% of diatom species. The results of the analysis showed varied ecological status and water quality. Station 1 ranges from 10.9 to 5.2 which is categorized meso-eutrophic to eutrophic in terms of diatom species that dominate Fallacia pygmaea and Nitzschia clausii, Station 2 ranges from 14.3 to 6.9 which is categorized mesotrophic to eutrophic in terms of species Diatoma vulgaris and Thalassiosira pseudonana, and Station 3 ranges from 13.9 to 3.5 with diatom species dominating Cocconeis placentula and Nitzschia palea.

Warna and Pengilon Lakes are very close to each other and connected with the sill, a famous tourist destination in the Dieng Plateau Java. Land-use changes are the main problem that affected the lakes. The conversion of forest into an agricultural area had induced erosion and increased the volume of nutrients discharged to the lake due to high use of fertilisers in potatoes farms. In the dry seasons, water from those lakes was pumped to irrigate agricultural land. This study aimed to determine the water quality of Warna and Pengilon Lakes based on physical, chemical parameters, and phytoplankton communities. Water samples were collected from 4 sites at each lake to analyse biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and total nitrogen (TN). Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, and conductivity (EC) were measured in-situ. During this research, turbidity and BOD in Warna and Pengilon Lakes exceeded the Indonesian water quality standard. Based on the STORET method, the water quality of Lake Warna was assessed as highly polluted for all classes. However, based on the pollution index (PI), Lake Warna was slightly to moderately polluted, as well as the saprobic index was in the β-mesosaprobic phase. Based on the species diversity index of phytoplankton, both Warna and Pengilon Lakes were moderately polluted. The long-term monitoring studies are necessary as an early warning sign of water quality degradation. Therefore, they provide insight into the overall ecological condition of the lake and can be used as a basis for developing suitable lake management.

Gatal Lake is located in the Kotawaringin Lama District, West Kotawaringin Regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The government and the surrounding communities use Gatal Lake for recreation, irrigation, livestock, and fisheries. Geographically, Gatal Lake, is close to oil palm plantations and palm oil processing factories that contributed to water pollution, especially the pollutants originating from plantation activities in the form of largescale use of fertilizers and pesticides. This study aimed to determine the status of the water quality of Gatal Lake, Kotawaringin Lama based on the physicochemical parameters. The samples from five stations were analyzed based on the following parameters: temperature, TDS, TSS, pH, BOD, COD, DO, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, Pb, Cd, H2S, oil and grease, detergent, and phenol. The study was conducted using a purposive sampling method and determining the status of water quality based on Government Regulation No. 82/2001. The results of the physicochemical analysis of Gatal Lake showed that the water quality parameters which exceeded the water quality standards, are BOD (6.94 to 8.65 mg L), COD (9.58 to 15.7 mg/L), and DO (4.20 to 5.10 mg/L), while the parameters that did not exceed the water quality standards for Class I, II, III, and IV are temperature, TDS, TSS, pH, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, Pb, Cd, H2S, oils and fats, detergents and phenols. On the basis of the STORET method, the water quality of Gatal Lake for Class I, II, and III are included in the highly polluted category, and for Class IV is in the moderate category.
