Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine impact of input of nutrients from the catchment to the level of pollution of Lake Menjer Wonosobo. The method was carried out quantitatively by calculating the allocation of pollutant loads from human activities. The water quality status was assessed using the storet method. The highest total P entering Menjer Lake was respectively from agricultural activities, livestock, settlements, and floating net cages. The Menjer Lake was classified as heavily polluted for drinking water, moderately polluted for fish cultivation, and not polluted for irrigation needs.
