Lake water is important to all life and surroundings with multiples benefits and forms either in natural or man-made conditions. One of the most well-known tools for assessing the water quality is Water Quality Index (WQI) and widely used including Malaysia. Lake water quality should be represented in lucid way like other surface water regarding to the WQI standards for water quality assessment on lakes. This paper aims to review on lake water quality classification and its uses based on WQI standards in Malaysia. In this review, the uses of WQI for assessing the lake water and functioned of lakes are discussed. Results on pH from 5.0 to 9.2, BOD in mg/l from 0 to 180, COD in mg/l from 5 to 150, SS in mg/l from o to 1800, DO in mg/l from 0 to 8 and AN in mg/l N from -1 to 26. Variety of numbers is due to different loading of pollutions and location. With used of WQI on lake water quality assessments, further action can be taken for the uses on water resources by maintaining the quality. It also will broaden the uses of lake water as alternative of water resources in Malaysia.

Ciujung River is one of the important rivers in Banten Province and it is the main water supply for agriculture, industry and bathing. Due to extensive agricultural, urban, and industrial activities in the watershed of this ecosystem, some studies have assumed that the river is contaminated. But, there is no research related Ciujung River water quality with biological indicator and maping pollutant sources. The aim of this study is analyze : water quality of Ciujung River and influence of activities in Ciujung watershed to the water pollution in Ciujung River. Calculation Pollution Index (PI) and calculation chlorophyll-a abundance are adopted for water quality assessments. Water quality were analysed based on secondary data from BBWS C3 in January-May 2020. Chlorophyll-a abundance measured by Sentinel-2 imagery, water quality assessments result of each section presented in spasial data with GIS. Water quality map overlayed with land use map to indentify the influence of activities in Ciujung watershed to water pollution in Ciujung River. PI calculation results show that Ciujung River is moderately polluted, PI calculation result of each section is >5. Meanwhile, the abundance of chlorophyll-a can describe level of pollution in Ciujung River from biological parameters, the highest chlorophyll-a abundance is in Pamarayan (38,6) and the lowest chlorophyll-a abundance is in Jembatan Keong (18,6).

Abstract Landsat satellites, 5 and 7, have significant potential for estimating several water quality parameters, but to our knowledge, there are few investigations which integrate these earlier sensors with the newest and improved mission of Landsat 8 satellite. Thus, the comparability of water quality assessing across different Landsat sensors needs to be evaluated. The main objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of integrating Landsat sensors to estimate chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) in Río Tercero reservoir (Argentina). A general model to retrieve Chl-a was developed (R2 = 0.88). Using observed versus predicted Chl-a values the model was validated (R2 = 0.89) and applied to Landsat imagery obtaining spatial representations of Chl-a in the reservoir. Results showed that Landsat 8 can be combined with Landsat 5 and 7 to construct an empirical model to estimate water quality characteristics, such as Chl-a in a reservoir. As the number of available and upcoming sensors with open access will increase with time, we expect that this trend will certainly further promote remote sensing applications and serve as a valuable basis for a wide range of water quality assessments.
