Description:
The complexity of the main organized parameters in water quality of aquatic is very diverse
then an instrument that is needed to reduce it by Factor Analysis (FA). This study aims to (1)
identified water quality profile in the study sites; (2) compared value’s of significance between
the study sites; (3) analyzed limiting factors of the water quality component in the Rawa Danau
Panggang (RDP) ecosystem. Data collection was conducted from July to December 2017, at
12 sampling sites. Sampling location from land use, ie Without Activity (TA) as STA 1, Reservat
(RV) using STA 2, Settlement (PM) for STA 3, Shepherd (PK) is STA 4. The mean difference
values between STA indicated that the brightness, currents, pH, NO3, PO4, BOD5, primary
productivity and DO have significantly different values. The used of 7 parameters (primary
productivity, DO, brightness, BOD5, pH and temperature) gave estimation value’s of eigen > 1
occur 3 main water quality limiting group. Results of factor analysis into 3 new components of
oxygen demand (consisting of productivity parameters, DO, brightness). Pollution with BOD5
and pH, even temperature.
