This paper reports the water quality of Murum Hydroelectric Reservoir, eight months after impoundment of the dam. A total of nine stations were selected in the reservoir. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chlorophyll-a and total suspended solids (TSS) were studied. The results showed that the water was warmer at 0.5 m depth. As the depth increased, temperature in the reservoir decreased in the range of 4.40°C to 7.35°C from 0.5 to 20 m depth. The concentration of DO dropped to zero at 4 - 6 m depth leading to anoxic level. pH at 0.5 m depth ranged from 6.40 to 7.20 and they were significantly higher (p |
