Species Diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate and Application as Bioindicators of Water Quality in Nam Oun Reservoir, Sakon Nakhon Province
Abstract
The diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate species were investigated Nam Oun Reservoir, Sakon Nakhon Province during November 2013 through October 2014. The result showed that 14,139 Benthic Macroinvertebrate with 24 species with 22 families were discovered in the area. Aquatic insect orders Belostomatidae and Nepidae were equally the most abundance. Palaemonidae was the most abundance at 70.20 % followed by Ampullariidae, Coenagrionidae, Vivaparidae and Corbiculidae at 10.33 %, 6.04 %, 3.23 %, and 2.14 % respectively. The BMWPthai and ASTPthai could be applied for reservoir in Thailand and used to assess water quality. The research finding found that the score ASTPthai was at 4.82 indicated that the water quality was quite poor and was classified in surface water quality standards class 4. This class 4 was the fairly clean fresh surface water resources used for: consumption, but requires special water treatment process before using and industry. Therefore, the application of using Benthic Macroinvertebrate as bioindicators of water quality can be conducted by using BMWPthai and ASTPthai. In addition, the analysis and report were uncomplicated. This application could be developed and make it acceptable in the near future.
