Evaluasi Kapasitas Waduk Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis

Bengkalis State Polytechnic is a vocational higher education institution located in Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. As an institution that continues to grow, it has seen an increase in the number of students and teaching staff, as well as in academic and non-academic activities across the campus. Water is essential for daily operations, serving needs ranging from sanitation and laboratory or field practical work to building operations and the functioning of various campus facilities.The research methodology involves field surveys, including closed-traverse surveying, contour mapping, and bathymetric measurements. The collected data are processed to generate topographic maps and establish elevation- area-volume (H-A-V) relationships.
Volume calculations are performed using numerical methods—
specifically, the average-area and trapezoidal methods. Calculation results indicate that the reservoir's actual capacity is lower than its initial state, meaning
its water-holding capacity has diminished due to changes in the morphology of the reservoir bed.
