The study focused on the general condition of freshwater. Water quality analyzed by physical, chemical, and biological parameter. The abundance and, diversity of plankton were analyzed by Shannon Wiener diversity index (H'). Nitrogen and phospoms ratio was counted to get the main limited factor of water organism growth, and double linier regression analysis to know the relation of physical, chemical, and biological parameter. Physical and chemical of water quality showed tllat the condition of freshwater has been polluted in middle range. It caused by domestically waste water and soil erotion which causing superficial in some region. The indicator of the middle polluted level Situ Citayam is guessed from the mesosaprobic organism which found out, it consists of Brachionus, Oscillatoria, ~Melosira. Scenedesn~ us, Pediastrunr, Vorticella, and Spirogym. All the matters supported by index diversity of Shannon Wier in range between 1,12 to 1,30. Nitrogen and pl~osporus ratio counted show that the main limited factor of water organism growth in the situ was phosporus. The result of double linier regression analysis described a very close relation between the physical. chemical, and the biological parameter as well.
