Indonesia has many wildfire incidents, especially in Sumatra. Because of that the purpose of this research is to understand the effect of the wildfire for the nutrient and chlorophyll in Indonesia specifically the water of Riau Islands Province. The research was held in 28 of June 2013 using the water sampling method. Beside of that, there are also using the remote sensing method for period 2003 to 2013 to know the variation of chlorophyll. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> From the result, it was obtained that the chlorophyll-a’s content is minimum in wet season (December-January) and maximum in dry season (June-August). The wind that blow in 19 to 28 of June 2013 was moved west to east with average velocity at 0.3 m/s and giving the impact for the spread of wildfire ashes in Riau Province. So the content of the nutrient has increased when wildfire happen compared when it hasn’t. From the remote sensing method, it was known that the chlorophyll-a’s content while wildfire occur increased compared when no wildfire, especially in June when dry season happen. Then the chlorophyll-a’s content was increased at 7-41% when wildfire occurred in May-June and decreased when the wildfire occurred in January-February. If we compare it with chlorophyll-a’s annual average, it was increased around 23-89% in June-July (Dry Season) and decreased around 44-50% in January-February (Wet Season).
