Diatas Lake is one of the five lakes in the Province of West Sumatra, that requires special attention for its sustainability. A numerical hydrodynamic model of Diatas Lake is presented to observe the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), sulphide, chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate and total suspended sediment (TSS). The model used the surface-water modeling system (SMS), developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Field data acquisition, such as bathymetry, water level, and lake current velocity are carried out. The water samples are also collected. The model validation shows good agreement between field and model data. The water quality model is used to simulate the distribution of BOD, sulphide, COD, DO, phosphate and TSS concentration for one year. At the end of the simulated year, the BOD, COD, DO, phosphate and TSS concentration are still within a safe range, in accordance with the environmental government regulation. However, the sulphide concentration exceeds the safe regulatory range. For long-term environmental lake conservation, the use of fertilizer should be regulated and enforced.
