Saguling Reservoir is one of the most large reservoir which received its load pollution from Citarum watershed. Many activities either industrial, household and agricultural use materials containing heavy metals Hg, Pb and Cd in production process dumped into waters without any wastewater treatments, that causing water quality of the reservoir decrease. Analysis of heavy metals Hg, Pb and Cd in Saguling reservoir was done by atomic absorption method and the distribution of metals in waters was used software Ocean Data View. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals Hg, Pb and Cd were exceeded the standard quality with the levels of heavy metals Pb>Hg>Cd.
