Danau Tempe functions as the main source of inland fishes to local communities
for both traditional and commercial fishing. Several rivers function as tributaries
to the lake, such as Sungai Tancung, Sungai Walanae, Sungai Warong, Sungai
Panincong, Sungai Batu-batu, Sungai Bilikka, Sungai Lasiratu and Sungai
Sunranae. The water from the lake and river are also used for household needs,
paddy field, livestock, electric power and others. The lake is also as a popular
nesting and feeding ground for water birds, some are migratory species.
The lake has a shallow bottom, mostly a result of sedimentation by soil erosion
from surrounding catchment areas. Due to the high nutrients inputs, invasive
floating plants, such as Eichhornia crassipes and Ipomoea are colonizing the lake
surface. This will cause a problem in a sustainability of the lake management.
Phragmites communis occupied large part of Danau Tempe (Tempe Lake), serves
as a good breeding habitat for fish . The 13,000 ha lake is famous for its fishing
activity.
