Abstract

The study at Ph6isicochemical Properties at drinking water in UPMKB has been carried out on 13th and 20th October 2006. There are nine (9) parameters such as pH, Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen, Ammonia, Nitrate, Total Dissolved Solid, Temperature, Conductivity and Chloride. All the parameters were monitored at six (6) sampling stations which were Laku Pipe (SI), Reservoir water tank UPMKB (S2), Kolej Kediaman 2 Tank (S3), Kolej Kediaman 2 Sink (S4), Kolej Kediaman 1 Tank (S5) and Kolej Kediaman 1 Sink (S6). Each parameter has been analyzed using field measurement method which is Multi-parameter Troll 9500. The result shows the range for DO (8.23 ± 0.10 mg/L to 24 .94 ± 0.63 mg/L on 13th October 2006 and 8.91 ± 0.10 mg/L to 15.12 ± 0.63 mg/L on 20th October 2006) with the standard limit 10 mg/L, TDS (1.36± 0.01 ppm to 1.59 ± 0.01 ppm on 13th October 2006 and 1.35 ± 0.01 ppm to 1.51 ± 0.01 ppm on 20th October 2006) with the standard limit 1000 ppm, Turbidity (5.29 ± 0.48 NTU to 10.98 ± 2.75 NTU on 13th October 2006 and 0.00 ± 0.00 NTU to 0.98 ± 0.19 NTU on 20th October 2006 ) with the standard limit 5NTU and Chloride (0.93 ± 0.01 ppm to 0.99 ± 0.02 ppm on 13th October 2006 and 0.99 ± 0.01 ppm to 1.00 ± 0.01 ppm on 20th October 2006.) with standard limit 250ppm. The range for pH is 6.89±0.03 to 8.73 ± 0.01 at 13th October 2006 and 6.10 ± 0.03 to 8.29 ± 0.12 at 20th October 2006, for Conductivity is 2.16 ± 0.01 µSiem to 2.64 ± 0.01 µSiem at 13th October 2006 and 2.20 ± 0.02 µSiem to 2.52± 0.01 µSiem at 20th October 2006 and for Temperature is 28.60 ± 0.01 to 29.39 ± 0.01 at 13th October 2006 and 28.08 ± 0.01 to 29.52 ± 0.03 at 20th October 2006. There is no Ammonia and Nitrate been detected in the water. All parameters showing the positive result which were below the standard limit approved by WHO.
