A STUDY OF POTENTIAL SEWAGE DUMPING AT LUMUT PORT

Abstract

This research is a study about the relationship between potential sewage dumping and the quality of water. The water on proposed location are examined base on several parameters which is; pH value, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and salinity. This study focus on the selected location which is Lumut Port. Observation from this experiment is then collected and analyse using graphical method and comparison with World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The results shows the quality of water at Lumut Port was slightly pollute with acid water shows in the pH value parameter. There upon that, from the analysis it can be proved that those parameters of water quality is important to identify whether the location is pollute or not within the range of time.
