Abstract:
Water parameters is an important to determine water quality. The aim of this study is
to identify the level of water quality at UniKL MIMET Shipyard in order to achieve the
aim of this research which to collect data of water quality parameters daily and to
measure water quality index level. For this study water sample were collected daily
during 01 April 2019 to 30 May 2019 (60 Days) and important water quality parameters
were analysed. Developing of equipment to collect water sample in three different
depths which is 0.5 meter, 1 meter and 1.5 meter at fixed place and weather condition
are considered the challenging part during the process of this research. The chosen
water parameter to analyse is pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO) and
total dissolved solid (TDS). It is found that the pH for all sample ranged from 7.4 to 8.4
whereas DO varied from 9.42 mg/L to 12.85mg/L, TDS is 4002p.p.m to 9795p.p.m,
while temperature range from 30°C to 34.6°C and salinity are revealed changeless in
value which between 23‰ to 24‰. Thus, the findings of this study revealed after
evaluation and analysis using selected Water Quality Index formula that the water
quality status in UniKL MIMET Shipyard is moderately polluted due to several maritime
activities surrounding the area.
