Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the preliminary water quality status of stream river on UiTM Pahang Branch, Jengka Campus based on the physicochemical and biological parameters. The sampling was conducted in rainy season with seven sampling points that were selected along the stream river lake. A total of 10 water quality parameters were measured and analyzed using standard methods. Malaysian Department of Environment Water Quality Index (DOE-WQI) was calculated and classified according to the National Water Quality Standard, Malaysia (NWQS). The physical and chemical variables were temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), salinity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solid (TSS), and ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N). Results show that base on Malaysian WQI, the water in this study area is classified as class III, which is common of economic value and tolerant species and safe for livestock drinking.
