River Water Monitoring
The river water quality parameters measured are generally considered as the key parameters related to the monitoring of river water quality. Water quality data is used to determined the water quality status whether in a clean, slightly polluted or polluted category and to classify the rivers in Class I, II , III, IV or V based on Water Quality Index (WQI) in accordance to National Water Quality Standards for Malaysia.
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. TMDL studies utilizing field monitoring data and predictive models provide quantitative information to assists managers in making effective decisions to protect water quality. UiTM – A&A Laboratory have an experience and expertise in conducting the monitoring involving the site-specific stream survey (including in-situ measurements and flow rate measurements). The collections of sample were done in accordance to APHA procedure. The samples are being transported to our accredited laboratory for analysis.
