Abstract

The study was carried out in Berring River Kelantan. The sampling location was established in the middle section of the river for collecting water samples. The study was carried out for a duration of two weeks in April 2001. The water sample was collected at 60 of the total depth from the river bed for every two hours starting from 6.00 am to 12.00 midnight for the whole duration of the study period. Eight water quality parameters were analyzed; pH electrical conductivity turbidity dissolved oxygen temperature suspended solid total dissolved solids and nitrate. Only suspended solids was analyzed in the laboratory at Universiti Putra Malaysia and other parameters were measured in-situ. The data collected in the field were compared to the Malaysian Interim Water Quality Standards and the results showed that the water quality status of the Berring River falls under Class I.
