The study of water quality mainly on salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen was carried out to strategize the pumping water intake to the desalination plant located at Pantai Senok Bachok Kelantan. The intake point was strongly influenced by seasonal variations of monsoon and drought as well as tidal conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen concentration at the plant intake in relation to rainfall impact. As a result the salinity concentration is extremely high during the dry season and high tide (28 to 31 ppt) while very low during the wet season and low tide (1 to 15 ppt). In contrast the ammoniacal nitrogen concentration is quite high during the wet season and low tide (0.10 to 0.30 mg/L) whereas rather low during the dry season and high tide (0.04 to 0.10 mg/L). In conclusion to overcome the above problems a balancing reservoir or tank should be installed to stabilize the salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen within the range of 15 to 24 ppt and below 0.15 mg/L respectively.

Abstract

The study of water quality mainly on salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen was carried out to strategize the pumping water intake to the desalination plant located at Pantai Senok Bachok Kelantan. The intake point was strongly influenced by seasonal variations of monsoon and drought as well as tidal conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen concentration at the plant intake in relation to rainfall impact. As a result the salinity concentration is extremely high during the dry season and high tide (28 to 31 ppt) while very low during the wet season and low tide (1 to 15 ppt). In contrast the ammoniacal nitrogen concentration is quite high during the wet season and low tide (0.10 to 0.30 mg/L) whereas rather low during the dry season and high tide (0.04 to 0.10 mg/L). In conclusion to overcome the above problems a balancing reservoir or tank should be installed to stabilize the salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen within the range of 15 to 24 ppt and below 0.15 mg/L respectively.
