Abstract:

Abstract Decreases in the abundance and diversity of stream fishes in the North American Great Plains have been attributed to habitat fragmentation, altered hydrological and temperature regimes, and elevated levels of total dissolved solids and total suspended solids. Pelagic-broadcast spawning cyprinids, such as the Arkansas River Shiner Notropis girardi, may be particularly vulnerable to these changing conditions because of their reproductive strategy. Our objectives were to assess the effects of temperature, total dissolved solids, and total suspended solids on the developmental and survival rates of Arkansas River Shiner larvae. Results suggest temperature had the greatest influence on the developmental rate of Arkansas River Shiner larvae. However, embryos exposed to the higher levels of total dissolved solids and total suspended solids reached developmental stages earlier than counterparts at equivalent temperatures. Although this rapid development may be beneficial in fragmented waters, our data suggest it may be associated with lower survival rates. Furthermore, those embryos incubating at high temperatures, or in high levels of total dissolved solids and total suspended solids resulted in less viable embryos and larvae than those incubating in all other temperature, total dissolved solid, and total suspended solid treatment groups. As the Great Plains ecoregion continues to change, these results may assist in understanding reasons for past extirpations and future extirpation threats as well as predict stream reaches capable of sustaining Arkansas River Shiners and other species with similar early life-history strategies.

Abstract:

Most of the groundwater in the Pasirlimus village area is yellow, which is thought to have the turbidity level exceeding the threshold, so it is necessary to treat it so that the ground water meets the requirements for clean water quality. Groundwater is treated using a slow sand filter reactor with a single zeolite sand filter media with variations in the diameter of the sand measuring 0.1 - 0.25 mm, 0.25 - 0.5 mm and 0.5 - 1.0 mm. This type of research is quantitative with experimental instruments. The sampling technique in this study was grab sampling with sampling based on the diameter of the zeolite in the filter reactor and then the sample was tested in the laboratory. Based on the results of laboratory analysis, the percentage reduction in turbidity, total dissolved solids, and total suspended solids using variations in the diameter of the zeolite filtration media 0.1 - 0.25 mm, 0.25 - 0.5 mm, 0.5 - 1.0 mm in the reactor diameter 0.1 - 0.25 mm 94% of turbidity parameters , 90% total suspended solids parameter, 90% total suspended solid. Media diameter 0.25 - 0.5 mm is 64% turbidity, while Total Disolved Solids is 84% â€‹â€‹and total suspended solid is 73%. 1.0 - 2.0 mm is 10% turbidity, while total dissolved solids is 16% and total suspended solid is 14% and the coefficient of determination (R2) of turbidity using a variation of diameter at a concentration of 283 NTU is 0.9996, TDS at a concentration of 791 mg / L is 0.9134, TSS at a concentration of 82 mg / L is 0.9722.

Abstract:

Nowadays, drinking water is present in a very lesser amount all over the world. Its price is very high and water consumption would be more for construction purpose. Hence, it is good way to use bore water for construction purpose. Because its presence is comparatively higher than drinking water. In this work, different water samples are collected from various industries such as Dye, Pepsi and Coco-cola industry. If industrial waste water is exposed to the ground it may infiltrate into the ground and contaminate the water. So, it is important to check the quality of water by conducting different experimental tests such as pH, Total solids, Total fixed solids, Total volatile solids, Total dissolved solids, Suspended solids and Chloride before using the collected water samples in concrete. From all of the above tests, it is found that the water sample collected from the Dye industry is found to be better for using in the construction work. Other two industries are not within the permissible limit.

Abstract:

The Colorado River is a principal source of water for 40 million people and farmlands in seven states in the western US and the Republic of Mexico. The river has been under intense pressure from the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities associated with population growth leading to elevated total dissolved solid (TDS) and total suspended solid (TSS) concentrations. Elevated TDS- and TSS-related issues in the basin have a direct negative impact on the water usage and the ecological health of aquatic organisms. This study, therefore, analyzed the spatiotemporal variability in the TDS and TSS concentrations along the river. Results from our analysis show that TDS concentration was significantly higher in the Upper Colorado River Basin while the Lower Colorado River Basin shows a generally high level of TSSs. We found that the activities in these two basins are distinctive and may be a factor in these variations. Results from the Kruskal–Wallis significance test show there are statistically significant differences in TDSs and TSSs from month to month, season to season, and year to year. These significant variations are largely due to seasonal rises in consumptive use, agriculture practices, snowmelts runoffs, and evaporate rates exacerbated by increased temperature in the summer months. The findings from this study will aid in understanding the river’s water quality, detecting the sources and hotspots of pollutions to the river, and guiding legislative actions. The knowledge obtained forms a strong basis for management and conservation efforts and consequently helps to reduce the economic damage caused by these water quality parameters including the over USD 300 million associated with TDS damages.

Abstract:

It is important for the industry to develop its own wastewater treatment system before discharging the effluent in order to meet the M.P. State Pollution control Board  standards. Reduction of pollutants in the wastewater down to permissible concentrations is necessary for the protection of ground water and the environment. In order to design an appropriate treatment system the characteristic of the wastewater generated need to be found out with reference to the following parameters;  pH, chloride, total suspended solids (TSS), suspended  solids (SS),total dissolved solids (TDS), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD).

Abstract:

Physical and chemical parameters monitored at eight locations in Challawa Industrial Estate, Kano were analyzed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to extract the factors associated with the tannery effluents pollution variability and to obtain the spatial and temporal changes in the effluent quality. Temperature, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, conductivity, chloride, sulphide, alkalinity, biochemical oxygen demands and chemical oxygen demands were the main patterns extracted. The spatial analysis isolated six sampling sites showing a possible point source of pollution. Six of the properties (temperature, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, sulphide, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand) exceed apparent standard limit for industrial effluent discharge in Nigeria for most of the tanneries. Treatments of these effluents are also recommended before discharge.

Abstract:

Surface water quality models can be helpful devices to reproduce and anticipate the levels, dispersion, and rick of substance toxins in a given water body. Water quality is considered as a major issue in numerous urban areas of agricultural nations. Surveying the water quality list and physical-synthetic boundaries for the surface water of the current work is pointed. For a physical-compound investigation, surface water tests of chosen different area were gathered. For calculating the present water quality index status the following quality parameters were considered: PH, Total dissolved solids, Total suspended solids, BOD, DO, COD, alkalinity, Turbidity. The present study is concentrated on the surface water quality index by using GIS software. The study also reveals that the surface water quality is highly deteriorated due to anthropogenic activities such as urbanization, construction activities, and agricultural activities, discharge of untreated sewage and disposal of solid waste directly into surface water.

Abstract:

Abstract The estuaries of Banten Bay have sandy sediment, and their main activity is fisheries. In order to maintain fishery productivity, good water quality is required. The sandy sediment in this location can affect water conditions at the point of the residue content. This study aims to reveal solids content in the estuaries of Banten Bay. A survey was conducted in four estuaries, namely Karangantu, Wadas, Cengkok, and Pamong. TDS were measured in situ in April and October 2021. TSS was analyzed in May, July, and October 2013, as well as in April and October 2021. Other physical and chemical parameters were analyzed in the laboratory or in situ. The results were compared with the standard for sea aquatic biota. Furthermore, the regression method was used to determine the correlation of TSS and TDS with other parameters. The physical and chemical parameters that affect TDS and TSS were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results show that TSS correlated with Oxidative Reductive Potential (ORP) and turbidity. PCA showed that TSS correlated with TDS, nitrate, ammonium, ORP, water depth, and water current. Although TSS exceeded the threshold, sufficient dissolved oxygen and higher nutrient still maintained water quality for fisheries in four estuaries.

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to show how the characteristics of tap water influences the characteristics of the greywater generated from kitchen, bath shower, wash basin, and laundry apart from the usage pattern. Various quantitative techniques have been used to measure pH, alkalinities, hardness, total solids, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, chloride, and electrical conductivity of greywater and tap water. The study shows that greywater generated from the laundry is more polluted as compared to greywater from other sources, which is due to body fluids. The presence of food particles gives a high level of total suspended solids in the greywater coming from the kitchen. The greywater generated from brushing has a low pollution level and lower quantity of total solids, total suspended solids and total hardness as compared to greywater from other sources. The BOD levels for the greywater samples collected are in the range of 2.5 -20.25 mg/L and their quality is also affected by the quality of tap water. These findings show that greywater generated in residential buildings of Jeddah can be reused for non-potable purposes with simple and inexpensive physical treatment at individual buildings.

Abstract:

Efficiency in removing particulate matter from Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp culture effluent was assessed in laboratory scale employing sedimentation and oysters Crassostrea gigas and C. rhizophorae filtration processes. Cylindroconical tanks (100 L) were used in duplicate for sedimentation and 50-L in triplicate for oyster filtration. Fifteen oysters of each species weighing 76-80 g were stocked in each of the filtration treatment experimental units (biomass of 1065 - 1174 g oyster per unit). The control treatment was a tank similar to those used in the filtration treatment but with empty oyster shells. Hydraulic retention time of the effluent was of 6 hours in each treatment. First, effluent went through sedimentation, and then the supernatant went through the filtration tanks. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, turbidity, total suspended solids, total volatile solids, chlorophyll a and BOD5 were evaluated. During sedimentation and filtration, temperature, pH, salinity and dissolved oxygen concentration remained stable. Sedimentation removed 18, 5.6, 27.5, 45.40 and 23.2% of turbidity, total suspended solids, total volatile solids, chlorophyll a and BOD5, respectively. Chlorophyll a and BOD5 after sedimentation presented significant difference (P<0.05) from the farm crude effluent. For the filtration treatment, C. rhizophorae was more efficient removing 62.1, 70.6, 36.1, 100 and 17.2% of turbidity, total suspended solids, total volatile solids, chlorophyll a and BOD5, respectively, whereas C. gigas removed 56.3, 41.2, 27.8, 51.4 and 8.0% of the same parameters. Statistically comparing C. rhizophorae and C. gigas performances, there were differences (P<0.05) in removing total suspended solids, total volatile solids and chlorophyll a.

Abstract:

The hydrochemical characteristics of water objects, including lakes and a number of streams and rivers as well as technogenic sedimentation tanks located in the areas of placer gold mining have been studied. Total dissolved solids, contents of individual ions, total hardness (TH), total suspended solids (TSS), and acidic pH have been determined. Lake water is ultra-fresh with total dissolved solids of 15.08-52.6 mg/l. Increased values of this parameter have been found in lakes located in the Berelekh River valley, where gold placers are being developed. Water bodies from placer mining sites are characterized by increased total dissolved solids (up to 394 mg/l) and total hardness (average = 2.20 mg-eq/l). In some reservoirs, low pH, high levels of ammonia, and iron exceeding ecologically admissible values have been established.

Abstract:

This study was done to assess the physical-chemical properties of some boreholes in Pangani, Dandora and Kayole in Nairobi County, to assess the content of some heavy metals in some boreholes in Pangani, Dandora and Kayole and to determine the bacteriological quality of the water. These were checked for compliance as per the World Health Organization’s guideline values. Borehole water samples were collected from Dandora, Kayole and Pangani. Water parameters determined included electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, pH, fluoride, chloride, ammonia, nitrate, Escherichia-coli, total count and analysis of some selected heavy metal ions. The measurements of pH, fluoride, and electrical conductivity were made by an ion-selective electrode. The determinations of total dissolved solids and total suspended solids were made by the gravimetric method. The titration method was used to quantify chloride, while ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer was used to measure ammonia and nitrate. E. coli and total counts were ascertained by the biological method. Heavy metals were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. All boreholes met the guideline values of WHO with regard to pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, chloride and ammonia. Total suspended solids were found to be above the recommended limits of WHO. Nitrate values in all the borehole conformed to the WHO guidelines. Escherichia coli conformed to WHO guideline except at Pangani Borehole 2. Total coliforms did not conform to the set WHO limit values. The concentration of zinc conformed with the set limit values except that of Pangani Borehole 1, Pangani Borehole 2 and Pangani Borehole 3. Concentrations of lead and cadmium in all the boreholes did not conform to the WHO guideline values. It is recommended that the boreholes at Dandora, Kayole and Pangani should not be used for drinking by humans since these heavy metal ions found in the boreholes have a detrimental effect on human health.

Abstract:

Natural plant materials are cost effective and environmentally friendly; they do not produce poisonous secondary by-products and therefore cannot result to climate change. They are also locally available and readily implementable. These characteristics makes them potential alternative to aluminium sulphate and other chemicals in water coagulation. In this Project work, the effect of the performance of granulated groundnut as a coagulant for water treatment was aimed and the specific objectives were to fabricate a jar tester, study the effect of selected parameters such as the effect of speed, dose and time on the coagulation process, analyze the chemical composition of groundnut, and evaluate the performance of the granulated groundnut as coagulant in reduction of total suspended solid in turbid water. This was done by conducting laboratory test for total suspended solids in turbid water. Total suspended solids in turbid water sample were measured before and after the Jar testing using varying doses of groundnut extracts by using portable instruments. The experiments were carried out with coagulant dosage of 20 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml respectively. Total dissolved solids removal efficiency of groundnut obtained from this study was 80.00% at a dosage of 0.9mg/l. Groundnut thus exhibited high efficiency in removing Total Suspended Solids. Also, Regression test was done using Excel software and Data Fit software to obtain an equation to study the relationship between selected parameters such as the effect of speed, dose and time on the coagulation process and it was concluded from the equation obtained that the total suspended solid in turbid water produced was reduced best at the reliability (R2) value gotten as 0.9839 which indicates that granulated groundnut when used as a coagulant in removal of total suspended solids will be 98.39% efficient.

Abstract:

This study evaluates the physical, chemical and heavy metal properties of the Ovwian Section of Udu River, Delta State, Nigeria with a view of ascertaining the water quality and establishing the correlation with national and international standards and activities around the water body. The physicochemical properties analyzed include pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total solids, total suspended solids, biological oxygen demand, salinity, alkalinity, total hardness amongst others. Some of the heavy metals studied include copper, chromium, iron, zinc, manganese and lead. The mean temperature (25.92±0.50oC), total dissolved solid (mean concentration - 22.53±5.46 mg/L), electrical conductivity (35.27±8.60 µS/cm), dissolved oxygen (mean concentration of 7.23±0.31 mg/L), biological oxygen demand (mean concentration - 2.01±0.84 mg/L), total hardness, nitrates (mean concentration - 1.06±0.52 mg/L), sulphate (mean sulphate concentration - 13.90±0.86 mg/L) and total alkalinity (8.00 mg/L - 12.00 mg/L) values were found to be within the permissible limits of WHO and FEPA. On the other hand, the total suspended solid (7.09 mg/L), turbidity (mean concentration - 34.54±14.18 NTU), pH and total coliforms were above the permissible limits of the regulatory agencies used in the study. Among the heavy metals present, Lead showed a very high concentration above the tolerance limit of WHO and FEPA. The result shows that some level of pollution is associated with the Ovwian section of the Udu River and adequate treatment is thus recommended before it can be used for any purpose.

Abstract:

Effluent wastes from mining operations and beneficiation processes are comprized mostly of the following pollutants: total suspended solids (TTS), alkalinity or acidity (pH), settleable solids, iron in ferrous mining, and dissolved metals in nonferrous mining. Suspended solids consist of small particles of solid pollutants that resist separation by conventional means. A number of dissolved metals are considered toxic pollutants. The major metal pollutants present in ore mining and beneficiation waste waters include arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. Tailings ponds are used for both the disposal of solid waste and the treatment of waste-water streams. The supernatant decanted from these ponds contains suspended solids and, at times, process reagents introduced to the water during ore beneficiation. Leakage of material from tailings pond into groundwater is one possible source of water pollution in the mining industry. Percolation of waste-water from impoundment may occur if tailings ponds are not properly designed. This paper addresses potential groundwater pollution due to effluent from mining activities, and the possible remediation options.

Abstract:

Eutrophication of Anambra River in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria was carried out. Water samples were collected from five different sampling points in the river designated as A, B, C, D and E. Sample point A was upstream, Sample point B was downstream, while Sample points C, D and E were points of waste discharge. The water quality parameters assessed were colour, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total solids, potassium, dissolved oxygen, iron, phosphate and nitrate. The result of analysis revealed the degree of eutrophication of the river. There were variations in the level of the parameters measured across the sampling points. The parameters varied between 1.04 – 3.26 units, 1.21 – 4.64NTU, 12.31 – 32.48 mg/l, 1.27 – 8.10 mg/l ,1.43 – 3.86 mg/l, 2.70 -11.96 mg/l, 3.00 -16.84 mg/l, 1.00 – 3.01 mg/l, 1.21 – 3.74 mg/l, 0.02 – 0.30 mg/l, and 0.02– 0.08 mg/l. for colour, conductivity, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total solids, potassium, dissolved oxygen, iron, phosphate, nitrate, faecal coliform and total coliform respectively. All the parameters met the WHO standard for drinking water. However, nitrate and phosphate values exceeded the critical concentrations of 0.3 mg/l and 0.01 mg/l respectively, said to trigger eutrophication if exceeded. The result further revealed that sampling point E (Point of Waste discharge) recorded the highest concentrations of the parameters while sampling point A (Upstream) recorded the least. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlation between some of the parameters. Since detergents constitute a major source of phosphate in rivers, legislation against the use of phosphate in detergents was recommended.

Abstract:

Abstract Total Suspended Soil (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) refer to materials in the form of sediment and organic substances suspended and dissolved in water which are used as water quality parameters to understand sediment transport, the health of aquatic ecosystems, and technical problems. Concentrations in significant amounts in water areas can be caused by the dynamics of the earth’s surface and human activities, the resulting negative impacts will reduce the quality of the ecological system and indicate the presence of pollutants. This research was conducted to determine the concentration of Total Suspended Soil (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) in estuary waters at Cipatujah Beach, West Java, Indonesia using remote sensing satellite imagery, namely Sentinel-2A. The research carried out focused on testing samples for Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) content, which is one indicator of the level of water pollution that is often analyzed. From the results of sample tests carried out using a TDS meter, it shows that the TDS content in Cipatujah Beach is above 400 ppm so it is not suitable for use as drinking water, and further laboratory tests need to be carried out to determine the TSS content in Cipatujah Beach water.

Abstract:

Abstract A coagulant is a chemical needed by water to help settle small particles that cannot settle on their own. Meanwhile, total suspended solids (TSS) result from filter dissolved solids by gravity deposition, usually in chloride particles, and indicate the sedimentation rate. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of bio coagulants to reduce levels of total suspended solids (TSS) in liquid tofu waste to find out which one is more effective as a bio coagulant in liquid tofu waste. This research is experimental, consisting of 2 stages: the manufacture of charcoal from bio coagulants and the measurement of total suspended solids (TSS) levels. The data collected were tabulated and then analyzed descriptively. Three types of bio coagulants used were tamarind seeds, coffee husks, and cocoa pods. The results showed that there was a decrease in the TSS value before and after coagulation was given. The highest TSS reduction was obtained from bio coagulant charcoal from cocoa pods which reached 54.28% for a coagulant dose of 2 mg/l, while for a coagulant dose of 5 mg/l it could reduce TSS by 70.71%. It means the cocoa pods waste have a potential to use as coagulant to control sedimentation in the environment.

Abstract:

The Obizi River in the Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State was examined physically and chemically to evaluate its contamination level and suitability for home use. It is important for recreational, fishing, cooking, drinking, and other applications. Its typical applications for drinking, cooking, fishing, recreational activities and other uses are limited since it flows through a canal that might be contaminated by industrial, agricultural, and other human activities. Nitrate mg/l, nitrite mg/l, magnesium mg/l, zinc mg/l, total dissolved solid (TDS) mg/l, hardness mg/l, sulphate mg/l, phosphate mg/l, alkalinity mg/l, acidity mg/l, sodium mg/l, biological oxygen demand (BOD) mg/l, chemical oxygen demand (COD) mg/l, total suspended solid (TSS) mg/l, TS mg/l, oxygen demand (OD) mg/l, and potassium mg/l are among the parameters that were evaluated. Total dissolved solids (TSS) were calculated as the difference between total solids and total dissolved solids. The zinc and nitrate elements within the samples were measured using the ultraviolet (UV) VIS spectrophotometric method. Sulphate was determined turbidimetrically by the absorption spectrophotometry. Magnesium content, total hardness, and alkalinity were measured through titration. TDS (mg/L) was measured with a Multi-Meter (HI 991300, Hanna Equipments, Romania), potassium and sodium ions were assessed by flame photometric technique, chemical oxygen demand (COD) was identified photometrically using the SpectroQuant Nova 60 COD cell test (Merck) in the range of 10 – 150 mg/L. Biological oxygen demand (BOD) was determined using the OxiDirect BOD system and total suspended solids (TSS) was calculated as the difference between total solids and total dissolved solids. Phosphates were measured using the ascorbic acid method, total solids were estimated gravimetrically, and oxygen demand (OD) was measured on-site using a dissolved oxygen meter JENWAY-3405 (Manufacturer: Barloworld Scientific Ltd., England). To find out if the results were significant or not, the parameters were subjected to an ANOVA single factor analysis. The analysis's conclusion was that the data were statistically not significant. Since nitrate and OD were above the World Health Organization's (WHO) limit while most other physicochemical parameters were below it, the ANOVA result showed that there was no significant difference between the physicochemical characteristics of the water samples. With the exception of nitrite and OD, which are above the WHO limit for domestic drinking water and other purposes, it was discovered that the majority of the physicochemical parameters fell within the organization's water quality standards for these purposes. As a result, the water quality is not good and should not be drunk unless treated.

The objective of this paper was to investigate the influence of surface runoff and human activities on the seasonal characterization of physicochemical properties o of the upper segment of Qua Iboe River Water, Niger Delta, Nigeria, using the protocols described in standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater. The values of physicochemical parameters assessed in water samples gave the following ranges: Water Temperature (22.0-31.6 oC), Dissolved Oxygen (1.5-7.42 mg/L), Total Dissolved Solids (48.6-130.6 mg/L), Electrical Conductivity (72.5-195.0 mg/L), Turbidity (5.14-48.0 NTU), Sulphate (42.8-158.3 mg/L), Nitrate (1.76-17.48 mg/L),Phosphate (1.85-17.95 mg/L), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (0.62-6.51 mg/L), Chloride (22.29-80.36 mg/L) and Total Suspended Solids (22.1-91.5 mg/L). The mean values of Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate and Biochemical Oxygen Demand in wet season exceeded the standard limits while Turbidity, Phosphate and Total Suspended Solids in both seasons exceeded the standard limits. ANOVA at P < 0.05 reveals significant variation in some parameters between the seasons. The findings revealed that surface runoff and anthropogenic activities influence the concentrations of some parameters.

Abstract:

The quality of the surface water (rivers) around Warri metropolis was evaluated using Water Quality Index (WQI) techniques. The study was carried out to assess the suitability of the water samples collected from different river bodies’ around Warri metropolis. The water quality index (WQI) was determined based on their various physico-chemical parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total dissolves solids, total suspended solids, sulphates, nitrates, phosphates, chlorides, turbidity, biochemical oxygen demanded. The water quality indexes values obtained varied greatly from 110.12 to 821.5. The result is quite high due to high turbidity (9mg/l – 119mg/l) and total suspended solid (10mg/l – 124mg/l). The presence of faecal coliform in the various water bodies is very alarming which ranges from 2 – 16 cfu against the stated standard of nil by most regulatory agencies and as such may pose detrimental health effect when consumed by individuals within those areas if not properly treated. This may be due to poor waste management practice along the rivers course. To avert this process, effective waste management and control along the water course should be encouraged.

Abstract:

Monitoring catchment water quality is crucial for maintaining safe water resources and supporting effective conservation and management strategies. This study evaluates stormwater quality in the Upper Rasau Catchment, located within the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve (AHFR) in Klang Valley, Malaysia, under both baseflow and stormflow conditions. Key water quality parameters, including dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and temperature, were measured across 189 samples collected during 11 storm events between September 20, 2023, and February 24, 2024. The findings reveal that river responses were influenced by rainfall intensity, with most discharges occurring approximately 30 minutes after rainfall, highlighting the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve’s ability to regulate water storage and flow. Descriptive analyses and classification based on the National Water Quality Standards (NWQS) indicated that Upper Rasau’s water quality typically falls under Class I, even during storm events, although pH levels dropped to Class III/IV during two storm events. Pearson’s correlation and simple linear regression analyses showed significant relationships between discharge and water quality parameters, and pollution load calculations estimated the total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS) produced during each storm event. Overall, the study suggests a significant improvement in the water quality of Upper Rasau, reflecting over 60 years of ecological recovery.
