| description | Ecological approach performs in several ways to solve various environmental issues through human involvement in
daily life. Through rapid development in big cities such as Kuala Lumpur, a massive river pollution occurs in the urban
area resulting from anthropogenic activities carried out by the local community. This paper focuses on finding the
potential ecological approach in waterway treatment. In order to achieve the aim, which is to determine and
recommend the ecological approach for a pristine and healthy river in an urban environment, three objectives are
identified. They are mainly to identify the activities conducted in the river area, to identify the condition and existing
pollutant in the river and to examine the ecological approach to solve waterway issues and balance the river’s
ecosystem. To achieve the aim of the study, a fieldwork was conducted along Sungai Penchala. The data obtained for
this study are mainly from primary and secondary sources. The method employed for this research is a mixture of both
qualitative and quantitative methods, which is also known as mixed methods. Observations, samplings and experiments
have been conducted at three checkpoints along the river. The expected outcome in this study are the existing condition
and the type of pollutant in the river. Sewage, manufacturing and industrial sectors are the sources of the metal
pollution. Meanwhile, the sedimentation is caused by the urban development in Sungai Penchala. The results from the
experiments conducted will indicate the level of Water Quality Index (WQI) to which the local community and
authority need to be aware of. Through this study, the ecological approach as the solution for waterway treatment in
the existing polluted river has been identified. It will certainly give benefits to both the environment and the local
community in solving the issues and enhancing the existing condition of the river. |
