| Summary: | This study is about suspended solids analysis in Sungai Maong Kiri. This area
is chosen because it has high population density. This analysis is to observe changing
of trend experienced by suspended solids. High suspended solids content in water
would result river to become cloudy and polluted. The suspended solid main source is
from erosion because of development and also from man-made pollution, discharge
waste water into the river. Apart from that, this study also tries to simulate water
quality model by using suspended solids parameter. That simulation will use 'Water
Analysis Simulation Programme 7 (WASP7) software. Besides WASP7 software, this
analysis could also be done by using 'Microsoft Excel'. At the same time, this study is
also to compare the suspended solids trend with the standard value. From comparison,
river classification can be determined. Based from the result, it is found in certain
years that suspended solids in Sungai Maong’s upstream are higher than the
downstream of the river. Suspended solids’ concentration values are high during early
and end of the year while lowest concentration value is recorded in the middle of the
year. This scenario probably is affected by the rain. Rain will cause the land to be
eroded and rain will carry the sediment into the river. As a conclusion, Sungai Maong
is classified as 11B class and unpolluted in term of total suspended solids. |
