The objective is to analyze Klong Prem Prachakorn water quality and its water
management. A total of 10 parameters include pH, water temperature, turbidity, dissolved
oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD),
suspended solid (SS), total dissolve solid (TDS) and coliform bacteria were measured.
Water samples were taken from 3 sampling points along the length of the canal
between Bang Khen train station intersection and Wat Samian Nari intersection with a
total distance of 1.3 kilometers. Samplings were done weekly for 5 weeks started from
12th December 2013 to 15th January 2014.
The results from weekly monitoring of Klong Prem Prachakorn’s water quality
show that the values of each parameters being monitored are within the range of the
surface water quality standards. However,the reporting values may show weekly
fluctuation which may be resulting from relating environmental factors such as changing
temperature, the canal’s water volume and level (may results from the operation of the
floodgate by the Department of Drainage and Sewerage). Nevertheless, the values show
that the canal water is clean for surface water according to type 4 water quality and can
be used inindustrial sector.
This study on Klong Prem Prachakorn’s environmental condition has provided a
piece of knowledge that was appliedfor environmental problems’ corrective concepts and
guidelines. Furthermore, knowledge and information gathered in this study, together with
the use of a Geographical Information System (GIS), can be applied for ecological
conservation studies of the areas. This study contributes to an existing knowledge and
understanding of Klong Prem Prachakorn’s water quality problems and can be used to
support water quality improvement campaign | en_US |
