Experimental Analysis On Quality Of Drinking Water in State of Perak

The complete analysis of drinking water samples have being carried out to
understand deeply on quality of water being consumed in different areas around Ipoh
and Seri Iskandar districts. The drinking water samples are taken from tab water in
residential area of Ipoh, Batu Gajah, Siputeh, Seri Iskandar and Tronoh where it is
used for drinking purpose and also from mineral water and reverse osmosis water.
The analyses of drinking water samples of different locations are conducted to
determine the physical properties and chemical properties such as temperature, pH
value, turbidity, conductivity and total suspended solid (TSS), total dissolved solid
(TDS) and heavy metals. Heavy metals analysis is carried out to determine the
concentration of different heavy metals present in the samples. There are two method
of analyzing water sample which is in-situ and experimental analysis. From this
study, it is shows that the entire water sample is within the safety level range set by
National Drinking Water Quality Standard (NDWQS) and World Health
Organization (WHO). This analysis is done to ensure the water safety level
parameters according to NDWQS and also WHO.
