The samples were taken at the river and been tested In-Situ by using YSI ProDSS Multimeter for certain parameters such as pH, Salinity, Temperature, Conductivity and Dissolved Oxygen contained tin the water sample and the remaining parameters tare conducted at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS lab to measure for BOD, TSS, COD and Ammonia. All the data gathered and were analyzed very precisely.
