Abstract

In this study, water quality of Hlaing River was monitored along the downstream reach during low flow periods and water samples were collected once a week during January and February. Stations for sample collection were fixed after site survey. There are altogether 14 stations to analyse water quality of the study river reach. The monitoring program includes collection of samples from seven locations along the river into which seven streams discharge. These samples were analysed for a number of water quality parameters such as temperature, total dissolve solid,  total suspended solid, Conductivity, Salinity, pH, BOD, COD and Arsenic. The results of water quality parameters showed significant variation in water quality of the river and the water quality monitoring data were compared to the water quality standards for different uses. It is found that water quality of Hlaing River deteriorates and doesn’t meet the requirements for conserving of living environment due to the pollution from the tributary streams which received wastewater from adjacent industrial zones and newly Satellite town.

Abstract

This study aimed to characterize and access the existing water quality of the two popular lakes (Kandawgyi Lake and Innya Lake) in Yangon, Myanmar. The water samples were collected from different locations of the lakes and inlet points of the lakes. The collected samples were analyzed for different physical and chemical parameters such as oxygen demand, nutrient concentrations, solids, and alkalinity. In order to access the state of the lake’s water quality, the samples were compared with standard water quality values. Most of the water quality parameters of the inlet points were found to be above the standard water quality values in both lakes. Biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand are also much greater than the limit of the compared standard (especially in inlet drain waters). It was found that continuous polluted water drains from catchment area to main inlets of both lakes. Algae blooming can be seen visually in Kandawgyi Lake , in which water quality is more deteriorated than Innya Lake. This paper will serve as a baseline data which could be used for water quality monitoring and evaluation of the lake.
