Groundwater Source

Sources of clean water are decreasing due to rapid usage, contaminated surface waters, pollution and dry season. The dependence on the existing water source is not enough to fulfil the increasing demand of population in Malaysia. In order to overcome the problem, groundwater source is the most suitable alternative. 2-D resistivity method was carried out in a granitic area of Kluang, Johor to delineate and locate groundwater resource. 5 survey lines were conducted by using ABEM SAS4000 terrameter and electrode selector which were connected to 41 electrodes through lund cables. Pole-dipole array was chosen in this study for deeper penetration. Collected data were processed by using RES2DINV software to produce inversion model which was then exported to Surfer8 software for visualisation and interpretation. The result shows that most of the study area consist of granite with different level of fracturing. Unconfined aquifer was found at depths of 0 to 50 m. Confined aquifers can be seen at two different zones. They exhibit same properties at three parallel lines, R1-R3 and show continuity between them. It is predicted that the aquifers flow in the southwest to northeast direction. The hard rock aquifers are highly recommended to be drilled as they contain a large amount of fresh water for further usage.

AbstractThe genus Klebsiella is seemingly ubiquitous in terms of its habitat associations. Klebsiella is a common opportunistic pathogen for humans and other animals, as well as being resident or transient flora (particularly in the gastrointestinal tract). Other habitats include sewage, drinking water, soils, surface waters, industrial effluents, and vegetation. Until recently, almost all these Klebsiella have been identified as one species, ie, K. pneumoniae. However, phenotypic and genotypic studies have shown that “K. pneumoniae” actually consists of at least four species, all with distinct characteristics and habitats. General habitat associations of Klebsiella species are as follows: K. pneumoniae—humans, animals, sewage, and polluted waters and soils; K. oxytoca—frequent association with most habitats; K. terrigena— unpolluted surface waters and soils, drinking water, and vegetation; K. planticola—sewage, polluted surface waters, soils, and vegetation; and K. ozaenae/K. rhinoscleromatis—infrequently detected (primarily with humans).

Toxic Trace Metals

INTRODUCTION“Acid rain” and “acid deposition” are terms no longer confined to the lexicon of atmospheric scientists and 1imnologists. Public awareness of and concern over this phenomenon, particularly as it affects acid-sensitive regions of North America, have increased dramatically in the last five years. Temperate ecosystems are suffering from decreased pH caused by acid deposition. Human health may be directly affected by respirable sulfates and by the increased solubility of toxic trace metals in acidified waters. Even man's monuments are deteriorating as airborne acids etch metal and stone features.Sulfates account for about two thirds of airborne acids with wet and dry deposition contributing equally to acids reaching surface waters or ground. The industrial Midwest is widely assumed to be the source of most sulfates reaching the acid-sensitive Northeast since S02 emitted as a byproduct of coal combustion in the Midwest dwarfs S02 emitted from all sources in the Northeast.
