Marine pollution in Wonorejo estuary has been a concern. Partly, marine pollution is carried by the river and the effluent from fish ponds. The amount of fish harvesting for fishermen and fish ponds farmers, especially shrimp ponds decreases time by time. The aim of this study is to know water quality parameters that have exceeded from the quality standard criteria from field work and their impacts to marine biota. Sampling of water quality took place at ten stations along river up to open sea with three points of depth to find out the concentration of ammonia, phosphate, BOD, DO, and phenol. The average concentrations of water quality parameters, 0.6 mg/L for ammonia, 0.09 mg/L for phosphate, 6.8 mg/L for BOD, 5.51 mg/L for DO, and 0.0451 mg/L for phenol, respectively. High concentration of phenol can cause a death for some marine biota.

This work has been conducted to evaluate the water quality of the Buriganga river. In situ water quality parameters and water samples were collected from 10 locations in January 2016 and analyzed later in laboratory for water quality parameters such as pH, Eh, EC, TDS, cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2, As3+), anions (Cl-, HCO3-, NO2-, NO3-, SO42-, F-, Br-, PO43-), heavy metals (Cr2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cd+2, Fe2+, Mn2+) to see whether or not the level of these parameters are within the permissible limits. The average values of pH, Eh, EC and temperature were 7.31, –214.9 mV, 928.9 μs/cm and 21.4°C, respectively; the average concentration of Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and As3+ were 109.62, 13.38, 46.78, 13.98 and 0.018 mg/l, respectively, while the concentrations of Cl-,HCO3-, PO43-, SO42-, NO3-, NO2-, F and Br -were 79, 331.06, 2.22, 84.32, 0.0254, 0.058, 0.224 and 0.073 mg/l, respectively; and the concentration of heavy metals Pb2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and Mn2+were 0.28, 0.053, 0.17 and 0.23 mg/l, respectively. The study indicates that most of the parameters are within the permissible limits set by Bangladesh water quality standard. The concentrations of K+, Mn2+, and Pb2+ were beyond the permissible limits meaning that that the water of Buriganga is not safe for drinking. The people living beside Buriganga river should be more cautious about using the polluted/contaminated river water. The concerned authorities should take urgent necessary steps to improve the degraded water quality of the river considering the ecological, environmental and economic implications associated with it.

Abstract Baiyangdian Lake (BYD), a large shallow lake in North China, has complex water landscape patterns that are underlies spatial variations in water quality. In this study, we collected 61 water samples from three water landscapes (reed littoral zones, fish ponds and open water) and analyzed them for water quality parameters, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP). Water landscape distribution (determined using remote sensing imagery) was then used to assess correlations between water quality parameters and water landscape proportion in differently scaled buffer zones. There was substantial variation across all subareas, with TN and TP concentrations ranging from 0.90–4.10 mg/L and 0.06–0.18 mg/L, respectively. Spatial variations in water quality were mainly caused by water landscape distribution and external nutrient inputs. There were negative correlations between DOC, TN, and TP concentrations and the area proportion of reed littoral zones in the 300 and 500 m buffers. In contrast, DOC, TN and TP concentrations were significantly positively correlated with the area proportion of fish ponds in the 100 m buffer. Furthermore, compared with reed littoral zones, a lower nitrogen to phosphorus ratio and a higher proportion of dissolved organic nitrogen and tyrosine-like proteins were found in fish ponds. These effects were mainly attributed to development of internal sediment loadings due to nutrient exchange between sediment and overlying water. Therefore, dredging-based sediment removal from fish ponds should be considered to suppress internal phosphorus loading and accelerate recovery of the BYD ecosystem.


The purpose of the current method is to create a safe and secure that helps the fish pond owners and aquatic planters in producing high quality fish by maintaining normal water levels in the fish tank. The flow of the low or high water in the fish pond will solve the long-term problem of killing fish in a fish tank. Each water quality can affect the health of animals alone. The flow of water on fish ponds discusses how every day should be monitored. This should ensure quality by handling the PH, membrane, temperature, ammonia etc. It is a symbol of good quality water quality standards and poor water quality pools and how it should be upgraded. It is recommended that a prerequisite to increase production by ensuring sustainable fresh quality, and consequently, priority should be given priority. Therefore, water quality parameters maintain balanced positions, culture is the basis for the health and development of living organisms. It is recommended to monitor and evaluate water quality parameters on a regular basis

Water is a vital for all aspects of human and ecosystem survival. The evaluations of water quality parameters and hydrological status are necessary to enhance the performance of an assessment operation and develop better water resources management and plan. There are three sampling stations were selected along the Kuantan River. Seven water quality parameters were measured and Malaysian Department of Environment Water Quality Index (DOE-WQI) was calculated and classified based on the National Water Quality Standard, Malaysia (INWQS). The water balance status applied to determine the stability of inflows and outflows into and from the basin. As a result, all water quality parameters (DO, COD, BOD, TSS, NH3-N and pH) which categorized under the ranged of class II until class IV respectively. Kuantan River located in Pahang state, Malaysia which is significantly degrading due to human activities as well as urbanization in and within the area. Overall, the result showed that the estimated average sediment that flows out of Kuantan Rivers is 108.88tonnes/day (24 February 2017) and 44.917 tonnes/day (30 April 2017). The contributors of sedimentation problems in Kuantan River are from unsustainable land use such as urbanization and industrialization which trapping the bed sediments and river band erosion.

The use of sodium chloride (0.5 g/L and 1 g/L) and zeolite (22.7 g/L) during shipment (48 h) of Ancistrus triradiatus at high temperatures (between 24.5 and 34ºC) were evaluated. Several water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, and total ammonia) were measured before and after shipment. Glycemia was measured before shipment and at 24 and 48 h after shipment. After shipment, a resistance test was carried out in a high concentration of sodium chloride, and mortality was recorded after shipment, and 7 days post-shipment. While the two evaluated substances increased survival of A. triradiatus challenged by high temperatures during shipment, the best result was obtained with 1 g/L of sodium chloride.

Mangrove is one of the coastal ecosystem is able to grow in fluctuating water conditions. Mangrove areas are found on the Nusa Lembongan island, Bali, is a ??mangrove ecosystem that have the unique characteristics of water area. The mangrove area is located on one of the small islands in Bali that have no source of freshwater input and there is the entrance of water into the mangrove forest. The uniqueness of waters in mangrove ecosystem will affect the type and density of fauna associated, particularly mollusca. Mollusca are one of the animals that live and thrive in the mangrove ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to study which aimed to provide a description of the water quality and mollusca on mangrove ecosystem in Nusa Lembongan. This research was conducted in June 2015 on a six station observation. Measurement of water quality conducted on four water parameters such as temperature, DO, pH, and salinity. Observation on the type and density of mollusca done using transects squared (1 x 1 meter). The range of values ??obtained water quality parameters, such as; 1) salinity (32.00-34.33 ppm), 2) pH (7.06-7.96), 3) temperature (27.27-30.13 Celsius), and 4) DO (2.60-6.90 mg/l). Water quality parameter values ??obtained are still in the range of water quality standard and suitable place to live and grow for marine biota life. Dissolved oxygen (DO) value was still below the threshold quality standard. There six families of mollusca found in six observation station, such as Neritidae, Littorinidae, Columbellidae, Olividae, Carditidae, Muricidae, Potamidae, Certthiidae. The highest density was in Family Potamidae (1.83 ind/m2), so the Family Potamidae is able to adapt and have a wide area deployment.

Pollution status of the Buriganga river has been assessed in this study using GIS tool to analyze the spatial and seasonal distribution of several water quality parameters from six surface water sampling stations. In addition, characterization of water quality from certain selected outfalls discharging wastewater along the river was accomplished as well. The observed surface water quality concentration was higher during dry season for BOD5 (13.68-22.8 mg/l), COD (22-30 mg/l), TDS (280- 303 mg/l), PO4(5.6- 7.3 mg/l) while an exception was found for NH3-N (0.67- 0.89 mg/l) and Turbidity (25.19 to 91.18). The DO level was found noticeably lower during dry season (1.73 to 2.36 mg/l) than wet season (3.27 to 4.68 mg/l). Moreover, Principal Component Analysis identified high ionic distributions during wet season and more organic pollution during dry season. Water quality parameters TDS, TSS, EC and COD were obtained in high concentration levels from industrial outfalls towards the downstream of the river while BOD5, NH3-N were higher from municipal wastewater outfalls towards the upstream of the river. The observed pollution loading from the outfalls revealed the location at Dholaikhal as the major pollution source in the river with a BOD5 (11681- 12243 kg/day) and TDS (9749- 32348 kg/day) loading. Accordingly, influence of nearest wastewater sources on the surface water quality was evident through GIS representation of the parameters. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.55(2), 113-130, 2020
