Water Quality Mini Project (Level 3)
INTRODUCTION
Water quality is assessment of the physical, chemical and biological
characteristics of water. It is most frequently used with reference to a
set of standards which the compliance can be assessed properly. The
standards are used to assess water quality which relates to drinking
water, safety of human contact, and for health of ecosystems.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
PROBLEM STATEMENT
A new water treatment plant will be constructed in a new residential
area. As a civil engineer, you are responsible on the water quality
PROBLEM STATEMENT
assessment of the project. Suggest the relevant water tests that need
to be undertaken and discuss the possible causes for quality
deterioration and mitigation measures if they exceed allowable limit.

LABORATORY MANUAL
__________________________________________________________________________________
Each group have to collect their own sample from the possible sources
that can be used as water supply. The group is required to design and
conduct suitable and related laboratory test to obtain the relevant
water parameters to address the water quality assessment.
APPARATUS
Each group must identify the suitable apparatus needed for the
experiment themselves.
PROCEDURES
Based on the problem statement, each group need to determine which
parameters are suitable for testing. You are also required to search for
WAYS AND MEANS the relevant and correct procedures to carry out the experiment. The
document must be made ready for verification by the instructor during
the laboratory activity.
DATA ANALYSIS
All data collected and observed during the test must be tabulated in
proper format for easy verification and presentation of the technical
report
The report must be submitted within SEVEN (7) days after the
completion of the test.
