Abstract

A short-term study was done to analyze the state of acidification of surface water at Semenyih Dam, This study is part of a continuous monitoring programme for Malaysia as a participatory country of EANET (Acid Monitoring Network in East Asia). Surface water samples were taken at selected points of the dam from February to December 2005. Temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, alkalinity, acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) as well as concentration of specific ionic species were measured, determined and analysed in this study. Present available short-term study data indicates Semenyih Dam surface water is currently not undergoing acidification.

Satu kajian jangka pendek telah dijalankan untuk penentukan keasidan di Empangan Semenyih. Kajian ini adalah sebahagian aktiviti program pengawasan persekitaran akuatik dari Malaysia sebagai ahli EANET (Acid Monitoring Network in East Asia). Sampel permukaan air di ambil dari tempat tertentu di Empangan Semenyih dari bulan Februari ke Disember 2005. Parameter yang dianalisa termasuk suhu, kekonduksian elektrik, pH, kealkalian, kebolehan meneutralkan acid (ANC) serta kepekatan ion-ion terlarut. Data semasa kajian jangka pendek ini menunjukkan Empangan Semenyih tidak mengalami keasidan.
