Water Quality and Self-purification of Creek from National Park in Chanthaburi Province
Abstract
This research studied water quality and self-purification of creek from waterfall in Chanthaburi province national park. Three creeks from waterfalls namely; Khao Sip Ha Chan, Krathing and phlio were collected by using grab water sampling during January 2018 - December 2018. Various water quality indicators such as temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solid (TDS), turbidity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and phosphate (PO43-) were determined. All water samples along self-purification boundaries were qualified with surface water quality standard (Class II), except BOD. Likewise, the investigation of self-purification by Water Quality Index (WQI) indicated that degenerated BOD and low recovery rate due to the influence of large agricultural areas around the creek sites. Keywords : Self-purification, Water quality, Water Quality Index (WQI), National park, Chanthaburi ProvinceReferences
