A study on the water quality of Tasik Kejuruteraan of the UKM Bangi campus was carried out to determine the water quality, Water Quality Index (WQI) and its classification according to Interim National Water Quality Standard (INWQS). The purpose of this study was to identify the sources of the water pollution and level of pollution at the lake. The effect of dry and rainy days on the water quality was also evaluated. Parameters selected were pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammoniacal-nitrogen, lead and cadmium. Temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and turbidity were measured in-situ by using calibrated meters.
