Evaluation of post eia water quality due to the construction of the sungai kinta dam project, Perak

Evaluation of post eia water quality due to the construction of the sungai kinta dam project, Perak / Nurfaizahwati Ishak
Kualiti air merupakan antara elemen utama yang dikaji dalam Kajian Impak Persekitaran. Skop utama dalam kajian kes ini ialah penilaian Kajian Impak Persekitaran tentang kualiti air semasa dan selepas menyiapkan Projek Empangan Sungai Kinta, Mukim Hulu Kinta, Daerah Kinta, Perak daripada tahun 1991 hingga 2005. Kajian dibuat berdasarkan data yang diperoleh daripada pihak Pengurus Projek; Metropolitan Utilities Corporation Sdn. Bhd. Didapati, isu utama yang perlu diberikan perhatian ialah kekeruhan kerana ia juga dapat memberi gambaran secara fizikal tentang masalah pada parameter-parameter kualiti air yang lain seperti warna, nitrat, kekerasan, jumlah pepejal terampai dan sebagainya. Punca utama yang mendorong kepada penurunan kualiti air tersebut ialah aktiviti manusia di kawasan kajian iaitu kerja-kerja pembinaan empangan serta pembinaan lebuh raya di bahagian hilir kawasan tadahan hujan. Kualiti air di Sungai Kinta yang terjejas akan menjadi semakin baik selepas kedua-dua aktiviti tersebut tamat bagi menjamin bekalan air yang bersih dan selamat dibekalkan kepada penduduk Ipoh serta kawasan sekitarnya. Kesimpulannya, kualiti air di Sg. Kinta semasa pembinaan empangan adalah konsisten dengan penilaian yang telah dibuat dalam Kajian Impak Persekitaran yang telah disediakan sebelum projek dimulakan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Water quality is one of the main element that is studied thoroughly in an Environmental Impact Assessment. The main scope of this case study is to determine the EIA on water quality during and after completing the construction works Sungai Kinta Dam Project, Mukim Hulu Kinta, Kinta District, Perak from 1991 until 2005. The analysis are done based on the data that were obtained from the Project Manager; Metropolitan Utilities Corporation Sdn. Bhd. The most critical issue is the turbidity because it can reflects the physical impacts to the other water quality parameters such as colour, nitrate, hardness, total suspended solids and etc. The main sources that contribute to the decreasing of water quality are the construction activities of dam and the construction of the Highway across the upper catchment areas. The water quality of Sungai Kinta that was affected will recover after both activities are completed to ensure safe and clean water can be supplied to population in Ipoh and the outlying areas. In conclusion, the water quality on the construction of the Sg. Kinta Dam Project, Perak is consistent with the evaluation of EIA that had been prepared before the project started.
