Young Rangers take an action !


Hye! we're from SMK Wangsa Melawati ! we are the representative for The River of Life Public Outreach Programme (ROL-POP) . Our group name is YOUNG RANGERS :D  Our members are Rafhanah (Leader), Farra, Syahirah, Ismawati , Aina and the most important person are Pn. Zainun and Pn.Nur Syifa as our teacher guider .


April 23 was the best experience !
The programme started with a briefing from the VVVIP . After the briefing , we went  to Site 2 of Sungai Kelang.We did the chemical and  physical monitoring .We are guided by our facilitator   and we had so much fun doing the activity .


Let's check out our activities !!!

When we reached there we do the Chemical Monitoring first .

Checking the turbidity of river water which is 0 JTU

Checking the pH value which is neutral (pH 7)

Our model is showing the pH sampel


Farra doing the DO Test



The result of DO is 4 ppm .

Checking the Phosphate sampel which is 2ppm





Checking the Nitrate sampel which is 0 ppm


The temperature is 28'



This is our  lovely facilitator showing the procedure




Turbidity
 We checked the turbidity of water .Turbidity is a measure of cloudiness of water- the cloudier the water, the greater the 
 turbidity. The result for the turbidity is 0JTU which means Excellent .

pH Value
pH is a measurement of the activity of hydrogen ions in a water sample. 7 is the pH value we got for the result which    means it was Neutral .

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
 Dissolved oxygen (DO) is found in a microscopic bubbles of oxygen that are mixed in the water and occur between water molecules .DO is a very important indicator of a water body's ability to support aquatic life. The result for DO is 4 ppm which means Fair .

Phosphate
Phosphate is usually found in water and is a necessary element for plants and animals.Phosphate naturally enters water from plant and animal by-products and is a nutrient that acts as a fertilizer for aquatic plants. According to the result we got 2 ppm which means it was Good .

Nitrate
 Nitrate is one of the main ingredients in fertilizer. The result we get for nitrate is 0 ppm which means Excellente !

Temperature
The result for temperature is 28'C . That's mean Excellent .
