Abstract

Aeration system is used to increase Dissolved Oxygen (DO) in water content and remove any excess chemical substances such as ammonia is commonly used in water treatment process or recreational lake. The purpose of this research is to distinguish between aerated lake system and non-aerated lake system in recreational lakes at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) Main Campus. This research has determined that the aeration system installed in recreational lake has increase the rate of DO in water content. The sampling process was conducted at both lakes in different points. The samples were tested on different parameters which are Turbidity, pH value, Ammonia content, DO and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The data obtain from both lakes was compared to determine the advantages of aeration system. The implication of this research is to reopen the recreational lakes for recreational activities although been suspected containing Leptospirosis few years ago. Since the lake has suspected contaminated, the recreational activities at the lake are prohibited. Besides that, this research will provide a scientific databank or main reference for UTeM Administration and Development Centre about the contents of the lakes.
