Abstract

Water is a vital resource in human life and is necessary for the global life system to function. Humans use water in their daily lives for a variety of reasons, including agriculture, cattle, industry, and so on. However, due to the irresponsible behaviour of some parties, the water is getting increasingly polluted. Water pollution, according to the Environmental Quality Act of 1974, is defined as any direct or indirect change to the physical, thermal, biological, or radioactive properties of any part of the environment that releases, emits, or places these wastes in such a way that they affect the use and cause a situation that is dangerous and detrimental to the public's health, safety, and welfare, or other life such as birds, fish, aquatic life, and the like.Among the causes of water pollution in Malaysia is due to the dumping of garbage from residential areas along the river. For example, the uncontrolled dumping of waste materials such as oil, garbage and others and cause changes in the nature of water, will lead to pollution. In addition, the irresponsible attitude of some factory managers by dumping toxic waste into rivers or seas is also one of the causes of water pollution. This will affect life in the water. With the occurrence of water pollution, it will disrupt human health. Contaminated water contains chemicals such as mercury, sodium and so on that can be harmful to human health. In this study, HydroQS is a device that will be produced to monitor water conditions in the Melaka River. With this device, to some extent can help the state of Melaka reduce water pollution. This study will conduct a field test to prove that this project can help the country to some extent because this study is also a joint venture between UteM and Perbadanan Pembangunan Sungai dan Pantai (PPSPM). Due to water pollution that occurs in the Melaka River, can cause tourists do not want to go to Melaka and will bring down the economy of the state of Melaka.
