| Abstract | Klong Namdang is one of the important canals in Bangkok of Thailand used as agricultural area and local lifestylesince time immemorial. Nowadays, factories are increasing around the canal that may affect to environment andhuman health. The objectives of this research were to study quality of consumed and canal water then assesssuitability for consumption and agriculture. Therefore, this work focused on determination of physical, biologicaland chemical qualities of 21 drinking water samples, namely tap water, rainwater and bottled drinking water from21 households, and 6 canal water samples from Klong Namdang community. It was found that total coliformbacteria of 27% of tap water, 100% of rainwater and bottled drinking water were out of standard quality of drinkingwater with <3-2,400, 347.50+434.38 and 1,204.50+1,690.69 most probable number/100 ml, respectively. There werevery strong correlations among electrical conductivity, hardness, calcium, magnesium, and sodium in drinkingwater with probability value <0.001. However, chemical qualities of canal water comprising magnesium, sodium,potassium, and manganese were out of standard of quality for agricultural water. Moreover, a correlation betweentotal coliform bacteria and fecal coliform bacteria in the canal water was found with correlation coefficient of0.9971 at probability value <0.001. Besides, water quality index of the canal was 53.83+2.86 meaning that it wastype 4 surface water and may not be suitable for agriculture. |
