1. Physical and Chemical Property of Water

• Water is highly reactive substance having a


great capacity to dissolve solids, liquids and
gasses
• In natural cond. Groundwater properties
depend on geological condition, age of water
and source of water itself
• Natural dissociation H2O → H+ + OH-
1. Physical and Chemical Property of Water
Some important basic indicators of water (notice in the
field survey)
Color :
Temperature :
pH :
TDS : Total dissolved solids (mg/L)
Smell :
Taste :
Eh : Redox Potential (volt)
TSS: Total Suspended Solids (mg/L)
Turbidity : NTU related with TSS
EC : Electrical Conductivity (siemens / cm)
DO : Dissolved Oxygen
Salinity : related with saline
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
• a measure of the combined content of all
inorganic and organic substances contained in
a liquid.
• Primary sources for TDS in receiving waters
are agricultural and residential runoff,
leaching of soil contamination and point
source water pollution discharge from
industrial or sewage treatment plants.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Jenis air TDS (mg/l)

1 Air tawar (fresh) 0 – 1.000

2 Air payau (brackish) 1.000 – 10.000

3 Air asin (saline) 10.000 – 100.000

4 Brine water > 100.000


Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and
Turbidity
• TSS : non-filterable residue (NFR), Colloids, in the
lab. filtered in 0.45 micro meters filter, unit is mg/L
• Turbidity, is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid
caused by individual particles (suspended solids)
that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar
to smoke in air, unit is NTU (Nephelometric Unit)
• a correlation between turbidity and total
suspended solids (TSS) is somewhat unique for
each location or situation.
pH (acidity)
• which measures the hydrogen ion concentration in
water
• Pure water has pH around 7, but not all natural
water has pH 7
• Less than 7 is called as acid
• More than 7 is called as base
Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
• relative measure of the amount of oxygen that
is dissolved or carried in water (mg/L)
Salinity
• is the saltiness or dissolved salt content (such
as sodium chloride, magnesium and calcium
sulfates, and bicarbonates) of a body of water
or in soil.
Water salinity
Fresh water Brackish water Saline water Brine
< 0.05% 0.05 – 3% 3 – 5% > 5%
< 0.5 ‰ 0.5 – 30 ‰ 30 – 50 ‰ > 50 ‰
Electrical Conductivity (EC) or Specific
Conductance
• is measures a material's ability to conduct an
electric current (Siemens per meter) Sm-1 or
microsiemens/cm

Material Resistivity (Ωm) EC (Sm-1)


Sea water 2×10−1 4.8
Drinking water 2×101 to 2×103 5×10−4 to 5×10−2
Sampling Procedure (important in survey)

• Prepare sample bottles


• Bottles are made from non reactive material
e.g. HDPE material
• Not transparant
• Ensure no gas/bubble was trapped with water
in bottle
Sampling Procedure (important in survey)
Prepare bottles and separate samples for each:
• Major Ions (Ca, Mg, Na, K, SO4, HCO3/CO3, Cl),
no preservation need, keep it cool
• Total metal (need preservation, no filter)
• Dissolved metal (need preservation, with
filter)
• Isotope (no preservation) just keep it cool
Sampling Procedure (important in survey)

Major Ions
• Major or common ions present in natural
water
• Cation and anion
• Cation : Ca2+ (calcium), Mg2+ (magnesium), Na+
(sodium), K+ (potassium)
• Anion : HCO3- or CO32-, SO42-, Cl-
Ion Balance
• Total milimoles equivalent (meq) of cation and
anion should be balance (total is same)
• Tolerance of their difference is 5%
• How to calculate meq?
