The research examines and compares the quality of water in a canal that receives water from domestic and industrial sources with an area that does not receive industrial effluents. The objectives of the study are to compare the water quality in the canal receiving water from industrial and non-industrial sources. The methodology involves collecting water samples for analysis, studying the physical characteristics of water, including:1. Determining the pH (acidity-alkalinity) of the water. 2. Measuring the water temperature. 3. Assessing the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the water. The study involved recording images and data from the analyzed water samples. The analysis was conducted using the following tools: 1. Alcoholic-acidimetric thermometer. 2. Kit for testing the dissolved oxygen content in water. 3. pH testing kit. The results of the study indicate that water in the area not affected by industrial effluents has better quality compared to water in the canal that receives water from industrial sources.
