KEYWORD: recreational water park, water quality, dissolved organic carbon, turbidity, chemical feature ABSTRACT: Water park water quality impacts the public health illustrated by the increasing waterborne diseases outbreaks in recent years. Water samples were thus collected and analyzed for chemical constituents, organic matter, from the water park over spring and summer. Water quality varied seasonally with less contaminated in spring compared with summer (p<0.01), which likely corresponds to the number of visitors. Turbidities were in the range of 0.5 to 3 NTU and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was in the range of 2 to 18 mg/L. The average water chemical parameters for investigated pools were pH=7.6, alkalinity=230 mg/L, hardness=190 mg/L, and temperature=27 °C. Water quality of the investigated water parks were divided into two groups, and only group 1 was balanced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
