This study analyzes the quality of the water particularly at Sungai Manjung, Perak at various depth levels. In this research context, the water quality index is used to determine the quality of the water and water parameters are used as determinants. Environment Quality Report for Rivers in 2017 has shown that Sungai Manjung is categorized as a slightly polluted river. This study is conducted near the shipyard water area. The observations around the area are conducted and water samples are collected for 60 days in three different depth levels which include, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 m. The pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO) and total dissolved solid (TDS) are measured. It is found that the pH for all samples is between the range of 7.4 to 8.4 whereas DO varied from 9.42 to 12.85 mg/L, TDS is 4002–9795 p.p.m, temperature ranged from 30 to 34.6 ℃ and salinity is revealed changeless at values between 23 and 24‰. Thus, the findings of this study have revealed that the water quality status in Sungai Manjung is moderately polluted in various depth levels due to several maritime activities in the surrounding area.
