This study is aimed to examine the physical and chemical quality of water from the Ping River. The relationship between the temperature of water and the water quality is calculated. Water samples were collected from Scorpion Tail River Cruise (Hang Mang Pong) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. GLOBE Protocols were used to study water quality, temperature, transparency, pH level and DO (Dissolved Oxygen). The results were as followed: the average water temperature was 22.2 C; the transparency of the water, 21.7 cm; the chemical quality of the water or DO, 2.7 mg/L; and the pH level of the water, 7.1. The cloud cover percentage was 10-90%. The correlation of the temperature and the transparency was 0.86 at the 0.01 statistically significance level.
Keywords: water quality, temperature, transparency, pH, DO, cloud cover
