Abstract

Groundwater constitutes an essential natural resource, providing freshwater for domestic, agricultural, and industrial applications, particularly in rural regions. In Kampung Kasar, Pasir Mas, Kelantan, Malaysia, groundwater constitutes the principal source for daily activities. Nonetheless, apprehensions regarding contamination stemming from anthropogenic activities, including agriculture, landfills, and industrialization, underscore the need for a comprehensive assessment of its quality. This study seeks to evaluate groundwater quality in Kampung Kasar by employing both chemical and physical parameters, and subsequently classify the findings following the Malaysian National Water Quality Standards (NWQS).
