PENGURUSAN SISTEM PENUAIAN AIR HUJAN DI ZOO NEGARA, SELANGOR (RAIN WATER HARVESTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN ZOO NEGARA, SELANGOR)
Abstract
Abstrak
Air adalah keperluan utama sama ada kepada manusia, haiwan mahupun tumbuhan. Sistem Penuaian Air Hujan (SPAH) adalah teknologi yang digunakan untuk mengumpul dan menyimpan air hujan dari atas bumbung untuk digunakan semula. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pengaplikasian SPAH dan keberkesanan SPAH daripada segi kuantiti air yang dikumpulkan. Kajian ini dijalankan adalah di Zoo Negara, Hulu Kelang, Selangor. Kajian ini hanya memfokuskan pada fasa kedua pengaplikasian SPAH di Zoo Negara. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kajian tinjauan dan temu bual. Hasil kajian mendapati faktor yang mempengaruhi pengaplikasian SPAH di Zoo Negara ialah keperluan tasik, membaiki kualiti air tasik dan taburan hujan. Bagi objektif kedua, hasil daripada ujian kualiti air yang dilakukan pihak NAHRIM mendapati status kualiti air tasik tersebut telah berubah daripada Kelas IV (tercemar) kepada Kelas III (sederhana tercemar). Air hujan juga mampu untuk menampung keperluan air tasik tersebut. Responden juga bersetuju bahawa pengaplikasian SPAH di Zoo Negara bagi fasa kedua adalah berkesan. Hasil daripada kajian ini, dapat memberi manfaat kepada pihak kerajaan untuk menggalakkan pemasangan SPAH di Zoo bagi negeri-negeri lain.Â
Kata kunci: SPAH, Zoo, pengaplikasian, keberkesanan.

Abstract
Water is a key requirement either to human, animal or plant. Rainwater Harvesting System (RWH) is a technology used to collect and store rainwater from the roof for reuse. The objective of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the effectiveness of the application of RWH and RWH in terms of the quantity of water collected. The scope of the study is to carried out at the National Zoo, Hulu Kelang, Selangor. This study focuses only on the second phase of the application of RWH at the National Zoo. Method of methodology used was through observation and interview. The results shown, factors that affect the application of RWH at the National Zoo is water demand, improve the quality of lake water and rainfall. For the second objective, based on the analysis, the rainwater is channelled to assist in improve the lake water. This is because, as a result of water quality tests conducted NAHRIM every month found that the lake water quality status has changed from Class IV (contaminated) to Class III (moderately polluted). Rainwater is also able to accommodate the needs of the lake water. Respondents also agreed that the application of RWH at the National Zoo for the second phase is effective. The results of this study, it can be beneficial for the government to encourage the installation of Zoo SPAH in other states.
 Key Words: RWH, Zoo, application, effectiveness
