Abstract: The common approach in monitoring river water quality consists of manual sampling and transport the sample to the laboratory for chemical analysis. This approach although it is non-technical and easily reproducible, however it is increasingly difficult if the location of sampling located in remote locations and far away from the urban area. An effective water quality monitoring must be implemented for water resources management in order to overcome this severe condition towards the watershed. Without accurate and intensive data acquisition, the condition of water resources cannot be adequately assessed, effective preservation and remediation programs cannot be run and the evaluation to the monitoring program cannot be successfully evaluated. In this study. Generally, this instrument is used to measure about 10 of water quality parameters which are pH, dissolved oxygen, electric conductivity, turbidity, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and biochemical oxygen demand.

Abstract: Biodiesel is a fuel of future which may be produced by adopting different methods. To deal with the future rapid increasing demand of energy and to handle the toxic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, new ideas for the production of low cost biodiesel must be considered. Waste soap and soap stocks (WSS) have been used to produce biodiesel. The price of the process is much lower and considerable in contrast to vegetable oils and other possible alternatives. In this research work, a sample product of biodiesel was obtained by using commercially available soap stocks and soap wastes. In the above process, acid catalyzed trans-esterification multi stage process was applied to achieve greater level of conversion. Finally, important and significant fuel properties like Flash point, Pour point, Cloud point and Fire point were performed according to ASTM procedural standards. The overall results in light of above mentioned tests displayed that the quality of produced diesel from mixture of waste s
