The occurence of markets and inhabitans activities such as bathing and washing can affect the water quality of Canal A Kuala Dua due to the disposals entering the water body. One of the bioindicator used to detect water pollution is coliform bacteria.

Sampling was done at 9 stations along Canal A Kuala Duan when the ebb and flow occurred. The density of coliform bacteria was calculated by MPN method and Escherichia coli qualitative test was done by IMVIC test.
