Abstract

• In this paper, Ayeyarwady River water samples: River water sample 1, River water sample 2 and River water sample 3 were collected from Mandalay environ. The water samples were analyzed to determine the elemental concentration by using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer. Silicon (0.14% - 0.19%), sulfur (0.31% - 0.33%), potassium (0% - 0.01%), calcium (0% - 0.013%), iron (0 %- 0.001%) and samarium (0% - 0.001%) were detected by using XRF. The physico-chemical properties such as colour, pH, conductivity, alkalinity and total hardness of River water samples were also measured. These results were compared and discussed with WHO standards.
