Abstract: Water crisis is become a global issue in recent decade. Alternative water resources are an important method to mitigate the issue of water shortage. The aim of this research is to identify and compare the alternative water resources in UPNM campus. The study of water catchments in UPNM campus was conducted to examine the amount of water resources available that can be developed for water supply. The water quality of the stated alternative resources was tested and analysed to propose new alternative water resources for UPNM campus. Rainwater from the pervious area in UPNM, multipurpose green field and natural water from Lestari area surface water collection area were selected for raw water quality standard. To justify the quality of water, physical, chemical and biological assessment were performed. Water quality from each parameter is determined based on American Public Health Association Method (APHA).Peak flowrate of water discharged from both areas were determined using Rational method. Based on the analysis from the study, Lestari area without rain shown a better result whereby WQI for this location is 88.59 compared to UPNM multipurpose green field area which is only 71.68 and a result of 61.17 of WQI for Lestari area with rainwater.
