The aim of this research was to investigated (1) land use in the area of water supply Tap Water (2) compare the water quality of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Tap Water Quality with standard tap water (3) to study the relationship between water quality, physical and chemical and (4) ways to improvements of Mountain Stream Tap Water in Balo sub-district Administrative Organization Raman District Yala Province. The research methodology was a Mix Method Research, survey research, and qualitative research. The finding was as follows: Land use water that has a wetlands area - high plateau and mountain areas. Land use rubber, fruit orchards, and rice-growing areas including coconut and used in the locks to the public water supply in the area has mountains to the consumer. Analysis comparing the water quality by the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Qualitative and improvements of Mountain Stream Tap Water in Balo sub-district Administrative Organization Raman District Yala Province with standard tap water. Compare the physical, chemical, and biological water quality standards for drinking water. Found to meet drinking water standards. Effects of different water Tap Water Quality NTU were 3.92 NTU and the lowest value 0.56 NTU temperature was the highest 35.17 lowest 33.50 TDS were 28.31 mg/L and the lowest 16.04 mg/L TSS highest 65.99 mg/and the 8.52 mg/L and pH is the highest 6.54 and lower is 5.68 Total Hardness as CaCO3 (mg/L) is the 30.43 mg/L and the lowest 21.12 mg/L and Chloride highest 16.25 mg /L and lowest 10.45 mg/L. The relationship between physical and chemical water quality of each station found TDS to TSS and Total Hardness as CaCO3 correlated significantly at the 0.01. The consumer found the home water supply authorities and The Administrative Committee of the lack of cooperation, communication cooperation education public relations lack of support from government and related agencies.
