Preliminary assessment on the hydrogeochemistry of Kapas Island, Terengganu (Penilaian awal hidro-kimia di Pulau Kapas, Terengganu)

Classified as a small island, Kapas Island experiences major problems especially in supplying freshwater where groundwater abstraction is the only way to meet the demand of drinking water and domestic use. Groundwater samples were collected from seven constructed boreholes to examine the hydrochemis...
