Hydrology and Sediment Loading in a Degrading Natural Lake System in Malaysia

Hydrology and suspended sediment loading in the catchment of the natural Chini Lake (second largest natural lake in Malaysia) was investigated. Suspended sediment loads and discharge from seven selected feeder rivers were measured over a period of 1 year from January to December 2006. The river wate...

Suspended sediment loads and discharge from seven selected feeder rivers were measured over a period of 1 year from January to December 2006.
