Adverse effect of anthropogenic activities on water quality of the Pekan River

A study on anthropogenic activities and water quality was carried out in the Pekan river, taking into account the location of the river which is at the centre of the Pekan city. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the water quality based on National Water Quality Standard (NWQS) and Water Q...

The results showed that BOD value was higher on Station 1 (11.02 mg/l) compared to other stations. The BOD value of the Pekan river was higher than the NWQS threshold level.
