Assessment of Freshwater Quality in Endau Area

Water Quality Index (WQI) uses as a basis for the assessment of a watercourse in relation to pollution load categorization. It designs the classes of beneficial uses of river as stipulated in Intern National Water Quality Standards for Malaysia (INQWS). In this study, the current status of fresh wa...

It designs the classes of beneficial uses of river as stipulated in Intern National Water Quality Standards for Malaysia (INQWS).
