Status of Contamination and Distribution of Effluents in Tasik Chini, Pahang, Malaysia

Status of Contamination and Distribution of Effluents in Tasik Chini, Pahang, Malaysia

The study investigates the spatial variation and index of water quality in Tasik Chini (Chini Lake), Pahang, Malaysia. Water sampling was taken from 12 representative sites within the lake and two major feeder rivers. Physico-chemical parameters and heavy meter concentrations were analyzed using st...
