Development of Total Maximum Daily Load Using Water Quality Modelling as an Approach for Watershed Management in Malaysia

River is one of important water sources for many activities including industrial and domestic usage such as daily usage, transportation, power supply and recreational activities. However, increasing activities in a river has grown the sources of pollutant enters the water bodies, and degraded the wa...
