Assessment of Spatial Variation of Water Quality of Tunggak River Adjacent to Gebeng Industrial Estate, Malaysia

Anthropogenic impact on the Tunggak River is as a result of rapid industrialization in the study area. The study was conducted with the objective to explore the spatial variation of the water quality of the river due to anthropogenic activities. Water samples were collected monthly from selected sit...
