Hydrodynamics of Klang Estuary / Hairudin Abu Hazar

In recent years engineering problems in estuary have received increased attention from the practitioner, the experimentalist, and the analyst in view of the important functions assigned to estuaries in the human environment. The South Port of Port Klang being situated right at the mouth of Klang Riv...
