Water resources management strategy : review on the impacts of Sarawak river barrage on the water quality

The Sungai Sarawak Regulation Scheme (SSRS) is the ftrst of its kind in South East Asia and could be one ofthe very few "three in one" infrastructure-combining barrage, lock and bridge. This scheme aimed to improve and maintain the water quality to the quality standard acceptable as a r...
