Evaluation of water quality using pattern recognition technique in Melaka River Basin, Malaysia

The unorganised expansion and uncontrolled urbanisation development had led to environmental issues involved with river water pollution that occurred within the Melaka River basin. There are three objectives study to solve the water quality of the Melaka River basin through (1) to identify the poten...

There are three objectives study to solve the water quality of the Melaka River basin through (1) to identify the potential sources of Melaka River pollution in correlation with the temporal land use classification, (2) to determine the land use land cover changes in 2015 and predict the future land use land cover for 2022, and (3) to verify pattern recognition based on the land use classification between 2015 and 2022 in the determination of pollutant sources within the Melaka River.
