Effect Of Land Use And Land Cover (Lulc) And Anthropogenic Activities On Kinta River Water Quality

Research was carried out to assess the relationship between land use and water quality of Kinta River. The objectives of this research were to identify the possible pollution sources influencing the water quality, to determine the influence of land use and cover within zones of specific radii and en...

Statistical analysis was conducted against 12 water quality parameters; temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, nitrate, phosphate, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids (SS).
