Consequences of massive river bank erosion to the local society at Pasir Parit, Kelantan

The population living near the river basin is at risk of river bank erosion. As a consequence of hydraulics and hydrological processes, as well as floods and development activities along the river, the morphology is changing. Many ecological characteristics, including flora and fauna, human life, ba...
