The influence of tidal activities on hydrologic variables of Marang river, Terengganu, Malaysia

A study was conducted at Marang River, Terengganu on determination of hydrological variation of Marang River at seven sampling stations. Sampling stations were selected along Marang River started from downstream to upstream. Each station was located 2km apart from each other. Sampling was done twice...
