Modeling of pllutant loads on buloh river due to the development of new Faculty of Earth Science

In this study, the main objective is to measure water quality and predict the additional pollutant loads of Buloh River after the development of new Faculty of Earth Science by using QUAL2K. The water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (C) an...
