Geology and demarcation of potential aquifer zone in karstic terrain using surface geological mapping in Kuala Nerus area, Gua Musang, Kelantan

The study took place in Kuala Nerus, Gua Musang and its surrounding area. The study area consists of carbonate rocks, metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks and volcanic rocks that are under the Gua Musang Formation. The focus of the research is to produce an updated geological map of the study area w...
