Recent assessment of physico-chemical water quality in Malacca River using water quality index and statistical analysis

River are one of vital water resources for human and ecosystem, and it is important to monitored and controlled the river water quality. Malacca watershed is located at the centred of Malacca state, and one of the important attraction places for tourism and urbanization activity. The tremendous acti...
