Water Quality Improvement Using Floating Treatment Wetland for Sustainable Management of Dams and Reservoirs

The development of dams and reservoirs in Malaysia are very much dependent on its water resources for diverse human activities such as agriculture, industries, settlements, hydro-electric power and any human needs. The development of dams can be associated with the number of effects including the ch...
