Evaluation of water quality using pattern recognition technique in Melaka River Basin, Malaysia

The unorganised expansion and uncontrolled urbanisation development had led to environmental issues involved with river water pollution that occurred within the Melaka River basin. There are three objectives study to solve the water quality of the Melaka River basin through (1) to identify the poten...
