River water quality implication after the earthquake

The earthquake of 6.0 Magnitude occurred in the Ranua district of Sabah lasted for 30 seconds on 5th June 2015. This study investigated the various water quality parameters such as turbidity, color, dissolved oxygen, pH, electric conductivity, total dissolved solids, and so on from two monitoring st...
