Effect of 2014 massive flood on well water qualities: a case study on Kelantan River basin, Malaysia

The effect of physical and biological qualities of wells after submergence was assessed following December 2014 flood in Kelantan. Studies were carried out on a total of 65 wells from 13 stations around Kelantan River basin in which the wells’ water were sampled for pH, total dissolved solid (TDS),...

About 95% of the well showed to be contaminated, 7 out of 65 samples (11.1%) showed TDS values >400 μSꞏcm–1; and 19 samples (29.2%) recorded turbidity beyond 7.0 NTU.
