Assessment of pollution and improvement measure of water quality parameters using scenarios modeling for Sungai Selangor Basin

Sungai Selangor is very important from the viewpoint of water supply and multipurpose water use in Malaysia. The water quality of this river is degrading due to point and non-point sources of pollution. This study, focus on the water quality assessment and simulation the effect of the pollution sour...

description	Sungai Selangor is very important from the viewpoint of water supply and multipurpose water use in Malaysia. The water quality of this river is degrading due to point and non-point sources of pollution.

Water quality Index (WQI) is used to define the status of river water quality and the QUAL2K was used as a simulation model. Water quality parameters DO, BOD and NH3-N have been chosen for modeling. In addition, five different model scenarios were simulated to observe the impacts of pollution sources on the Sungai Selangor water quality.
