The relation of neighbouring land use type and sedimentary characteristics of fluvial sediments in tropical rivers

This study investigates the relationship between land use types and sedimentary characteristics of fluvial bed at three rivers in Selangor, Malaysia; namely Sungai Tengi, Selangor and Langat. The diversity in population density and land development at the adjacent river banks gives associated domina...
