Peat Swamp Groundwater Treatment: Efficiency of Mixed Citrus Peel and Kernel Activated Carbon Layer

One of the natural water resources is groundwater. Groundwater is another alternative to meet the increasing water demand in Malaysia. Then, the decrease in supplying raw groundwater which may due to depletion of groundwater and hence it is important to maintain the availability of water supply loca...
