Upper and lower river physico-chemical characteristics of Pahang river : a baseline study
A study is carried out on physico-chemical characteristics, anions and heavy metal concentration in several upper and lower sites of Pahang River. Jelai River, Tembeling River, Temerloh, Kampung Belimbing, Kampung Temai and Pekan were chosen as the sampling site. Sampling activities is done once in...

A study is carried out on physico-chemical characteristics, anions and heavy metal concentration in several upper and lower sites of Pahang River. Jelai River, Tembeling River, Temerloh, Kampung Belimbing, Kampung Temai and Pekan were chosen as the sampling site. Sampling activities is done once in two weeks for three
