Polluted Kelantan River Threatens Drinking Water for Millions in Malaysia
The study looked at water quality in the Kelantan River in Malaysia from 2005 to 2018. They measured different factors like temperature, pH, and oxygen levels to see how clean the water was. During the dry season in 2005, the water quality was good. But as more construction and human activities happened near the river, the water quality got worse. By 2017 and 2018, the water was classified as poor quality. This information can help water managers make better decisions to keep the water clean for everyone to use.
