High levels of pollutants in Han River Basin threaten water quality.
Researchers analyzed water quality indicators in streams, ground water, and reservoirs in agricultural catchments of the Han River Basin. They found that factors like EC, K, Na, and COD significantly influenced water quality. T-N and T-P levels exceeded guidelines in some areas, while Wangsuk stream had higher heavy metal concentrations. EC was the most important factor affecting water quality in all three types of water resources.
