Benefit of forest conservation on river water quality

The study was carried out in several selected forests catchments namely Wang Kelian, Endau, Rompin, Gunung Jerai, Stong, Gunung Mandi Angin, Ulu Muda, Taman rimba Kenong and Coupe 1999. All the selected forest catchments are considered as conservation forest except Coupe 1999 in Sabah. Coupe 1999 wa...
