Evaluation of the relationship between land use and surface water quality in Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang, Malaysia

Watershed hydrology depends on the land use type, climatic condition and soil characteristics. The present study was carried out to use catchments based approach to examine possible statistical and spatial relationships of land use on the quantity and quality of surface water. Water quality tests we...

The present study was carried out to use catchments based approach to examine possible statistical and spatial relationships of land use on the quantity and quality of surface water. Water quality tests were carried out in laboratory for samples collected at four locations. These included biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solid (TSS), total nitrogen, total phosphorus and pH. Water quality is examined spatially and statically.
