The Impacts of Quarry Activities on Eco-Hydrological Systems

Nowadays, the demand for the mineral resources such as limestone is increasing due to the increase of the concrete and other productions. In Malaysia, the mining and quarrying activities contribute a large portion of the nation’s economy. In the other hand, the quarry activities also can bring so...
