    Effects of land use configuration, seasonality and point source on water quality in a tropical watershed: A case study of the Johor River Basin
    (Elsevier, 2021) Hui Ying Pak; C. Joon Chuah; Ee Ling Yong; Shane A. Snyder
    In the recent years, there have been several occurrences of pollution in these rivers, which has generated concerns over the long-term sustainability of the water resources in the JRB. Specifically, this water resource is a shared commodity between two states, namely, Johor state of Malaysia and Singapore, a neighbouring country adjacent to Malaysia. Prior to this study, few research on the influence of land use configuration on water quality have been conducted in Johor. In addition, it is also unclear how water quality varies under different seasonality in the presence of point sources. In this study, we investigated the influence of land use and point sources from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) on the water quality in the JRB.
