About 100 of these are in Peninsular Malaysia and 50 in East Malaysia Sabah and Sarawak (Chan et al. 2003). The largest river in Malaysia is Sg. Rajang with the catchment area of 51,000 sq.km while in the peninsular is Sungai Pahang with the catchment of 29,000 sq.km ( Chan et al. 2003). In the world standards, Malaysian rivers are short and steep (Keizrul A.,2002)
Water is the only substance which is abundantly available in the earth. Above 71% of earth is covered with water and in human body almost consist of 70% of water. It is an essential constituent of all the animals and vegetables matter and forms about 75% of the matter of earth’s crust. It is only naturally occurring compound that has three forms of matter e.g. solid liquid and gas. Water is distributed forms i.e. rain water and mineral water. Water is the source of life and energy but millions of
1.1 Background of the Study Water is one of the essential commodities in every human society for the day to day activities. Many industries use water for their various productions and this, vehicle washing bays are not exempted. Vehicle washing bays uses large quantity of water in performance of their activities, such as cleaning the exterior and interior motor vehicles and other accessories such as engine, carpets etc. In view of this, there is the need to manage water judiciously
INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Water pollution is a large set of undesirable effects upon water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans and ground water that caused by human activities. This matter requires urgent attention, since water is scarce and such an important resource needs detailed scientific research all over the world in order to sustain and protect the water resource from pollution and for its wise utilization. However, no water in nature is absolutely clean. Even as it rains
1: Indian water scenario: With a rapidly expanding economy many changes are taking place in India today. Some of these changes will have substantial implications on India’s water future. Land use, cropping and water use patterns are changing, partly as responses to changing demographics and consumption patterns, and partly as responses to changing investment scenarios and economic growth. This report attempts to capture the trends of key drivers of water demand in the recent past, and assess their
water quality. Due to unscientific way of dumping of solid waste, pollutants are being added to the ground water system through human activities and natural processes. Solid waste from industrial units is being dumped near the factories, which is subjected to reaction with percolating rain water and reaches the groundwater level. The percolating water picks up a large amount of dissolved constituents and reaches the aquifer system and contaminates the groundwater. Ambajogai city has selected in the
