Attenuation of River Contaminant using River Bank Infiltration in Jenderam Hilir, Dengkil, Selangor

: Bank infiltration (BI) refers to the process of surface water seeping from the bank or bed of a river to the groundwater production wells. During the water’s passage through the ground, its quality changes due to microbial, c...
