The physical and chemical properties of water and sandy soil found in the ex-mining lake regions in Malaysia

The Lake catchments are important bodies of water for water management to maintain the ecological balance of a region, rural, state, and urban areas. Water quality can be assessed by evaluating the physical, biological, and chemical characteristics. However, the criteria for evaluation vary dependin...

Most of the environmental damage in the past two decades was caused by the growth of mining operations, which led to the shutdown and abandonment of mines and the development of an ex-mining lake.
