Mapping the groundwater potential zones in Kota Belud, Sabah and its surrounding areas by using the Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing Techniques

The increasing demand for groundwater sources is due to many reasons; increasing in population, increasing in agricultural area, pollution, industrialization and urbanization. The declining supply of clean water every year worsen this situation. This study aims to map the groundwater potential zones...
