Groundwater quality assessment of Labuan Island using GIS

Groundwater has been considered as an important source of water supply due to its relatively low susceptibility to pollution in comparison to surface water, and its large storage capacity (US EPA 1985). It should be mentioned that water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the...
