Estuaries and coastal waters of Strait of Malacca are of Na-Cl water type. Water samples are governed by ionic exchange process and silicate weathering. Na-Cl water types indicating the presence of seawater and halite mineral. Whereas Ca/(Ca+SO4) ratio found that 71% of the water samples indicating...
