Characterization of water quality conditions in the Klang River Basin, Malaysia using self organizing map and K-means algorithm

This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal pattern of the water quality data and identifying the sources of pollution in the Klang River Basin. The self organizing map (SOM) combined with the K-means algorithm arranged the data based on the relationships of 25 variables. The data from 2006 to...
