The water quality of the Lupar and AI river systems (Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo) in light of increasing anthropogenic activity and the social implications

Historically, populations across Malaysia settled next to rivers in order to provide and safeguard essential goods and services such as a source of drinking water, protein food resources, areas for washing, sanitation and transportation. Settlements along the Lupar and Ai rivers (Figure 1) are no ex...
