Salt water intrusion in the Kuantan Estuary has become crucial due to the extreme El-Nino event that occurred from the end of year 2015 to early 2016. This phenomena has caused water supply disruption in the area as the sea water has reached the water abstraction station at Kobat. Conducting detaile...
