Discuss more about river water quality issues in Malaysia. Briefly discuss the pollution status, potential mitigating measures and link the discussion of water pollution with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rapid urbanisation and population increase have resulted in an ever-increasing demand for water, as well as rising levels of water pollution in Malaysia. Rapid growth has resulted in a large volume of human garbage, including home, industrial, commercial, and transportation trash, all of which unavoidably end up in water bodies. A vast number of rivers are so polluted that the consequences are so severe that they can no longer be rehabilitated. As a result, providing access to clean and safe water has become a huge task for water authorities to overcome. As a result, conservative water quality monitoring procedures and water conservation are recommended. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Ammoniacal Nitrogen (NH3-N), and Suspended Solids are the main contaminants in Malaysian rivers and lakes (SS). Untreated or partly treated sewage from manufacturing and agro-based businesses contributes significantly to high BOD levels. Domestic sources of NH3-N are the most common.
