Total Dissolved Solids.

The values of total dissolved

solids (TDS) in the RS are ranging from 17.66 to 80 mg/L.

The highest value obtained was 80 mg/L recorded at station

8, and the lowest value obtained was 17.66 mg/L at station

1 (Figure 2(e)). In addition, the TDS concentrations in the

DS ranged from 24 to 68.66 mg/L. The highest concentration

was 68.66 mg/L recorded at station 8, and the lowest concen-

tration was 24 mg/L at station 2 (Figure 2(e)). In this study,

the concentrations of TDS were less than those reported for

the same basin (range 108−504 mg/L) by [13]. Moreover, It

was noticed that upstream stations have lower TDS values

compared to the downstream ones because anthropogenic

and land use activities were much less at upstream stations.

Besides, TDS results are within the standard allowable levels

of Malaysian rivers and are classified as class I determined

by NWQS [23]. ANOVA result showed that there is no

significant difference (𝑃 > 0.05) in TDS between stations.The

high TDS concentration in the rivers is attributed to presence

extreme anthropogenic activities along the river course and

runoff with high suspended matter
