Root cause of groundwater colouration in coastal districts of Bangladesh: findings from a preliminary study
The study characterises the straw-colour in groundwater of coastal areas of Bangladesh. The study design was exploratory to have a better understanding of straw colouration. Findings indicate that the straw-colour is an entirely true colour in Alpha-Hazen Scale due to dissolved organic components ta...
