Seasonal dynamics of water quality in response to land use changes in the Chi and Mun River Basins Thailand.

ABSTRACT: The Chi and Mun River Basins, the primary tributary of the Mekong River Basin in Thailand, is undergoing significant land use changes that impact water quality. Understanding the relationship between land use and water quality is crucial for effective river basin management, providing insights applicable to global water systems. While past studies have examined water quality in the Mekong River Basin, research specifically focusing on the Chi-Mun River Basin remains limited. This study analyzes the spatial and temporal effects of land use changes on water quality from 2007 to 2021 using land use change estimation, 11 water quality parameters, and redundancy analysis (RDA). Water samples were collected in January, March, May, and August across multiple years. Seasonal variations were assess
