DEVELOPMENT OF MY RIVER BASIN (NAHRIM INTERGRATED NUMERICAL MODELLING) BERTAM RIVER FOR MALAYSIAN NATIONAL HYDRAULIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NAHRIM)
Based on scientific monitoring and analyses, it has been reported that as human activity increases in Cameron Highlands, the water quality of rivers has deteriorated seriously due to land clearing for agriculture, usage of pesticides and fertilizers including illegal ones, increased solid suspension, and lack of sewage treatment from spreading urbanized areas. In order to obtain basic understanding of the environmental condition in both local scale and watershed scale, we make an intensive numerical study using GETFLOWS that deals with natural hydrologic cycle, water quality change by human activities and solid transport problem (sediment). The results of the study might provide useful information of designing countermeasures, as well as predicting future behavior under human activity and climate change.

Abstract
Based on scientific monitoring and analyses, it has been reported that as human activity increases in Cameron Highlands, the water quality of rivers has deteriorated seriously due to land clearing for agriculture, usage of pesticides and fertilizers including illegal ones, increased solid suspension, and lack of sewage treatment from spreading urbanized areas. In order to obtain basic understanding of the environmental condition in both local scale and watershed scale, we make an intensive numerical study using GETFLOWS that deals with natural hydrologic cycle, water quality change by human activities and solid transport problem (sediment). The results of the study might provide useful information of designing countermeasures, as well as predicting future behavior under human activity and climate change.
