| Summary: | Rainfall and land use (LU) changes play a key role in the hydrologic behaviour of a
watershed such as runoff generation and its regulation. Recent increasing trends of
flooding in Perak have made it ambiguous that how much changes in thesefactots oh
the spatio-temporal scale can affect the hydrology of Perak River Basin and its
tributaries. This study mainly quantifies the impact of LU changes on the hydrological
behaviour of river basins in Perak, Malaysia. Therefore, the specific objectives were to
investigate the spatio-temporal trends of rainfall and LU variations in Perak, and model
their effects using HEC-HMS model for future LU scenarios. |
