Soil erosion assessment in Tasik Chini Catchment using remote sensing and gis techniques

Over many years, forested land transformation into urban, agriculture and mining areas within Tasik Chini Catchment become more intense. These activities have negatively affected the catchment through soil erosion and increased the amount of sediments that deposited into the lake. Hence, the present...
