| Summary: | The current development in the coastal zones of the state of Sarawak is characterized by
insufficient integration, coordination and cooperation amongst federal, state and local
governments and other stakeholders. The direct implication of poor coordination may
give rise to complicated and undesirable negative environmental impacts on the state
coastal zones. This study is focused on the Sg. Kejapil water catchment, in Miri Division. The abundant
natural resources within the water catchment area such as timber, water and its relief
characterized by undulating plain attract many stakeholders. The uncontrolled human
activities within the water catchment area have resulted in negative environmental
impacts on Sg. Kejapil water catchment and its raw water.
This study has confirmed that there are negative environmental impacts on Sg. Kejapil
raw water due land development sited in the upper region of the catchment. Results show
that the concentration levels of the ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in Sg. Kejapil
raw water are increasing from 1997 to October 1999. |
