Watershed Analysis of the Semenyih River Basin, Selangor, Malaysia

The Semenyih River Basin has undergone various degrees of land use changes since the last decade, particularly associated with urbanization and industrialization. The total area of the basin is 266.60 km² and contains 36 sub-catchments with sizes ranging from 1.37 to 35.57 km². An integrated stud...
