Watersheds have been widely recognized as the best scale at which to govern water. At the geographic scale of the watersheds, stakeholders are able to make decisions on how to manage water resources in a setting more conducive to participation. Through coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources, economic and social welfare can be optimized without compromising sustainability of vital environmental systems. Sungai Selangor is an important water resource for the state of Selangor. It is the major contributor in meeting water demand to the Selangor State and Kuala Lumpur. Since early days, Sungai Selangor has played a central role in the development of settlements in northern Selangor. Theresearch described here is an attempt to understand the development forces operating in the Sungai Selangor watershed. The approach taken is intentionally multi-disciplinary, as it attempts to paint a broad brush picture of the current situation within the Sungai Selangor watershed. Increasing pressures on land development is a major factor that causes land use conflicts in the watershed. Spatial-environmental governance should improve collaboration and connections between citizens and decision-makers at the watershed scale. Many issues within the economic, social or environmental realm necessitate an understanding of the spatial context within which such forces operate. The book is organized in ten chapters, each chapter being devoted towards addressing particular issues considered prevalent or outstanding within the community living within the watershed. Although the book has been written in an academic manner, it should also appeal to the general public and students in higher education institutions as it relates to topical issues. Beginner researchers may find that the discussion of various issues within a location-specific context might spark off their interest to begin their own research on particular aspects that appeal to their own area of expertise.

Deklarasi Rio 1992 telah memperluaskan konsep pembangunan mapan dengan mengambil pendekatan yang bersifat holistik meliputi dimensi pembangunan ekonomi, keterlibatan sosial dan kelestarian persekitaran. Kini konsep pembangunan mapan telah diarusperdanakan oleh Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu melalui Agenda Pembangunan Mapan 2030 yang telah merangka satu set 17 Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan (Sustainable Development Goals- SDG) untuk dilaksanakan oleh semua negara melalui penubuhan Rangka Kerja Nasional. Pelaksanaan SDG bertujuan untuk mencapai kesejahteraan global dalam jangka panjang melalui penggunaan dan pengurusan sumber ekonomi dan sumber asli secara bijaksana, dan pada masa yang sama, perlu menghormati manusia dan segala bentuk kehidupan. Usaha untuk mencapai Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan ini tentunya lebih mencabar dalam kes ekosistem pulau kecil. Pulau kecil, seperti Pulau Pangkor yang menjadi tumpuan kajian dalam buku ini, sering menghadapi keterancaman ekonomi kerana bergantung kepada beberapa aktiviti ekonomi asas seperti perikanan dan pelancongan. Walaupun sektor pelancongan berpotensi besar untuk meningkatkan sumber ekonomi pulau, pembangunan pelancongan mesti dijalankan dalam kerangka daya tampung sesebuah pulau. Selain daripada tekanan aktiviti pelancongan, ekosistem pulau juga perlu menampung permintaan penduduk tempatan untuk membina kawasan tempat tinggal dan infrastruktur asas. Semakin ramai penduduk dan semakin rancak aktiviti pembangunannya, maka semakin banyak sumber asli pulau, termasuk kawasan hutan, perlu digunakan. Sifat pembangunan mapan itu berkonsep normatif menjangkau beberapa skala temporal dan spatial, dan mempunyai pelbagai pemegang taruh. Matlamat pembangunan mapan tidak mungkin dicapai tanpa elemen tadbir urus (governance) yang cekap. Tadbir urus pulau ke arah pencapaian pembangunan mapan melibatkan banyak isu yang menyentuh pelbagai aspek ekonomi, sosial, politik dan alam sekitar. Pendekatan multisektoral dan multidisiplin diperlukan untuk memahami isu yang wujud dalam konteks pembangunan sebuah pulau. Buku ini, yang mengandungi 11 bab, mengetengahkan hasil penelitian yang telah dibuat oleh pengkaji di Pusat Kajian UMSERGE dengan dibiayai oleh dana penyelidikan Universiti Malaya. Hasil kajian ini bermanfaat untuk penguasa tempatan, penggubal dasar, komuniti tempatan dan pemegang taruh yang lain yang perlu memahami dinamik isu pembangunan yang wujud di pulau ini. Buku ini sesuai dijadikan rujukan oleh penyelidik tempatan dan pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi untuk meneruskan agenda penyelidikan dalam bidang pembangunan mapan.

On 9 May 2018, Malaysia’s Barisan Nasional (BN) government lost the country’s 14th general election (GE14). Replacing it was the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, made up of four parties, three of which had had experience cooperating with each other for a decade, namely Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah). The fourth was the new Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) led by Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The election also saw equally significant changes at the state government level. PH now controlled seven states in total, up from two, while BN went from controlling ten states to retaining but two. PAS regained Terengganu and with its control over Kelantan now held the two East Coast states. The Sabah state government, held by Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) aligned itself with PH, while the Sarawak state government chose to stick with BN. As many as ten of the sixty promises listed in the PH 2018 election manifesto related to federalism and Sabah and Sarawak, an indication of the growing importance of these two states (and of state issues more generally). The PH administration’s two significant set-ups were the Special Select Committee on States and Federal Relations and the Special Cabinet Committee on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). Serious attempts were made to address concerns by both committees, with achievements being more visible in the Special Cabinet Committee on MA63, possibly due to the greater attention given on Sabah and Sarawak. Issues brought up within the Parliamentary Special Select Committee were not substantively addressed. PH’s time in power saw how states aligned to it maintained a smooth working relationship with the federal government. What was more interesting to note was that even non-PH aligned states such as Kelantan, Terengganu and Perlis also received favourable attention from the federal government. Federal-state relations were much more aggressively tackled under the PH government than under any other preceding administration.

Hydrology in Practice is an excellent and very successful introductory text for engineering hydrology students who go on to be practitioners in consultancies, the Environment Agency, and elsewhere. This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, while retaining all that is excellent about its predecessor, by Elizabeth M. Shaw, replaces the material on the Flood Studies Report with an equivalent section on the methods of the Flood Estimation Handbook and its revisions. Other completely revised sections on instrumentation and modelling reflect the many changes that have occurred over recent years. The updated text has taken advantage of the extensive practical experience of the staff of JBA Consulting who use the methods described on a day-to-day basis. Topical case studies further enhance the text and the way in which students at undergraduate and MSc level can relate to it. The fourth edition will also have a wider appeal outside the UK by including new material on hydrological processes, which also relate to courses in geography and environmental science departments. In this respect the book draws on the expertise of Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell, who have extensive experience of field hydrological studies in a variety of different environments, and have taught undergraduate hydrology courses for many years. Second- and final-year undergraduate (and MSc) students of hydrology in engineering, environmental science, and geography departments across the globe, as well as professionals in environmental protection agencies and consultancies, will find this book invaluable. It is likely to be the course text for every undergraduate/MSc hydrology course in the UK and in many cases overseas too.

Trees have been around for more than 370 million years, and today there are about 80 thousand species of them, occupying 3.5 billion hectares worldwide, including 250 million ha of commercial plantations. While forests can provide tremendous environmental, social, and economic benefits to nations, they also affect the hydrologic cycle in different ways. As the demand for water grows and local precipitation patterns change due to global warming, plantation forestry has encountered an increasing number of water-related conflicts worldwide. This document provides a country-by-country summary of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between forest management and water resources. Based on available research publications, the Editor-in-Chief of this document contacted local scientists from countries where the impact of forest management on water resources is an issue, inviting them to submit a chapter.

Changes in the use of land reflect a variety of environmental and social factors, necessitating an equally varied suite of data to be used for effective analysis. While remote sensing, both from satellites and air photos, provides a central resource for study, socio-economic surveys, censuses, and map sources also supply a wealth of valid informati
