As mentioned in Chapter 2, this Project two (2) sites, i.e. 1) the reclamation site, where proposed reclamation and capital dredging in near vicinity to attain the required draft; and 2) the proposed sand borrow site, where sand materials will be extracted and transported to the reclamation site. The purpose of describing the existing environmental setting is to establish a reliable “baseline”, which is an important pre-requisite for undertaking an environmental impact assessment and future project monitoring. 3.2 Physico-Chemical Environment 3.2.1 Bathymetry The bathymetrical database for this DEIA study is derived from the C-Map electronic chart. All depths are referred to chart datum and reference in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM-50) coordinate system. Reclamation site: This site is located on the western side of Rancha-Rancha Industrial area facing the Sg Kina Benuwa bay. The bay morphology is composed by a mixture of sand mud and low lying rocks. The bathymetric at this site ranges from -1 MSL to -7 MSL. Sand borrow site: The bathymetric at this site ranges between -5 MSL and -12 MSL (from north to south).

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

  • The Outlook of Rural Water Supply in Developing Country: Review on Sabah, Malaysia
    BORNEO SCIENCE 41 (1) : MARCH 2020 THE OUTLOOK OF RURAL WATER SUPPLY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY: REVIEW ON SABAH, MALAYSIA Rosalam Sarbatly1, Farhana Abd Lahin2*, Chel-Ken Chiam3 1, 2, 3 Membrane Technology Research Group, Material and Mineral Research Unit, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected], 2*[email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT. This paper reviews the challenges in the water supply provision, water source availability and quality and the distribution approaches in rural Sabah. The main challenges to provide potable water in Sabah is the variance in terrain and geographical distance between populated regions. Review reveals that other than the river water, average annual precipitation of 3000 millimetres (mm) could be harvested for domestic and agricultural purposes. Numbers of aquifer uncovered in the eastern and western region of Sabah with underlying sandstone and Quaternary Alluvium have significant potential for groundwater reservoirs. Aquifer along the coastal areas and islands around Sabah also gives sufficient potable water supplies. Minimal pollutant content was found in all water sources and acceptable under the National Water Standard of Malaysia, except for contaminants coming from septic tanks and agricultural activities. A decentralized water system is more beneficial for Sabah’s rural areas. Smaller scaled plants are flexible to collect from any water sources and treat at the point of use. Expenditure is significantly decreased by a shorter distribution network and lower installation and maintenance cost. Nonetheless, the treatment utilized may be limited to a simpler process as semi- skilled or un-skilled personnel will be required to operate and maintain the system.

Bhd. *Back cover photo credit to Mr. Awg. Shaminan Dtk. Hj. Awg. Sahari Preface In Sabah, around 53% of the total state land is designated as protected area or conservation site within which human activities are strictly regulated. A large scale plantation industry has been put in place and population growth has been the threats for natural resources around and near the border of protected area and conservation site. There have been increasing needs to develop new incentive mechanism for the better natural resource management. In the meantime, regardless of rapid economic development in Malaysia, Sabah is still suffering from poverty. Most of the needy people live in the mountainous area, thus rural development for poverty eradication is essential for human well-being. Sabah needs to pursue way toward a society in harmony with nature where harmonization between conservation and development can be realized. Sabah has some outstanding management systems like land-use control and environment awareness programme (Environmental Education). In order to promote environment-friendly and sustainable development more, integrated and innovative approaches are indispensable. Considering the above-mentioned matters, IlCA-SDBEC conducted the study on "Economics of River Basin Management for Sustainable Development for Biodiversity and Ecosystems Conservation" from December 2014 to February 2015.

The Convention outlines three main objectives: (1) the conservation of biological diversity; (2) the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and (3) the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. In 2010, in view of the continued decline of global biodiversity, parties to the CBD, in Nagoya, Japan, adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 with the purpose of inspiring broad-based action in support of biodiversity over the next decade by all countries and stakeholders. The Strategic Plan has 20 headline targets termed the “Aichi Biodiversity Targets”, organised under five strategic goals that address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, reduce the pressures on biodiversity, safeguard biodiversity at all levels, enhance the benefits provided by biodiversity, and provide for capacity-building.

  • Aquatic Insects and Water Quality Study at Kimanis River, Crocker Range National Park, Sabah, Malaysia

The sampling was carried out using surber net in October 2015 and January 2016. A total of 1,801 individuals from nine orders of 28 families were collected from Kimanis River. Trichopterans fauna was found to be the prominent taxa in this study. Shannon-Wiener Index of upstream strata was recorded slightly higher than downstream strata with H’= 1.97 and H’= 1.85 respectively. Water integrity of Kimanis River could be considered as excellent with minimal pollution. Both water quality parameters and biotic indices indicated that the aquatic insect population was affected by the water quality in their surroundings. This proved the use of aquatic insect communities as bioindicator for rapid assessment of water quality in CRP. Keywords: aquatic insect communities, trichopterans fauna, Shannon-Wiener Index, physico-chemical parameters, biotic indices, water integrity Introduction Aquatic macroinvertebrates are the key inhabitant of the freshwater ecosystem and serve an important role in keeping the ecosystem intact.
