Establishment of Dataset for Development Activities within Water Catchments Areas using GIS

Methodologies

Conclusion

• Data Collection
• Collect all GIS-re lated data (geospatial data and attribute data) from available sources such as Environmental Report (EMR), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

• For those development activities which are not regulated under the NREB,there is a need for acquisition of additional data from other agencies including Public Works Department, Forest Department, Land and Survey Department, State Water Authority, Department of Environment, Malaysia and others. The data related to land use and development activities collected from all agencies must be properly inventoried for future data updating. Therefore, the data must be collated in both soft and hardcopy.

• GIS Metadata and Data Documentation
• Metadata must be created and recorded according to standard format, for example, ArcGIS. Metadata consist of description , spatial and attributes. Besides, all the data must be documented with proper folder structure, filename for effective checking and preservation of a dataset, and utmost, to ease archiving process. This is important to avoid confusion, loss of data and wasted time in locating data.

• Projection and Datum (BRSO)

• Data Conversion

• Data Validation

• Data Analysis & Recommendation on Criteria/Requirements for Relocation

Output

1) A complete dataset for all development projects within Water Supply Catchment Areas and Identified Water Supply Catchment Areas in Sarawak.

2) The recommendation on the criteria and requirements for projects relocation and rehabilitation within the Water Supply Catchment Areas and Identified Water Supply Catchment Areas is to be made.

3) Report or assessment on the critical issues within Water Supply Catchment Areas and Identified Water Supply Catchment Areas.

4) The recommendation on requirements (hardware & software) of GIS System setup in NREB.
