Description
Summary:The study entitle! ' Contamination Molcling in Selected Areas of Cameron Highlands using Geographical Information System (GIS)' is aimed to model the flow of contaminants from its possihble sources to the surrounding within the study area. Data needed in this study arc, the location of sources of contaminants, contour line map, land use map and river map of Cameron Highlands. These data arc in different layers with different features and information. These data wert then operated under GIS software using its operation like map overlays, spatial analyst and hydrologic modeling. Several output maps were produced from the operations. Interpretation of the output maps were taken place afterwards to determine the most critical areas that arc seriously aflcctcd by the sourccs identified. front this study, US tool is decided to be a convenience tool for modeling since it can complement some of the conventional method's weaknesses.
