Social and Economic Impact Due to Ageing and Climate Change in Sultan Abu Bakar Dam, Cameron Highlands Hydropower Scheme

The ageing of dams and climate change are inevitable. These natural occurrences represent a substantial natural hazard that may negatively affect the community and economy close to the dam in both direct and indirect ways. Our society is currently concerned about climate change, as its effects are b...
