    The continuous trend of river water quality deterioration in Cameron Highlands has raised the issues for discussion in this review article. The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the land use change, agriculture practices, agro-tourism, and agriculture policy and management toward water quality of the river system network in Cameron Highlands specifically in the downtown where most of the development and agriculture activities are concentrated. A rigorous review has been done on the existing literature to determine the relationship between land use change and agriculture practices toward river water quality in Cameron Highlands from 2001 to 2017.

    Land-cover change detection in a part of Cameron Highlands, Malaysia Using ETM+ satellite imagery and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm
    (Thai Society of Higher Eduation Institutes on Environment, 2019) Ayub Mohammadi; Himan Shahabi; Baharin Bin Ahmad
    The importance of the land cover map in many areas including environmental issues, regional planning, sustainable development and many other issues has been considered in the global literature. This study aims to detect land cover changes that occurred in a part of Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia for a decade between early 2008 until the late 2017. However, in this research Landsat-7 (ETM+) satellite data (2008 and 2017) were acquired and corrected using environment for visualizing images (ENVI) software. Support vector machine (SVM) model was used to classify land covers of both years.
