Predicting sediment load and runoff in Geo WEPP Environment from Langat Sub Basin, Malaysia

Abstract

This study monitors and predicts the sediment load and runoff at the UKM catchment - the Langat sub basin of Peninsular Malaysia using the WEPP software interfaced in ArcGIS 10.2. Within Geo WEPP and WEPP interfaces, TOPAZ algorithm and climate generator (CLIGEN) were used to parameterize the aspects of land cover, slope, climate, soil and topographic data and estimate stochastic climatic parameters respectively.
