Abstract
Geomorphic and morphodynamic characteristics of Akah River in Sarawak, Malaysia in north-western Borneo were modelled using geographical information system assisted techniques and geomorphometric indices. Stream properties such as longitudinal profile, stream length gradient index (SL), channel slope, hypsometric curve, hypsometric integral, sinuosity index and channel cross profiles were analyzed.
