Flood simulation model was carried out along Terengganu River for dry and rainy seasons. The result of the simulation shows the water level reached its maximum le with the highest flow of Q = 155.90m value of Q and this because it is at the upstream of the River, while stations 2, 3 and 4 are almost dry because they are at the downstream of the river. Similarly, a 10 years data was also modeled as a secondary data to validate the primary data. This shows that, the simulation was good and XP-SWMM is compatible for flood simulation.

The development of oil palm plantations, particularly in the regions, West Kalimantan, raises problems for the natural environment and local, national and global communities. Since the opening of oil palm plantations in 1980 in West Kalimantan, which since 1982 has been managed with the pattern of Inti Rakyat (PIR-Bun), slowly but surely changed the mindset of the Dayak indigenous people towards jungles or Ulayat lands. Its influence is increasingly felt in the behavior and social life of the local community. Dayaks are experiencing a "world view" change in the forest. Those who since time immemorial are friendly with nature and uphold traditional principles, now their lives are on the one hand leaving ancestral traditions and following the trend of oil palm plantations, but on the other hand their lives are increasingly cornered by the existence of oil palm plantations and management of oil palm plantations wastes. Permissive attitude and pragmatism of the ruling party has resulted in changes in the "world view" of the local community. They no longer respect nature or the forest as the "sacred realm". The community is increasingly pragmatic, hedonistic and consumptive. Customs and local wisdom in the form of family values, mutual cooperation, loyalty to the community, humility, sincerity, respect for nature and others fade. The jungle and the 'Tembawang forest' as customary rights are largely left to the story.

Stream behaviors can provide guidance for future problem in this basin. This study discusses on the development of stream classification system on tropical areas with statistical approval based on remote sensing, geographical information system, and river hydrographic survey based on Rosgen classification system. Pahang River Basin is the longest river in Peninsular Malaysia and the main channel to drain off water from the inundated area of Pahang Basin to the South China Sea. The environmental statistical techniques were used to identify the clustering development on the tropical river system using hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis (HACA), discriminant analysis (DA) and principal component analysis (PCA). The HACA results indicated that the main of Pahang tropical river system is classed into three main clusters namely the upstream reach, middle stream reach and downstream reach. The calibration and validation analyses proved the DA with 100% confident level. The PCA indicates three variables demonstrated significant correlations that are domination slope R 2 = 0.796, bankfull width-to-depth ratio R 2 = −0868, and sinuosity R 2 = 0.557, respectively. Model of stream classification system with future geomorphology process and problem expectations is produced where the first class considered in terrace and valley erosion zone, second class in a low terrace of land near the channels and sediment transports zone, and third class in valley deposition and floodplain zone. The results are important to local authorities as a decision support system using the river clustering model for Pahang River Basin.
