“…Of indirect relevance to the present study would be the water absorption tests in boreholes in slightly weathered, friable meta-sedimentary bedrock carried out for the Cameron Highlands Hydro-Electric Scheme (Dickinson & Gerrard, 1963). These tests yielded coefficients of permeability ranging from 0.324 to 4.32 cm/hr (90 to 2,000 ft/year); a range that encompasses most of the results of the present study (Table 10).…”

“…Field and laboratory tests furthermore, yielded coefficients of permeability between 0.36 and 3.60 cm/hr for moderately weathered granite (Grade III), between 1.62 and 32.40 cm/ hr for highly weathered granite (Grades IV and V), and between 1.01 and 9.36 cm/hr for completely weathered granite (Grade VI). Water absorption tests in boreholes in fresh to slightly weathered meta-sedimentary bedrock in the Cameron Highlands Hydro-Electric Scheme yielded coefficients of permeability between 0.11 and 0.90 cm/hr and those in friable weathered schist, coefficients between 0.32 and 4.32 cm/hr (Dickinson & Gerrard, 1963).…”

“…After leaving the Jor Power Station, the spent waters of all the rivers are carried through the Tailrace Tunnel into the Sg. Batang Padang, where a number of other hydro-electric power stations are located, before flowing westward into the Malacca Strait (Dickinson & Gerrard, 1963).…”

“…In 1956, before construction work on the Hydro-Electric Power Scheme started, studies showed that some 732 m 3 / km2/yr (10.09 ton/halyr) of 'soil loss' occurred from areas planted with vegetables, 488 m3/km2/yr (6.73 ton/halyr) from areas covered with tea and only some 24.5 m31km 2 / yr (0.33 ton/halyr) from forested areas (Shallow, 1956). Based on the percentage of the different land use within the catchment areas of rivers draining into the Ringlet Reservoir at that time, it was calculated that the Reservoir would have a useful life of about 80 years at a mean sedimentation rate of 109 m 3 /km 2 /year (Dickinson & Gerrard, 1963).…”
