This study was conducted at Telom and Bertam catchment area in the Cameron Highlands district of Pahang Malaysia (FIGURE 1). It is located at latitude 04° 24’N-04° 29’N and longitude 101° 21’E-101° 23’E. In this study, RUSLE model was integrated with satellite images and GIS to predict the sediment yield in Cameron Highlands. Two methods have been used to calculate sediment yield in the study area which is by using GIS environment and field observation.

Sediment yield analysis using field data shows that the value of SY ranged from 80.04 to 4372.541 ton/ha/year with the mean 1242.22 ton/ha/year. There is high correlation (r = 0.80) between predicted SY and the measured data. A comprehensive approach of planning and management program is needed for the development of Cameron Highlands in order to reduce the occurrence of potential disaster such as soil erosion, sedimentation and flash food.
