Abstract: One of the main ecotourism areas in Malaysia is Cameron Highlands and due to illegal farming and uncontrolled logging, the rivers are being polluted. The main problems lie in Cameron Highlands included stormwater management, water quantity and water quality issues, sedimentation problem, mud flood as well as erosion and landslide occurrence. Therefore, this research is generating the stormwater and drainage Master Plan for the Cameron Highlands. The research aims to minimize the flooding impacts due to inadequacies in stormwater and drainage systems in urban areas and agricultural farms and provide a holistic solution which cultivated a specific guideline for agricultural in hilly areas. The recommended stormwater management master plan is focused on providing quantity and quality control system, sedimentation basins and slope protection work. The master plan also takes into consideration non-structural measures such as public awareness programs and law enforcement scheme. Finally, the research shows the Erosion Induced Landslide Risk Maps for Cameron Highlands Catchment for the stakeholders and farmers. This research thus plays a big role in generating the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) guidelines as one of the stormwaters and drainage master plan component in Cameron Highlands for the relevant authority’s agency.
