Abstract

At present, most academics and practitioners only make assumptions or simplistic correlation between soils in Sabah, Malaysia and soils in West Malaysia in order determine the Soil Erodibility Factor for Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (ESCP) submission apart from using The Soils of Sabah, Volume 5 which is rather archaic or obsolete. This study shall be the foundation for moves to build up databank for Department and Irrigation Drainage (DID) Sabah, Malaysia based on soil taxonomy for erosion and sedimentation control calculations. In term of environmental control application, this research provides specific required information in order to generate precise calculation in projecting the total sediment yield for ESCP for areas around the West Coast of Sabah. Findings of the study would benefit both academicians and ESCP practitioners in generating sediment yield based on Soil Map of Sabah.
