| Summary: | Physically, water barrage structures are designed to control water level in rivers and
water catchments. The construction of water barrages must take into consideration the
ecosystem particularly if involves significant change of water level. Seasonal water level
fluctuations at Chini Lake require the construction of water barrage at the mouth of Chini
River so as to ensure optimum water level for tourist boats during dry seasons. The
construction of the water barrage however affects local tourism and human activities.
This article discusses the impacts of the construction of water barrage on tourism activity
and local people living along the shore of Chini Lake. Based on primary and secondary
data, the study finds that Chini Lake has good potential as an ecotourism destination. This
article concludes that the construction of the water barrage in 1995 has resulted in
negative implications to environment and the local people. These negative environmental
and social impacts could have been avoided if the views of the local people are taken into
account in the planning and construction of the water barrage |
