THE MOST WESTERN PART OF SARAWAK RIVER BASIN
Date : April 23, 2006
West of Bau area is the waterhead of some tributaries of Sungai Sarawak. That area is less than 3km (estimate) from the waterhead of Batang Kayan basin. My initial plan was to survey & compare the fishes from the streams of waterhead of Sungai Sarawak & Batang Kayan. However, I need to cut the trip short after ascending to the summit of a hill which separate these two river basin. I was almost dehydrated when I reached the summit of that hot & dry hill as I forgot to bring my water container. It was a worst deforested site that only small trees, shrubs & ferns growing along the abandoned logging road.
