AB  - Iskandar Malaysia, a new Southern development corridor established on 30 July, 
  2006 in the state of Johor, Malaysia is one of the catalyst developments to 
  help in the development and growth of the Malaysian economy. Iskandar Malaysia 
  is approximately three times the size of Singapore. One of the primary goals 
  of Iskandar Malaysia is the development of a strong and sustainable metropolis. 
  The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of Iskandar Malaysia on the 
  river basins within this area for the period 2000-2009. This timeline allows 
  for a pre and post evaluation of Iskandar Malaysia as it was established in 
  2006. The research methodology adopted was trend analysis. The findings on the 
  eight river basins in Iskandar Malaysia indicated that one was classified as 
  clean, three as slightly polluted and the remaining four as polluted. Trend 
  analysis for the above period did not show any changes in terms of classification 
  with the exception of the Johor River Basin which improved from slightly polluted 
  to clean. A pre and post evaluation on the immediate implementation of Iskandar 
  Malaysia did not result in the overall deterioration of river basin water quality.
