Reference is made to Kinta Valley as main center of Malayan tin industry and to widespread erosion leading to rapid deterioration of river, caused by progressive mining of catchment area; early local attempts to remedy this deterioration; discussion of post-war canalization of 22 mi length of river, forming Kinta River deviation; attempt is made to consider available information affecting catchment runoff and to relate this to capacity and characteristics of channel as constructed; main points in construction of different sections of deviation are described. (See also Instn Civ Engrs -- Proc v 24 Jan 1963 p 29-46, 2 plates)
