Tioman Island which is situated in the southeast of Pahang State is one of small
islands in Malaysia that has been promoted as a tourism destination. Based on
previous study, the island requires more than 2000 m'/day of water for domestic
and tourism industry consumption, and the demand is expected to rise due to the
increases in population and tourism activities. Study on groundwater of Tekek
aquifer indicates a good potential for water resource to meet the demand of the
future water-needs in Tioman Island. An intensive study is being carried out to
investigate the quantity of water resources in the island. For predicting the amount
of groundwater potential that can be extracted, ASM (Aquifer Simulation Model)
is used. The paper present the finding of the amount of the groundwater potential
that can be extracted in Tekek, Tioman Island.
