3 OVERVIEW
Climate change resilience can be generally defined as the capacity for a socio-ecological system to: 1. absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and 2. adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations that improve the sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future climate change impacts. or it is the ability to survive and recover from the effects of climate change.

4 Key Area of Probable OVERVIEW Vulnerabilities to Climate Change
FLOODS HYDROELECTRIC POWER RIVER FLOW An increase Changes in flow decrease clean Changes in river in extreme power generation flow impacts water weather will supply, water lead to higher quality, fisheries river flow, and recreation runoff and activities flooding
DROUGHTS Higher temperatures AGRICULTURE changes in Increase demand for precipitation will irrigation lead to droughts
HABITAT Warmer river DELTA LEVEES temperatures Sea level rise will stress cold-water threaten Delta levees GROUNDWATER species Lower water tables due to hydrologic WATER QUALITY changes and greater Salt water intrusion from demand cause some WATER USE rising sea levels will shallow wells to go dry Demand for affect the Delta and agriculture, urban & coastal aquifers environmental water will increase 5 OVERVIEW Facts about Malaysia: . Country: consist of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak; total land area – 330,000 km2 & bounded by a coastline 4800km; . Climate: characterized by uniform temperature, high humidity and copious rainfall mainly due to maritime influence; . Rainfall distribution: affected by the seasonal wind flow pattern coupled with the local topographic features; . Annual rainfall: 2,000mm to 4,000mm; much influenced by two monsoon periods occur between November-March and May-September; . Annual rainfall volume: 320 billion m3 for Peninsular Malaysia; 194 billion m3 for Sabah, and 476 billion m3 for Sarawak; and more than 150 river system; . Groundwater resources: (safe yield per year) 14,700 million m3 in Peninsular Malaysia, 5,500 million m3 in Sarawak, and 3,300 million m3 in Sabah . Main water supply: 97% sourced from rivers and reservoirs 6 Observed Climate Change in Malaysia . Increased in ambient Temperature: . Mean Annual Maximum Temperature: Highest changes based on 61 years record (1951-2012) is 0.7°C per decade (Source: MMD)
. Rainfall . Increased rainfall intensity -> 1- hour rainfall intensity (2000-2007) increased by 17% compared to 1970s values (Source: JPS)
. “Extremely High Intensity” rainfall (540mm/day) . Dec 2013: Massive floods in Kuantan & Kemaman . Flood damages ~ roads, bridges, slopes, schools, houses, agriculture (Source: NAHRIM)

1) Water Resources 2) Agriculture 3) Forestry 4) Biodiversity 5) Public Health 6) Energy 7) Infrastructure 8) Socio-Economic
DROUGHT IMPACTS ON WATER RESOURCES SECTOR
Water excess (extreme rainfall, flows) . Increase in severity of floods . Increase in soil erosion -> scouring of drainage structures and sedimentation in rivers
Water shortage (drought) . Reduced inflows to reservoirs . Reduced stream-flows -> affect raw water abstraction . Reduced recharge of groundwater

2) Change in Discharge
Increase in demand for extraction, Due to changes in river stage.
3) Change in Storage
Due to change in recharge, Due to change in extraction, Due to sea level rise leads to saline intrusion.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Addressing climate change requires a dual approach which integrates 1. mitigation – actions aimed at reducing the sources or enhancing the sinks of greenhouse gases – and 2. adaptation or resilience building – dealing with the residual impacts of and opportunities presented by climate change.
51 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The hydro-climate data over Peninsular Malaysia (PM) for the 21st century, generated by NAHRIM RegHCM- PM2, (hourly intervals at the scale of hill slopes of 11 selected watersheds for 1440 years) provides significant opportunity to the National Stake- holders to re-evaluate the PM’s water resources and its existing and planned hydraulic structures under the hydro-climate conditions of the next 90 years of the 21st century with respect to: DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
A: Floods:
. The capacities of the existing and planned dam spillways . The capacities of the existing and planned flood levees . The flood operation rules for the existing and planned dams . Delineation of flood zones for the important urban and industrial areas under various return period flood magnitudes (peaks and volumes) during the 21st century; DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION B. Droughts/Water Supply • Evaluation of existing/planned dam reservoir capacities, and revising their dimensions, if necessary; • Development of the operation rules of existing/ planned dams • In order to meet the specified water demands during the 21st century: • utilise the hydro-climate conditions at the particular drainage areas of the specified dams, already simulated by this study at 11 selected watersheds of PM. • Dam operation studies that can be performed by means of the projected dam inflows (already simulated by this study) can determine the necessary reservoir capacities in order to meet the critical water demands during future droughts with their quantified risks.
