  • River Modelling to Infer Flood Management Framework
    Technical note River modelling to infer flood management framework Darrien Yau Seng Mah1*, Ching Poon Hii2, Frederik Josep Putuhena2 and Sai Hin Lai3 1River Engineering and Urban Drainage Research Centre (REDAC), Universiti Sains Malaysia, Engineering Campus, Seri Ampangan, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Penang, Malaysia 2Department of Civil Engineering (Water & Environment), Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, km-17 Kuching Samarahan Expressway, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia 3 Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract River hydraulic models have successfully identified the weaknesses and areas for improvement with respect to flooding in the Sarawak River system, and can also be used to support decisions on flood management measures. Often, the big ques- tion is ‘how’. This paper demonstrates a theoretical flood management framework inferred from Sarawak River modelling outputs. The river model simulates the movement of flood waters through river reaches. Information on flood levels and overtopping of embankments is used to guide a flood early warning system. The above-mentioned elements were combined in a logical framework that showed logic sequences and impact indicators for improved flood relief activities in the city of Kuching, Malaysia. Keywords: Flood, framework, InfoWorks RS, logframe, river modelling Background South China N The Sarawak River system has been the sub- Sea ject of numerous studies, due to the location of Kuching, the capital of Sarawak State, Malaysia, within the basin. The state government has invested huge amounts of resources and time Salak River in researching the river. Two very important Sarawak River outputs of those funded projects have been the East Malaysia States Kuching topographical and hydrological data essential to City Sabah river modelling (Dyhouse et al., 2003).
