A Study of Assessment Variability of Annual Daily Maximum Rainfall of Pahang, Malaysia ii A STUDY OF ASSESSMENT VARIABILITY OF ANNUAL DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL OF PAHANG, MALAYSIA IZYAN SHAHIRAH AIMI BINTI SHAHARUDDIN Report submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Civil Engineering Faculty of civil Engineering and Earth Resources UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG JUNE 2015 vi ABTRACT This paper deals with a study on rainfall characteristics of Pahang, for the period 1998 to 2013. In December 2014 flooding caused by torrential rainfall had drowned the main roads in the state of Pahang. As a result, the operating aid to flood victims face difficulties. The main objective of this study was to asses the variability of annual daily maximum rainfall. Daily rainfall data from satellite images Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) downloaded from a database of public domain. Then daily rainfall data for each major city in the state of Pahang retrieved using Geographic Information System (GIS). Gumbel distribution function were applied to estimate expected return period of extreme rainfall event. Most cities in the State receiving the highest number of monthly maximum annual rainfall during northeast monsoon (November to January). Daily rainfall is equal to or greater than 347 mm have a return period of 13 years each for Rompin, Pekan and Kuantan. However, every year the town in Pahang will receive daily maximum rainfall 37.85 mm to 128.49 mm. The results of this study can be used in a better understanding of the patterns of rainfall in the state of Pahang and can also be used as a guideline in planning the construction of infrastructure in the future. vii ABSTRAK Kajian ini membincangkan mengenai ciri-ciri curahan hujan Negeri Pahang, bagi tempoh 1998 hingga 2013. Pada Disember 2014 banjir yang disebabkan oleh curahan hujan yang lebat telah menenggelamkan jalan-jalan utama di Negeri Pahang. Akibatnya, operasi bantuan kepada mangsa banjir menghadapi kesukaran. Objektif utama kajian ini adalah untuk menilai kepelbagaian curahan hujan maksimum harian tahunan Negeri Pahang. Data curahan hujan harian dari imej satelit Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) dimuat turun dari pangkalan data domain awam. Kemudian data curahanhujan harian bagi setiap bandar utama di Negeri Pahang diterbitkan menggunakan teknik Sistem Maklumat Geografi (GIS). Gumbel Distribution Function telah digunakan untuk menganggarkan tempoh ulangan jangkaan peristiwa curahan hujan harian yang tertinggi. Kebanyakan bandar di Negeri Pahang menerima jumlah tertinggi hujan tahunan maksimum bulanan pada monsun timur laut (November hingga Januari). Hujan harian yang sama atau lebih daripada 347 mm mempunyai tempoh pulangan 13 tahun masing-masing untuk Rompin, Pekan dan Kuantan. Walau bagaimanapun, setiap tahun bandar di Negeri Pahang akan menerima hujan maksimum harian 37.85 mm hingga 128.49 mm. Hasil kajian ini boleh digunakan dalam pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang corak hujan di Negeri Pahang dan boleh juga untuk dijadikan garis panduan dalam perancangan pembinaan infrastruktur di masa akan datang. viii TABLE OF CONTENT CHAPTER TITLE PAGE SUPERVISOR’S DECLARATION ii STUDENT’S DECLARATION iii DEDICATION iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT v ABSTRAK vi ABSTRACT vii TABLE OF CONTENTS viii LIST OF TABLES xii LIST OF FIGURES xiii LIST OF SYMBOLS xv LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS xvi CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study 1 1.2 Problem Statement 4 1.3 Objectives 5 1.4 Scope of Study 5 1.5 Significance of Study 7 1.6 Thesis Structure 8 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW ix 2.1 Introduction 9 2.2 Study Area 11 2.2.1 General Climate of Negeri Pahang 12 2.2.1.1 Rainfall Distribution 13 2.3 Flood Event in Negeri Pahang 13 2.4 Rainfall Types 15 2.4.1 Convective Rainfall 15 2.4.2 Orographic Rainfall 16 2.4.3 Cyclonic Rainfall 17 2.5 Return Periods 19 2.6 Satellite Rainfall Data 20 2.7 Summary 20 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY 3.1 Introduction 22 3.2 Data Collecting 24 3.3 Pre-Processing 25 3.3.1 Sub-Set Coordinate into GIS Ready Data 25 3.3.2 GeoTIFF Export 26 3.3.3 Export Raster Data and Clip Data 27 3.3.4 Extract Value to Point 29 3.4 Processing 30 3.5 Summary 32 CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Introduction 33 x 4.2 Rainfall Characteristics 33 4.2.1 Rainfall Characteristics of Rompin City 34 4.2.2 Rainfall Characteristics of Pekan City 35 4.2.3 Rainfall Characteristics of Kuantan City 36 4.2.4 Rainfall Characteristics of Maran City 37 4.2.5 Rainfall Characteristics of Bera City 38 4.2.6 Rainfall Characteristics of Bentong City 39 4.2.7 Rainfall Characteristics of Temerloh 40 City 4.2.8 Rainfall Characteristics of Raub City 41 4.2.9 Rainfall Characteristics of Kuala Lipis 42 City 4.2.10 Rainfall Characteristics of Jerantut City 43 4.2.11 Rainfall Characteristics of Cameron 44 Highland City 4.3 Extreme Rainfall Events 45 4.4 Return Periods of Annual Daily Maximum 46 Rainfall 4.4.1 Return Periods of Annual Daily 47 Maximum Rainfall of Rompin 4.4.2 Return Periods of Annual Daily 48 Maximum Rainfall of Pekan 4.4.3 Return Periods of Annual Daily 49 Maximum Rainfall of Kuantan 4.4.4 Return Periods of Annual Daily 50 Maximum Rainfall of Maran 4.4.5 Return Periods of Annual Daily 51 Maximum Rainfall of Bera 4.4.6 Return Periods of Annual Daily 52 Maximum Rainfall of Bentong 4.4.7 Return Periods of Annual Daily 53 Maximum Rainfall of Temerloh 4.4.8 Return Periods of Annual Daily 54 xi Maximum Rainfall of Raub 4.4.9 Return Periods of Annual Daily 55 Maximum Rainfall of Kuala Lipis 4.4.10 Return Periods of Annual Daily 56 Maximum Rainfall of Jerantut 4.4.11 Return Periods of Annual Daily 57 Maximum Rainfall of Cameron Highland 4.5 Summary 58 CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Conclusions 59 5.2 Recommendations 60 REFERENCES 62 APPENDICES 64 xii LIST OF TABLES TABLE NO.

Consequently, the main road between the cities in Pahang were cut off. This makes it difficult to deliver aid quickly to the city that affected by the floods. In addition, rainfall during the northeast monsoon is often associated with the occurrence of floods in major cities in Pahang. For example, in 18 December 2014, the rain continued throughout the day caused flooding in several road around Kuantan district (JKR Pahang, 2015). Figure 1.1 shows flooding that occured in Sungai Lembing. In 12 January 2015, flooding in Temerloh became serious when water levels of Pahang River rise up spilling into the streets and villages nearby which caused the road access between Temerloh and Bera disconnected and also road access to Jerantut (JKR Daerah Temerloh, 2015).

  • Penjelajahan Geokimia Sedimen Sungai Dan Penentuan Kualiti Air Di Sekitar Lembangan Sungai Pahang, Pahang Darul Makmur
    GeoL. Soc. MaLaytJia, BuLLetin 44, JuLy 2000j pp. 91-100 Penjelajahan geokimia sedimen sungai dan penentuan kualiti air di sekitar Lembangan Sungai Pahang, Pahang Darul Makmur GOR SWEE HENG Jabatan Geologi Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia 43600 Bangi, Selangor Abstrak: Kawasan kajian merangkumi seluruh Lembangan Sungai Pahang yang disebarkan oleh Jaluran Emas Tengah dan Jaluran Timah Timur. Tiga aspek kajian telah dilakukan iaitu penjelajahan geokimia dengan menggunakan sedimen sungai, penentuan kualiti air sepanjang Sungai Pahang dan penentuan kualiti air tanah di sekitar Pekan. Dalam kajian penjelajahan geokimia, sebanyak 291 sampel sedimen dikutip untuk dianalisis unsur logam Sn, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cd, Cr dan Au. Sejumlah 26 zon anomali yang berpotensi permineralan telah dikenali dan sembilan antaranya merupakan zon yang sangat menarik. Tiga zon anomali yang mungkin membawa kepada penemuan longgokan bijih barn Fe-Mn dan Pb-Cu-Zn telah ditemui di bahagian selatan Temerloh, iaitu di sekitar Sungai Triang, Sungai Serting dan Sungai Bera. Sebanyak 291 sampel air sungaijuga dikutip untuk kajian penentuan kualiti air Sungai Pahang. Parameter yang dianalisis termasuk parameter fizikal, kimia dan biologi. Berdasarkan kepada pengkelasan kualiti air, didapati kebanyakan bahagian Sungai Pahang dan cabang­ cabangnya boleh dikelaskan dalam Kelas II, kecuali Sungai Luit, Sungai Jempul, Sungai Tekam, Sungai Bentong dan Sungai Chenderoh yang dikelaskan dalam Kelas III. Bagi kajian penentuan kualiti air bawah tanah pula, sebanyak 47 sampel air tanah telah dikutip dari duabelas lubang gerudi di sekitar Pekan. Parameter yang dianalisis termasuk parameter fizikal dan kimia. Empat sistem akuifer yang mempunyai ketebalan dan kandungan kimia yang berlainan telah dikes an di kawasan ini. Satu punca penerobosan air masin yang berlaku di sekitar Kuala Pahangtelah ditemui dan didapati ia mempengaruhi kualiti air di sekitar Kampung Kuala Pahang dan Kampung Bentan.

  • Permian Brachiopods from Maran Area, Pahang
    204 Permian brachiopods from Maran area, Pahang MOHD SHAFEEA LEMAN Jabatan Geologi, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Permian outcrops and fossils including both fauna and flora are very well known from various localities within the vicinity of Maran, Pahang. Among Permian fossils fauna known are fusulinid foraminiferas, corals, brachiopods, bivalves, cephalopods and bryozoans. Brachiopods are abundant in particular horizons in this area. Two Permian brachiopods localities, i.e. Jengka Pass and Sri Jaya were already well established in past literatures. The present paper will incorporate the result of recent revision of the brachiopods from these two localities as well as recording a new brachiopod locality from Timor Oil Palm mill site. At Jengka Pass, brachiopods are found in both limestone, sandstone and shale, but they are more dominant in the black shale. Several species of brachiopods have been listed in Jones et al. (1966), Ichikawa (1966) and Gobbett (1973). The brachiopods from this locality was first described by Nakamura (1973). Recent revision indicates that the fauna was dominated by a single species Liosotella jaafari new species (a species which was previously described by Nakamura (1973) as Spinomarginifera kueichowensis Huang). Other brachiopods include Costiferina sp., Juresania sp., Phricodothyris sp., Leptodus sp. and? Dialesma sp. The brachiopods are associated with some bivalves, cephalopods, bryozoans, crinoids and foraminiferas of late Middle Permian to early Upper Permian age. The Sri Jaya bed outcropped along the Maran-Kuantan road (the easternmost of the series of Bukit Jaya ridges) yields some rare brachiopods, fusulinid foraminiferas, bivalves and some plant remains. Azhar Husain (1977), Che Aziz Ali (1965) and Lee (1990) have come out with different lists of brachiopods from this locality.

Interviews with local people were also made to ascertain the true picture of the 2007 flood. Analyses of rainfall data, water level, flow discharge and river cross-sectional changes were carried out from data gathering. The development of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was made from a combination of digital topographic maps and satellite images which were purchased from Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM). This visually enhanced DEM is then used for the development of the actual extend of 2007 flood in the Study Area. Several options of flood mitigation works are proposed to reduce the impact of similar flood in the future based on the developed DEM.
