I also want to express my thanks to my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Frederik Josep Putuhena for his guidance and assistance along with the completion of this project. I want to acknowledge the staffs in the Hydrological Section of Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Kuching, Sarawak for their cooperation in providing the data required in this project. I wish to acknowledge to Darrien Mah Yau Seng for his considerable time and assistance in helping me for my study. My special thanks also dedicated to my beloved family members and friends for their motivation and moral support. Lastly, my thanks also dedicated to those who are involved either directly and indirectly in this project. III ABSTRAK Kuching Barrage telah dibina di Sungai Sarawak dan mempunyai lima pintu jejari dan untuk mengawal tahap air sungai di Sungai Sarawak dan satu pintu kapal. Semasa hujan lebat, pintu-pintu sekatan akan buka sepenuhnya untuk mengalirkan air hujan yang berlebihan bergantung kepada tahap air laut. Penyelidikan ini telah menghasilkan model-model simulasi untuk beberapa scenario banjir supaya dapat menganalisis backwater impact di Sungai Sarawak yang berpunca dari operasi Kuching Barrage. Langkah-Iangkah ketja dan pendekatan model hidrodinamik dengan menggunakan perisian Geographical Information System (GIS) and Info Works River Simulation (RS) telah diguna untuk simulasi-simulasi banjir. Scenario banjir yang dibincangkan adalah seperti keadaan banjir semasa pintu sekatan ditutup atau dibuka, aliran air sungai yang sekata, semasa ombak tinggi dan rendah, peristiwa banjir yang kecil dan besar. Peta banjir dibina untuk menilai backwater impact di Sungai Sarawak semasa peristiwa banjir berlaku. Kawasan tadahan Sungai Maong dipilih untuk menyelidik perbezaan backwater impact di Sungai Sarawak dengan mengukur panjang jalan yang dibanjiri air. Profil-profil banjir dihasilkan dengan menggunakan Info Work RS. Kesan positif dan negatif backwater impact juga telah dibincangkan. Keputusan-keputusan daripada penyelidikan ini menunjukkan bahawa operasi Kuching Barrage, tahap tinggi ombak, dan aliran air sungai mempengaruhi backwater impact di Sungai Sarawak. iv ABSTRACT Kuching Barrage has been constructed and comprises of five radial gates controlling Sarawak River water level and a ship lock. At times of heavy stonn, barrage gates will be fully opened to discharge the excess stonn water depends on sea water level. This study had generated simulations model for several flood scenarios to analyse and identify the backwater impact of Sarawak River due to Kuching Barrage operations. The methodology and hydrodynamic modeling approach using Geographical Infonnation System (GIS) and InfoWorks River Simulation (RS) softwares had been developed for flood simulations. The flood scenarios that been discussed comprising when barrage gates is closed and open, with average river flows during high tides and low tides, small flood event and extreme flood event. The flood mappings were developed to evaluate the backwater impacts in Sarawak River during flood event. Maong River catchments areas were chosen to study the differences of backwater impact of Sarawak River by measures the length of roads inundated. The flood profiles had been generated by Info Work RS. The positive and negative of backwater impacts were discussed. The results of this study had shown that the barrage operations, tide levels and river flows had influenced the backwater in Sarawak River. v LIST OF TABLES Tables Page Number 1.1 Historical Flood Events Recorded in Sarawak from 2 year 1962-1999, before the operation of barrage 1.2 Historical Flood Events Recorded in Sarawak from 3 year 2000-2007, after the operation ofbarrage 4.15 Summary ofComparison ofScenarios 59 VI LIST OF FIGURES " Figures Page Number 2.1 Location of Kuching Barrage 10 2.2 Kuching Barrage 11 2.3 Radial Gate ofKuching Barrage Cross Section 11 2.4 Marina Barrage Cross Section 13 2.5 Marina Barrage Operation 14 2.6 Thames Barrier 15 2.7 Scheme for Equation of Continuity 21 2.8 Scheme for Equation of Energy in a cross section 25 2.9 Scheme of the Equation of Energy between two sections 27 2.10 Hydraulic Scheme ofa Weir 31 2.11 Floodplain 33 2.12 Relationship of Fundamental of Flood Reduction Studies 33 3.1 Model Development by GIS 39 3.2 Calibration of2003 Flood Level at Upstream and 41 Downstream of Barrage 3.3 Calibration of February Flood at Upstream ofShiplock 42 1 vii 3.4 Calibration of February Flood at Satok Bridge 42 3.4 Calibration of February Flood at Batu Kawa Bridge 43 4.1 Flood Mapping during Barrage Gates is closed up to 47 1.9m 4.2 Flood Profile during Barrage Gates is closed 47 4.3 Flood Mapping during High Tides and Low Tides 49 for Scenario 2 4.4 Comparison of Flood Mapping of Maong River 49 Catchments Area during High Tides and Low Tides for Scenario 2 4.5 Flood Profile during High Tides for Scenario 2 50 4.6 Flood Profile during Low Tides for Scenario 2 51 4.7 Flood Mapping during High Tides and Low Tides 52 for Scenario 3 4.8 Comparison of Flood Mapping of Maong River 53 Catchments Area during High Tides and Low Tides for Scenario 3 4.9 Flood Profile during High Tides for Scenario 3 54 4.10 Flood Profile during Low Tides for Scenario 3 54 4.11 Flood Mapping during High Tides and Low Tides 56 for Scenario 4 V1l1 ,.. 4.12 Comparison of Flood Mapping of Maong River 57 Catchments Area during High Tides and Low Tides for Scenario 4 4.13 Flood Profile during High Tides for Scenario 4 58 4.14 Flood Profile during Low Tides for Scenario 4 58 I' I ix ,....

  • 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).
