3 Outlines Introduction Description of the Putrajaya Lake Objectives Materials and method Data Collection Model set up and simulation Results Summary

4 Malaysia s administrative Centre Photo: Perbadanan Putrajaya PUTRAJAYA LAKE A scenic and self-sustaining ecosystem for recreation, sports and tourism

5 PUTRAJAYA LAKE AND WETLANDS Part of Langat River Basin Langat River Catchment area 51.0 km 2 56% discharges into wetlands 44% flows directly into lake

6 THE PUTRAJAYA LAKE Surface area of 400 hectares An average depth of 6.6 m Mean hydraulic retention time of 132 days Natural filtration system Source: Perbadanan Putrajaya

7 Challenges Increasing development & land use changes Vulnerable to pollution The need to retain lake water quality at high standard Integrated catchment management Continuous environmental monitoring Development of Ecosystem model

8 Objectives To understand the ecohydrological dynamic for sustainable management of these urban water-bodies To monitor the aquatic environment response to the increasing development and land-use changes, coupled with climate variations

9 Methodology Field Data: Meteorological, flow, Bathymetry Hydrodynamic model Ecosystem model Field data: Water quality, biological Calibration and verification Analysis
