ABSTRAK Sungai Maong Kiri adalah salah satu sungai di tadahan Sungai Sarawak yang berkecenderungan mengalami masalah banjir disebabkan Sungai Maong Kiri adalah kawasan yang dipengaruhi aliran pasang surut. Analisa air balik dijalankan untuk mengkaji kapasiti Sungai Maong Kiri yang sedia ada sama ada masih mampu untuk menampung kadaralir air yang merangkumi air larian dari kawasan tadahan di hulu sungai dan kesan pasang surut di hilir sungai. Kesan air balik boleh menyebabkan limpahan di saliran Sungai Maong Kiri yang sedia ada. Analisa hidrologik menggunakan kaedah Rational dijalankan untuk mendapatkan purata kadaralir puncak dengan kala kembali yang berbeza digunakan sebagai syarat sempadan hulu semasa analisa aliran mantap. Aras tertinggi air pasang surut 6.4m dipilih sebagai syarat sempadan hilir. Data aras air pasang surut tertinggi didapati daripada Jabatan Laut Sarawak. Analisa air balik dijalankan menggunakan HEC-RAS 4.0 berkeadaan aliran mantap. Keputusan analisa hidraulik telah menunjukkan bahawa Sungai Maong Kiri yang sedia ada mampu menampung kadaralir daripada CH 0 ke CH 20000 tetapi terdapat limpahan air dari CH 25000 ke CH 30780. Untuk mengelakkan limpahan pada saliran sungai sedia ada dan memenuhi piawai freeboard saliran terbuka, penghadang limpahan air yang setinggi 0.4m dan 0.6m telah dicadangkan untuk dibina pada kedua-dua belah tebing sungai sepanjang CH 0 ke CH 30780. iv
ABSTRACT Sungai Maong Kiri is one of the rivers in Sungai Sarawak River Basin that may face flood tendency because Sungai Maong Kiri is under tidal influence. Backwater analysis is carried out to investigate whether existing channel of Sungai Maong Kiri is still able to accommodate the volume of water comprises the discharge from upstream and high tide from downstream. Backwater effect will cause overflow at Sungai Maong Kiri existing channel. Hydrologic analysis by using Rational Formula has been carried out to achieve average peak discharge. Different Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) has been used as the upstream boundary condition during the steady flow analysis. Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) 6.4m has been chosen as a downstream boundary condition. Highest Astronomical Tide data was collected from Sarawak Marine Department. Backwater analysis is carried out by using HEC-RAS 4.0 on steady flow analysis. From the result, the channel is still capable to accommodate the water from CH 0 to CH 20000 but water overflow from CH 25000 to CH 30780. To prevent overflow at existing channel and satisfy the standard freeboard size for open channel, a 0.4m and 0.6m height leeve has been proposed to build at both side of the channel along CH 0 to CH 30780. v

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research Background Flood frequently occurred in our country since few years ago. Besides the significant changes of global climate, the impact from urbanization process is the main reason that causes flood occurs at many places in our country. With the increase of impervious area, the volume of surface runoff from catchment area will also be increased. Flood will occur if the existing drainage system or channel not capable to accommodate the big volume of flow from catchment area. The flood problem is more serious especially at the downstream part of channel which having a low topographic profile. The condition becomes worse if the existing channel is under tidal influence. Flood might occur at upstream part of the channel due to the creation of backwater from tide as shown in Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2. Therefore, in this research, impacts of backwater to the river basin need to be studied in order to avoid any flood problem. Not only this, more detail and thorough investigation to the 1
existing system of the channel should be carried out in order to reduce the number of flood effectively. In hydrologic terms, backwater effects are changes in the conditions downstream such as the construction of a dam or flooding in the next waterway. In order to capture such effects, it is necessary to use the dynamic wave model, diffusive wave model or mathematical model for the river flow simulation, which allows incorporation of downstream in the forecasting. Backwater study is trying to find out what the water surface profile looks like for various discharges. Figure 1.1: Flooded area at Bau Police Station due to high tide (www.bau.com.my) 2
Figure 1.2: Flood occur due to the creation of backwater from tide at Bau Town in 1963 (www.bau.com.my) 1.2 Problem Statement Sungai Maong is one of the small tributaries of Sungai Sarawak which is located in the Kuching City. Sungai Maong can be divided into two, which are Sungai Maong Kanan and Sungai Maong Kiri. Length of main Sungai Maong before it separate into Sungai Maong Kiri and Sungai Maong Kanan is about 1.5 km. This project will focused on Sungai Maong Kiri area due to the development and urbanization process. 3
Sungai Maong Kiri begins at near the center of the Kuching City. It then traverses the Central Park at the 3 rd Miles, Kuching. Sungai Maong Kiri area also includes the Batu Lintang residential area and Taman Bergawut. All of these places are consist of residential area, commercial area and some open area. The discharges and runoff from the residential area and commercial area would flow through the trunk drain which is in the rectangular shape and 6 meter wide. The discharges and runoff would then flow into Sungai Maong Kiri. At the downstream part of Sungai Maong Kiri, it traverses some residential areas; include Taman Wee and Wee, Taman Sky and Stapok. Along Sungai Maong Kiri, there is no industrial area. It has small jungle area at the downstream part. This project analysis is to investigate the existing of backwater at the Sungai Maong Kiri channel. When the flows of the channel come across the tide from downstream and collide with peak discharge, backwater will be created. Most probably effect of backwater such as flood will be occurring because the channel cannot accommodate the volume of backwater due to the high tide. Therefore, hydrologic and hydraulic analyses have been carried out in order to determine effect and extent of backwater at Sungai Maong Kiri. The worst scenario if there is a high capacity of runoff from the upstream catchments coincided with highest astronomical tide continuously will occur backwater effect such as flooding. Figure 1.3 shows a Sungai Maong catchment area which is about 40 km 2. (KTA, 1997) 4

1.3 Objectives Main objectives of my research are to: i) Determine whether existing Sungai Maong Kiri channel is able to accommodate excessive water that affected by backwater. ii) Find out the extent of which the Sungai Maong Kiri channels affected by backwater effect by analyzing using HEC-RAS software. iii) Proposed new system on how to prevent backwater effect such as flood for area affected. 1.4 Scope of Study Location of the study is located at Sungai Maong Kiri catchment. Scope of study mention below, which is: i) Estimate flow of surface runoff by using Rational Formula method. ii) Undergo hydraulic analysis on the existing river channel by using HEC-RAS software and supervise the overflow area. iii) Data collection that includes rainfall intensity, stream flow, channels cross section and tide level in order to evaluate the backwater profile. iv) Evaluate the causes of backwater effect and proposed new irrigation system that afford to cater overflowed water. 6
