Flooding remains a persistent and ongoing challenge in Malaysia, posing continuous difficulties and hardships; therefore, combating flood risk has become a main priority for sustainable development in this country. The application of sophisticated engineering in hard structure approaches and flood control systems are often incongruous to the public...

Channel confluence and bifurcation flows are common phenomena in a natural river. Understanding the characteristics of these dividing flows can help engineers to make decisions on flood risk reductions. In this study, a numerical model has been applied for idealised Y-shaped channels in both cross-sections of rectangular and trapezoidal. InfoWorks...

Climate change have led to extreme weather events such as higher rainfall frequency that can cause severe flooding. In Malaysia, there is an increasing trend on extreme rainfall events and short temporal rainfall, particularly during the inter-monsoon season. In order to protect private properties and public premises from flooding, Mobile Flood Wal...

Conventional urban drainage structures that store water over time are habitat for the mosquito larvae. Appropriate stormwater management practices can help in preventing the breeding of the mosquito larvae. Thus, a study was conducted to evaluate the performance of a proposed bioretention system in controlling dengue at the campus university in Sem...

Bioretention system is one of the best management practices for rainwater runoff redirecting and storing before discharge into existing stormwater system. On the other hand, road divider is designed for dividing the traffic flow for road safety. However, it may be a blockage for surface runoff on road and possibly created ponding during heavy rainf...

Big data have rapidly developed as a viable solution to many problems faced in engineering industries. Specifically, in the industry of water resource engineering, where there is a tremendous amount of data, various big data techniques could be applied to achieve innovative and efficient solutions for the industry. This study reviewed the proposal...
