JURUTERA

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS, MALAYSIA

MARCH 2020

With the growing awareness of the urgency of water conservation around the world, the various stakeholders in Malaysia are urgently working together to fix a broken water system.

Although we are blessed with abundant rainfall and plentiful sources of water, Malaysia’s water system is plagued with intermittent shutdowns, an ageing system that desperately needs to be updated, water companies which are solely profit-oriented and a public that is seemingly unaware of the serious need for water conservation.

JURUTERA speaks to Y.B. Dato' Dr Xavier Jayakumar, the former Minister of Water, Land & Natural Resources (Kementerian Air, Tanah Dan Sumber

the ground and the remaining 51% flows away as surface runoff,” he says.

“About 97% of our raw water supply come from rivers and lakes.

We have a dense network of rivers, with up to 2,986 river basins, including 189 major river basins. The agriculture industry is the largest user of water, requiring up to 68% of total water consumption for paddy irrigation, other crops, livestock and fisheries. Domestic and industry users consume 33% which can be translated into an average of 201 mililitres per person per day for nondomestic users.”

Asli or KATS), about the state of water resources in our country, the challenges in managing the system, changing the way we view water and plans for the future.

SOURCE, CONSUMPTION & SUPPLY Dato’ Dr Xavier says that in terms of water supply, Malaysia is considered a developed country as 90% of the population have access to clean drinking water.

The remaining 10% live in extremely remote areas, so it is difficult to ensure they get a proper supply of water.

“Malaysia gets an average rainfall of 2,940 milimetres per year (three times the global average) which contributes to an estimated 970 billion cubic metres of annual water resource. About 43% of that returns to the atmosphere through evaporation, 6% percolates into

ERRATIC RAINFALL, CLIMATE CHANGE & DEVELOPMENT Rainfall is seasonal and rain does not fall evenly throughout the country, the result of typical rainfall characteristics as well as other climatic and physical factors which govern rainfall pattern.

Sarawak and Terengganu receive more than 3,300 millimetres of rain annually while Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Perlis get only about 1,800 millimetres. Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor receive 55% of their rainfall during the northeast monsoon (November to March) and 41% during the southwest monsoon.

The west coast states in the peninsula get about a third each during the two monsoon periods and during the inter-monsoon months.

High population density as well as extensive agricultural activities in several states have resulted in water demands exceeding the carrying capacity. Climate change is another big threat as dry areas

MARCH 2020

are becoming drier and the wet places are becoming wetter.

While there are many factors involved, the fact remains that, on the whole, Malaysia has a healthy water supply, with sufficient volume of water resources for the foreseeable future. So it is quite clear then that water related problems are the result of poor water resources management and not any other reason.

“Because of the abundant rainfall, we have been able to effectively manage our water resources and to convert a large volume of that into drinking water,” says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

“However, with climate change and seasonal droughts becoming longer and more severe, some states are suffering from a short supply of raw water. What we have now is a system that has neglected to ensure at least a 50-year supply of water.

The planning has been haphazard and the response to water shortage ad hoc, like fire-fighting. Therefore, it is crucial that we pay attention to these issues and fix them as fast as possible.”

WATER MANAGEMENT & MISMANAGEMENT Dato’ Dr Xavier is well aware of the challenges he faces when attempting to manage and update a very old system and to correct years of mismanagement.

“Pipes are very old and eroded.

So when you turn on the tap in your home, the water will appear brown and look dirty. We have identified the problem and are in the process of gradually changing these pipes,” he says.“However, the most pressing issue

“

For the system to be efficient, each state needs to have a certain percentage of reserve margin which can be anywhere from 8% to 12%. Sadly, our reserve is currently less than 2%, which is critical because consequently there are shutdowns and thousands of households have to go without water.

“

in most states is the lack of reserve water. For the system to be efficient, each state needs to have a certain percentage of reserve margin of between 8% and 12%. If a system has been planned and managed well, you can have even more than 15% of reserve water.

“Sadly, our reserve is currently less than 2%, which is critical because consequently, there are shutdowns and thousands of households have to go without water. But with a reserve of at least 13%, the majority of the households can have water supply for 48-72 hours in the event of a shutdown. So you can see how dire the situation is. We are trying to fix this but it is a long process, one of which involves a 50-year plan.” A huge part of the erratic water supply is the poor management of the multiple water systems in the country. “ T h e F e d e ra l G ove r n m e n t contributes billions of ringgit to upgrade water infrastructure all over the country. State Governments don’t spend that much money, as their funds come from tariff collections and is usually only enough to cover the management. Many states owe the Federal Government a great deal of money as all the funds they receive

JURUTERA

are actually loans. Now we have to work to resolve that,” says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

“We don’t really have a water shortage problem. We have inherited a very good system from the British but, over the years, we have neglected to upgrade the system. Therefore we have put into place a five-year plan to upgrade the system. We are also looking at rainfall patterns and advising states on how they can run their water services more effectively.

We are still giving them loans and paying for all expenses incurred during emergencies.”

Under the Federal Constitution, matters pertaining to water, rivers, land and forest come under the jurisdiction of the State Governments which are also responsible for management of water resources, including gazetting water catchment areas and controlling development in the states.

The Federal Government is tasked with promoting uniformity in legislations, providing technical advice, setting up hydrological and other monitoring stations, collecting hydrological data as well as conducting surveys and relevant studies.

“The Federal Government and its agencies are in charge of planning and funding programmes to ensure water security in the states is firm.

But every state manages its water differently and has a different water company. Tariffs also differ according to usage, population and demand.

Therefore the amount of water that is used and the amount of water that has to be treated differs from state to state,” explains Dato’ Dr Xavier.

“The lack of water reserves is due solely to the water management of individual states not having done enough to ensure a sufficient supply.

Management has been inward looking and focuses only on profits from the water companies while neglecting everything else. Penang is the only state with a proper water management system. All the other states don’t have enough funding to manage water systems the way they should be managed and the way we expect them to.”

PROBLEM OF NON-REVENUE WATER Non-revenue water (NRW) is one of the more persistent problems in local water systems. NRW is water that is pumped or produced but subsequently lost or otherwise unaccounted for in the system before it reaches the consumer.

Losses can be real or apparent.

High levels of NRW are detrimental to the financial viability of water utilities, as well to the water quality itself. Costs incurred as a result of faulty metering, evaporation, theft, poor data gathering and leakage are passed on to the consumer.

Dato’ Dr Xavier is very concerned about the high level of NRW. “Nonrevenue water levels are very high, with the national average at 35%.

Kedah reports 48%, Pahang is 44%45%, Perlis is 67% and Selangor is 33%.

NRW is a huge problem for us; you can even call it a disease. For example, Kedah’s daily output is 1,480 million litres per day but 48% of that is NRW which means that almost half of the water produced is being wasted. Not enough capital is being pumped into the system to ensure it runs smoothly.

We have to change that,” he says.

Malaysia has formulated Water Demand Management (WDM) to ensure that water is used more efficiently and sustainably. It has identified nine strategies and 23 action plans to be implemented. It focuses on reduction of NRW, application of water saving equipment, alternative water resources and water audit for big water consumers. Among the targets set are

COVER STORY

AILING RIVERS Malaysia has 50 ailing rivers. Records from the Department of Environment shows that many rivers are in a state of deterioration. This is alarming.

“Rehabilitation and restoration of river conditions must begin with the setting of a water quality standard to be achieved in each river. By having such a target, we will be able to harmonise the needs of continuous physical development without jeopardising the health of the environment,” says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

In the international arena, Malaysia has expressed its commitment to the field of sustainable development at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015 which contains 17 goals.

Sustainable Development Goal No. 6 is specifically related to water.

FIXING THE BROKEN SYSTEM Dato’ Dr Xavier says water companies need to recognise that they have a serious problem and that their systems are ineffective. “The ministry is drafting plans to make sure water companies realise they need to shift away from being just profit-oriented.

Industry players will have their profits

capped and systems regulated. Water tariffs can then be maintained and, while they will still have a comfortable margin, the extras will be put back into the industry. When the industry is upgraded, the profit margin will also increase over a period of 20-25 years,” he says.

“Water companies must cut the red tape and work with the Federal Government as we are willing to help them financially. They need to ensure that revenue collected is adequate sustainment and that there is still extra to spend on upgrading the infrastructure to overcome the problems inherited from the previous administration.”

“

Malaysians need to and must save water. We all want our taps to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In order for that to be possible, we must all understand the value of water as a utility.

“

a per capita water consumption of 180 litres per day, NRW reduction to 31% and mandatory applications of water saving equipment.

Dato’ Dr Xavier says the Ministry aims to reduce NRW from the current 35.3% to 31% by the end of the 11th Malaysia Plan this year.

“Among the initiatives being implemented is the National NRW Reduction Programme 2018/2020 with an allocation of RM1.39 billion.

One main plan is a massive pipe replacement programme involving all water operators in the country. It is imperative to rethink approaches to solutions, how to implement, maintain and continuously improve performance and efficiency. One way is through a collaborative effort in devising new training approaches that practitioners focus on realistic targets,” he says.

WATER CONSERVATION Dato’ Dr Xavier says that Malaysians, in particular the youth, waste an incredible amount of water. “We should be using 170-180 millilitres daily but each individual uses 220-230 millilitres. If every Malaysian reduces his/her water usage, we will be saving a great deal of water which can be channelled for other purposes,” he says.

Generally, the public is ignorant of the value of water as the cost of treatment and delivering potable water is largely subsidised by the Government. Consumer behaviour, perception and low awareness with regards to the value of water is reflected in the trend and pattern of usage.

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS, MALAYSIA

MARCH 2020

“Malaysians need to and must save water. You can cope without electricity for a few days, but you cannot do without water supply for a few days. We all want water to be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In order for that to be possible, we all need to understand the value of water as a utility,” says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

“The relatively low water tariffs also contribute to water wastage.

In addition, the free water policy in some states has not helped reduce water consumption. The Ministry and SPAN (National Water Service Commission) plans to introduce a tariff setting mechanism which will take into account the basic water requirement for humans at the range of 20 metres cubed in line with basic human principles. To support the target to reduce water consumption to 180 litres per capita per day by 2020, penalties will be imposed on those who waste water.”

UNREVISED WATER TARIFFS Dato’ Dr Xavier believes that the water industry must have an in-built self-governing mechanism and that it must have enough finances to upkeep and ensure that the system is always in good working order.

“All these, of course, require an injection of funds. So we looked at water tariffs which had not been assessed for more than 20 years.

We have come up with a new tariff mechanism which does not involve the states increasing their debts but instead, involves the private sector.

We are increasing water rates, but it will be less than 2% of the average household income.

“Water rates will have different bands: Bands 1, 2, 3, Industrial Use and Agricultural Use. Consumers will be charged according to usage.

This will have a direct effect on how water companies are run. When water companies are healthy, NRW will be reduced and water supply will be smoother. But if money is not spent within the industry to make necessary improvements, then the same

COVER STORY problems – water shortage, water cuts, burst pipes – will recur. We believe that this will be a holistic approach to dealing with the issue.”

EXPLORING ALTERNATE SOURCES OF WATER Malaysia is also looking at alternate sources of fresh water supply. As stated earlier, about 97% of our raw water supply comes from rivers and lakes.

Storage infrastructure and withdrawal facilities are mostly located upstream and, mainly due the physical terrain and to avoid saltwater intrusion issues, it is estimated that up to 85% of the surface runoff travels to the sea.

Malaysia has been concentrating on surface water all these years, but there is a huge supply of underground water that has not been tapped.

Dato’ Dr Xavier feels that a proper overhaul of the system and the creation of a larger volume of reserve water will involve looking at alternate sources of water supply. “We are looking at all possibilities, from rainwater harvesting and storm water storage to off-river storage and coastal reservoirs. All these can be planned but we must have the resources to do so and we must also have enough water to be run off into the rivers as storage before we can figure out how to convert it into drinking water, water for industrial use and water for agricultural use,” he says.

“Every state has its own water reserves, dams built to store water.

But that water is hardly ever used as it is purely for emergencies. Dams are collection centres. Malaysia’s frequent and heavy rainfall runs off into rivers, which is the supply we predominantly use. When there is a drought and the water level in rivers decreases, we release water from the dams to fill up the rivers. We also do cross boundary water transfer from Pahang to Selangor as Selangor does not have enough raw water. For Johor, we transport water from the north to the south. Penang too does not have enough water, so we take water from Perak.”

He sees subterranean water as

an untapped resource. “We plan to have a hybrid system for states such as Kedah and Johor which involves tapping into underground water to ensure supply meets the increasing demand. For these states, 20% of the water will be from underground and the rest will be surface water,” he says. For guidance, Malaysia is looking at countries already working with underground water. “We have the technology to find underground water but technology is changing all the time though our engineers are always keeping up to date. We have 4D technologies from Japan to help with the mapping of subterranean rivers. In some cases, the rivers only release the water when they reach the sea. We need to study this carefully, as there must be recharge equal to what we take out, to ensure there is always water and that the land does not sink,” he says.

“This is in the immediate future and agencies involved have been given the go-ahead to flesh this out to be included in the 12th Malaysia Plan. We’re looking at Japan, Denmark and Korea as examples of countries that are purely non-profit and are managing their water exceedingly efficiently.

“Almost 95% of water in Denmark comes from underground sources and the Yamamoto district of Japan has been using underground water for a few centuries without encountering any sinking. We will look at these countries and then figure out what will work best for us.”

REALIGNING WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT As we approach the end of the 11th Malaysia Plan, Dato’ Dr Xavier feels there is much that we have yet to achieve. “Our rivers, as the main source of raw water, are constantly at risk of being polluted, no thanks to the lack of public awareness, lack of enforcement to punish non-point source polluters and unconnected private wastewater plants,” he says.

“Learning from these experiences, I believe there is a need to transform

our water industry under the 12th Malaysia Plan, centred on the key principles of Shared Prosperity Vision by 2030. We are also working closely with the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MEA) to develop a new strategic direction for the water sector.”

The doctrine of a new strategy for water sector is based on the recognition of water as a wealth creation sector. The water sector must be managed to achieve an inclusive and sustainable provision of a safe and affordable water supply and sanitation systems. This move, it is hoped, will place Malaysia as a tropical Asian frontier in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).

Integrated Water Resources Management and Integrated River Basin Management are the ways forward in managing water, in which many countries have shown great achievements in their management.

Water resources governance been managed by several agencies, often resulting in overlapping and overlooking functions with grey areas of responsibilities. IWRM, handled individually and disparately by 13 states and three Federal Territories, has also created many issues. At the very least, there must be Federal support, capacity building and financing to ensure that the finite and limited water resources are managed for the benefit of the nation. States which have pioneered better governance of their water resources could have achieved better success if there was focus and sustained Federal support for their programmes.

COVER STORY PROTECTING WATER RESOURCES To protect water resources, the introduction and application of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for each river basin is obligatory. TMDL is the calculation of the maximum amount of pollutants allowed to enter a water body so as to ensure it will meet and continue to meet water quality standards for that particular pollutant. TMDL determines a pollutant reduction target and allocates load reductions necessary to the source(s) of the pollutant.

“TMDL is new in Malaysia but it has been the practice in most developed countries such as the United States of America in the management of their water bodies,” says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

“In the Malaysian context, the Federal Government can work closely with the state governments to develop TMDL and translate it into local plans by the State authorities. With the application of TMDL, coupled with holistic land use plans and efficient enforcement, it is not impossible to restore our river conditions. TMDL is something that we are looking at in the 12th Malaysia Plan.

“Instilling a sense of river ownership among the public is the master key to sustain the policies, facilities and infrastructures provided by the Government. Through DID, KATS has embarked on many campaigns to promote the stewardship of rivers.

This effort goes back to the early

“

All parties involved must understand that this is a nonprofit industry and that all costs must be kept at a minimum. The days of making excessive profits out of water have ended.

years of Kempen Cintailah Sungai Kita (Love Our Rivers Campaign). I am happy to see that the sense of river ownership amongst the public is growing. I applaud the determination of non-governmental organisations, corporate companies and individuals such as Friends of Rivers, which are actively involved in community-based programmes to rehabilitate and preserve the river ecosystem."

EYES ON DAMS In 2018, there were two occasions of prolonged torrential rain in Laos and Myanmar which resulted in dam breaks, leading to catastrophic losses and destruction. This is a reminder for us here in Malaysia to make dam safety a top-most priority, says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

At present, there are 104 dams in the country, consisting of 16 irrigation and drainage dams under the supervision of DID, 7 agricultural dams, two recreational dams, 16 hydropower dams, 61 water supply dams and one private dam. Over 60% of these dams are categorised as large dams, based on the International Commission on Large Dam classification and most of these dams were constructed in the 1960s.

Currently, there is no specific legislation that addresses dam issues in Malaysia. There are only administrative guidelines with regards to dams. So there is an urgent need to establish a law in relation to dam safety and security as a measure to manage the risk of dam failures.The 12th National Water Resources Council Meeting (MSAN) has approved the Malaysia Dams Safety Management Guidelines (MyDAMS) for use as a systematic guideline on dam safety management, in conjunction with the international dam safety guidelines.

“With MyDAMS as the base, KATS has initiated a new Dam Safety Act or Rang Undang-Undang Keselamatan Empangan (RUU KE) to govern the management of all dams for the protection of human life and the environment. This Dam Safety Act will be tabled soon, followed by

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS, MALAYSIA

MARCH 2020

a series of consultation sessions with state Governments, including townhall sessions with the public, academicians, non-governmental organisations and opinion leaders.

The enactment of the Dam Safety Act will enhance the operation of the Dam Safety Team, established under the Water Works Department, to carry out safety monitoring on and inspection of high risk dams,” says Dato’ Dr Xavier.

In 2017, KATS (then NRE) established the Dam Safety Flying Squad to carry out dam safety auditing. The squad looks into measures taken by owners to ensure that the dams are safe, free from trespassers and free from pollution.

The enactment of the Dam Safety Act will further enhance the operation of the Dam Safety Flying Squad in carrying surveillance on dams.

MOVING FORWARD Dato’ Dr Xavier wants engineers and planners to keep up with the latest technologies.“They need to advise the Federal and state water departments on the right technologies to use and to ensure that measures are cost effective. The input of water engineers will be crucial to our development. They are integral to understanding water needs while balancing the needs of other sectors and to projecting future demands to enable sustainable development. City planners too must always prioritise water in any development,” he says.

Dato’ Dr Xavier is committed to changing the way the water industry is managed and operated. “All parties involved must understand that this is a non-profit industry and that all costs must be kept at a minimum. The days of making excessive profits out of water have ended,” he adds.

He wants Malaysians to know that he and his team are committed to ensuring the public gets what it needs – clean, potable water. “Let me assure you that water that leaves the treatment plants is of world class standard and can be drunk directly.

Water is a human right and that is where we stand,” he stresses.

5 YEARS AFTER SEVERE FLOOD IN 2014: A BETTER FLOOD FORECASTING SYSTEM

by Y.Bhg. Dato’ Ir. Hj. Mohd. Azmi bin Ismail

Ir. Sazali Osman

Abdul Hafiz Mohamad

F

looding is a natural way to discharge occasional large rainfall in the river eco system. However, with rapid urbanisation, natural floodplains have been sacrificed for socio-economic activities; we now realise that we need protection against inundation.

In Malaysia, flooding is the most severe natural disaster and it affects 18% of the country annually. There have been records of major floods: 1926 (whole country), 1963 (Sarawak), 1967 (Kelantan), 1970 (Kuala Lumpur), 1971 (whole country), 1976, 1996 (Sabah), 1998 (Penang), 2000 (Shah Alam), 2001 (Kuantan), 2003 (Kuala Lumpur/ Sarawak), 2004 (Kelantan), 2005 (Kedah/Perlis), 2006/2007 (Johor/Melaka), 2007 (Kuala Lumpur), 2007/2008 (Pahang), 2013 (Cameron Highlands, Kuantan, Kemaman) and 2014 (Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang).

Meanwhile, with urbanisation and an increasing population, flash floods occur more frequently now, especially in city areas. For example, the population in the Klang Valley (less than 500,000 in the 1970s) is more than 3 million today and, to accommodate the need for housing, public facilities, utilities, businesses, recreational parks and others, new land areas have been opened up. The change from natural land surface to hard surface reduces the ability of rainwater to infiltrate the soil. The rainwater turns to surface runoff in a shorter time and so, more areas will be flooded at the downstream lower ground level.

After the catastrophic flood of 1971, the government set up The Permanent Flood Control Commission to look into long-term solutions to mitigate flooding. The National Disaster Relief Committee was also tasked with reducing losses in the event of impending flooding.

One of its roles was to establish rainfall and water level stations to measure and deliver the information as quickly as possible to obtain flood forecasts. The flood forecast model was introduced as a function to predict river water level at any particular location. The forecast lead time depended on the time lag of surface runoff

from upstream at higher levels flowing to inundation areas at lower level and finally to dissipate into the sea.

With the latest technologies in rainfall forecast and higher accuracies of surface topographic data, the flood forecasting model has made significant advances by using sophisticated and peopleoriented models to achieve better and more accurate flood forecasts.

FEATURE and Pahang and over 500,000 people were evacuated with 25 casualties and RM2.85 billion in losses (not including intangible losses). Victims also voiced out their dissatisfaction over the following: 1. Delay in early flood warning, especially for upstream areas such as Kuala Krai and Kuala Tahan, particularly during the second wave of flooding 2. Delay in evacuation response for rescue and location of flood victims at evacuation centres 3. Shortage of flood relief assistance such as clothing, food, medicine etc at evacuation centres.

In response, the government took the initiative to strengthen the institutional framework by establishing the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA).

Previously, NADMA was managed by a section under the National Security Council where the scope of work was limited to coordination and supervision of agencies related to natural disasters. With NADMA, coordination between agencies improved significantly, providing for more comprehensive flood assistance and response.

To improve flood early warning, the government, through the Department of Irrigation & Drainage (DID) and the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD), implemented a new flood forecasting project, the National Flood Forecasting & Warning Programme (Program Ramalan & Amaran Banjir Negara or PRAB).

The idea of PRAB was mooted as the existing flood forecasting and warning system had limitations in terms of forecast location, lead time and flood warning coverage.

CURRENT FLOOD FORECAST SYSTEM The flood forecasting system began in 1971, with the first telemetric water level station established at the Sulaiman Bridge on the Klang River. The number of rainfall and water level telemetric stations has increased tremendously since, from less than 20 locations to 800 stations currently. Insitu flood siren warning systems have been established in areas affected by frequent flooding, mainly to provide early alerts of rising flood water.

Flood modelling is defined as “the process of imitating a real phenomenon or a process with a set of mathematical formulae�. The purpose is to provide as much advance notice as possible of an impending flood to the authorities and the public, which is to deliver reliable and timely information with enough lead time to allow people to take measures to protect themselves and to take appropriate actions.

In Malaysia, the first mathematical model, called Sacramento Model (1973), was used to estimate water level at Sungai Pahang. Since 1981, the Sugawara Tank Model was used at the Kelantan River, with very reliable forecasts. The series of the usage flood forecast models is shown in Figure 1 (refer to next page).

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF PRAB PRAB refers to Program Ramalan & Amaran Banjir (in Malay) or National Flood Forecasting & Warning Programme (in English). Its three keywords represent: • Forecasting which means how the system is able to calculate or estimate future conditions in particular water level forecast • Warning which means dissemination tools or information to alert people so that early action can be taken • National means the importance of the PRAB programme as a national agenda which will benefit many people.

PRAB has two main objectives: 1. To develop a system which can forecast monsoon floods 7 days in advance, based on weather forecast data from the Malaysia Meteorological Department 2. To increase the capacity of the existing system for warning and dissemination of information about monsoon floods from 6 hours to 2 days earlier for the benefit of related agencies and population affected by the flood.

To achieve its objectives, there are 4 components to be implemented in an integrated manner using the latest technology (see Figure 2). These are: 1. Hydrological Data Detection System 2. Database and ICT Infrastructure System 3. Flood Modelling and Forecasting System 4. Flood Warning and Dissemination System.

FEATURE deliver accurate measurements and is powered by a solar panel at 15 minutes interval data transfer.

The Forecast Data Centre (FDC), a database and ICT system, was developed based on high performance and system redundancy platform. Currently, Terabyte Server and Virtualisation are used to store big sets of data from the DID telemetry system, geo-informatics data, weather forecast data and model simulation output. Centralising all data in one location in an integrated manner will improve the performance and time consumed for each component to complete the processing. FDC system also has a data cleaning system which will improve the quality of real-time hydrological data that could occur due to circumstances or conditions including sensor damage, communication breakdown and lack of power supply.

The FDC system links rainfall forecast data and hydrological measurement data to the National Flood Forecast & Warning System (NaFFWS), a modelling system that is able to process complex mathematical calculations consisting of hydrological, hydrodynamics and 2D mapping for flood hazard areas. NaFFWS will be developed for 41 river basins or almost 70% of flood prone areas. The flood modelling system will generate more than 20,000 points of interest, including the location of villages, towns, evacuation centres, mosques, main roads, government buildings, etc.

Public Infobanjir is a primary website medium for displaying and disseminating flood information to the public in real time. The website, developed in 2000, is being continuously improved to meet the needs of current expectations and to suit the latest technology. In principle, it displays more than 800 rainfall stations and water level data from hydrological stations in remote and urban areas.

It can provide early warning for different levels of rainfall and water level conditions, based on the threshold.

PRAB will be improving its website capability through two new elements. The first is to develop a more informative and public user base interface. Simple web display and accurate information for rainfall and water level data are carefully developed.

The second element is to include an early flood warning bulletin containing a 7-day flood forecast to agencies and a 2-day flood forecast to the public. This information will be displayed in interactive ways, combining location maps of stations and locations of forecast flooding. Other than the Public Infobanjir website, other tools for disseminating flood forecast information include Facebook,Twitter, mobile apps, email, WhatApps and control flood sirens.

IMPLEMENTATION The PRAB programme, divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2, will be implemented over 10 years, from 2015 to 2025. Phase 1 has been implemented for 3 major river basins: Sungai Kelantan, Sungai Terengganu and Sungai Pahang.

Phase 2, started in 2018, is expected to be completed by 2025. It will involve flood forecasting models and setting up new hydrological monitoring stations in 38 river basins in the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak.

FEATURE TRANSFORMATION AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY The PRAB programme has targeted to adopt and transform the flood forecast and warning system to be more advanced and to provide significant impact to the public. There are four elements in the transformation plan: 1. Early flood forecast duration. The system will improve the advance flood forecast from 1 day to 7 days. The use of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data from Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) Model data will provide a 7-day rainfall forecast as input parameters to the flood model.

2. Early flood warning duration. The system will improve the advance flood warning from 6 hours to 2 days. The WRF model data will provide a 2-day rainfall forecast and the flood model will simulate 2 days in advance the flooding area. The accuracy of forecast simulation will be improved through continuous checking with observed rainfall and water level data.

3. Enhanced flood warning database system. The database system is a key component of PRAB as all components will integrate with the Forecast Data Centre Servers System as the central database system. The FDC will operate 24/7 to house data from more than 2,000 hydrological stations, data from multiple agencies, NWP and radar data, flood modelling output, real-time CCTV and dissemination modules such as intelligent siren and public portals.

4. Wider coverage for flood warning dissemination.

Problems with communication coverage will limit the dissemination of warning to people in remote areas.

The existing system, which can only forecast results at dedicated water level stations, will be improved to simulate the forecast level along the river and floodprone areas using the 2D analysis method.

ISSUES AND CHALLENGES PRAB began in an ad-hoc manner, in reaction to the severe flooding in 2014. The implementation of an advanced modelling system is crucial and requires a high commitment from the client, consultant, contractor and all related agencies. There are some issues and challenges.

1. One of the challenges is to have locally-made products using local material and innovation by local experts.

Almost 50% of hydrological instrumentation, such as hydrological sensors, are imported. The difficulty in promoting and marketing the product to the restricted number of local customers, limits the efforts of local manufacturers.

2. PRAB has been using a flood forecast model developed in the United Kingdom. Allocating a certain amount of financial resources for licensing and technical supports will incur significant accumulated losses in the long run. However, it is also very challenging to develop our own flood model as, according to the existing model developer, this requires a lot of expertise and a very long

MARCH 2020

period of development (20-40 years).

3. Flash floods occur almost every month and happen over very short periods of time (1-6 hours). The impacted areas are also relatively small. However, the situation can be detrimental when it occurs in urban areas such as Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Therefore, an early warning system for flash floods is required and for this, the state of the art technology using radar and satellite can be explored.

4. There is a need to monitor how flood alert messages are disseminated to the targeted people as well as the public’s ability to understand, react and share such alerts. The current delivery system needs to be improved to represent a proper stakeholder engagement which will help to better understand the situation and to deliver a more dedicated type of information.

THE WAY FORWARD The implementation of PRAB is in line with the United Nation’s Vision 2030 for the world, under Agenda 2030 of the Sustainable Development Goals No. 3 and No. 11, which is to promote good health and well-being for the peoples and sustainable cities and communities.

PRAB will continue to be developed under the 12th Malaysia Plan, focusing on 38 river basins. It will be an important tool to reduce vulnerabilities and flooding. It will contribute to national sustainable development and is an important ingredient for the future development strategy where Malaysians need to embrace the concept of “Living With Flood”.

Preparedness and the response action of the National Disaster Management authorities are highly dependent on the availability of accurate and timely flood forecasting and timely dissemination to authorities responsible for civil protection and the general public.

Towards the new National Vision 2030: Shared Prosperity, four new fields will be explored and strategised: Re-Engineering, Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning, Impact Based Forecast and Flash Flood Forecast for rivers and urban areas.

In order to pursue these, service partnership and close cooperation with universities, research agencies and international bodies will be widened and strengthened.

Innovative and creative solutions, with practical strategies, are important to bring Malaysia to the status of a developed country.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, A CAREER PATH WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE

by Ir. Shamila Ariaratnam

n 14 December 2019, 30 participants from various engineering disciplines attended a talk titled Biomedical Engineering, a Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) career path with a bright future.

Held at Auditorium Tan Sri Chin Fung Kee, Wisma IEM, the talk was conducted by Ir. Amirah Abdul Rahman from the Ministry of Health Malaysia.

STEM is used when addressing education policies and curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology development. The government has been encouraging STEM even in primary schools as it has implications on workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policies. Starting this year, the Ministry of Education has introduced STEM packages for Form Four students to choose from.

Biomedical Engineering is one of the fields of study that starts with STEM. It is the application of engineering

principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes. The role of biomedical engineers is wide, especially with emerging fields such as artificial intelligence (bioinformatics), robotics, nanotechnology (biomedical sensors), medical devices, biomechanics, tissue engineering, medical imaging and prosthetics and orthotics.

According to an Espicom, Association of Malaysian Medical Industries (AMMI) analysis, the global medical device market has seen a 7.5% compound annual growth rate from 2013 to 2018, with a total export value of RM11.317 billion (2017) for the medical device market in Malaysia. On the other hand, the import value for the same year was RM6.268 billion.

Biomedical engineers can work in research and development activities focusing on next generation products, innovation of new products and strategic planning, identification and recognising areas of medicine with significant problems in need of technological solutions or entrepreneurship. Moreover, the healthcare facility landscape is also evolving from general hospitals to specialised primary, secondary and tertiary care centres.

Therefore, the role of biomedical engineers varies with the demographic of patients seen in different facilities. Additionally, if they are to join medical technology providers, their function will need to follow the equipment cycle that they are in, either sales, installation, testing and commissioning, repairs, periodical maintenance, application or after sales support.

UNDERGROUND TUNNELLING IN THE KLANG VALLEY AND THE PURSUIT OF AN AUTONOMOUS TUNNEL BORING MACHINE

by Dr Boon Chia Weng

he Tunnelling & Underground Space Technical Division (TUSTD) organised a technical talk on Underground Tunnelling in the Klang Valley and The Pursuit of an Autonomous Tunnel Boring Machine at the Malakoff Auditorium, Wisma IEM on 19 December 2019. A total of 60 participants attended.

Ir. Nanthakumar, the Technical Director of AECOM, presented the general scope of design works on the KVMRT Project, i.e. Sungai-Buloh Serdang Putrajaya (SSP) Line Underground Works Package, which consisted of 13.5 kms of underground tunnels and the construction of 10 new underground stations.

The alignment intersected with the 1st MRT line, i.e. the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) Line at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) Station.The design management structure consisted of a lead design consultant and several detailed design

consultants as well as a design-and-technical team from the main contractor.

According to Ir. Nanthakumar, there were many design aspects to consider in the underground works package project, such as safety, constructability, durability, maintainability, environmental, aesthetics, line identity, station planning and architecture, some of which include interfacing with transit-oriented developments.

He talked about the different geologies with regards to the construction method adopted for each station, as well as their respective tunnel interfacing sequences, such as launching, retrieval and pull-through or bore-through.

He also highlighted the various risks associated with tunnelling before ending his part of the talk.

FORUM in the research and development of the autonomous TBM, talked about the challenges of underground tunnelling in karstic limestone and the development of the Variable Density Machine which was used in the 1st MRT Line.

The density of the slurry could be increased to prevent blowout at the same applied face pressure. The viscous slurry would fill up cavities and solution channels, thereby minimising losses. The number of sinkholes was drastically reduced as compared with the Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel (SMART) project which was completed in 2007. Furthermore, the Variable Density Machine had afforded flexibility to the tunnelling programme, allowing TBMs to mine across various geologies in Kuala Lumpur by changing to either earthpressure-balance or slurry mode. This success spurred the team to innovate further.

According to Mr. Justin Chin, the autonomous TBM was developed during the 2nd MRT Line to minimise reliance on TBM operators who would otherwise need to monitor a data screen for extended hours. The autosteering function was tested on two pilot drives of 1.9 km long each in karstic limestone. He also showcased the intelligent adaptive control capability in the autonomous TBM which was particularly useful for traversing varying geologies to optimise advance speed and minimise wear-and-tear of cutter discs. The success was then replicated on other drives and to date, had mined 5 km length of tunnels.

The team’s efforts and results were duly acknowledged and it won two coveted international awards for MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (T) Sdn. Bhd., namely the International Tunnelling Association (ITA) Technical Product/Equipment Innovation of the Year Award 2019 and the New Civil Engineer (NCE) Innovation in Tunnel Excavation Award 2019.

Mr. John Lim, the lead developer for the autonomous TBM and research engineer with MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (T), shared his experience working as a tunnel engineer. He talked about how he made use of his programming skills to automate routine tasks in his daily job, while attending to numerous responsibilities as site engineer. Both his job exposure and his past knowledge on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms were recognised by the organisation and he was later tasked to work with a team on the autonomous TBM project.

The project also benefitted from the contribution of two other colleagues, an electrical manager experienced in TBM control and a senior electrical engineer, Mr. Liew Kit Shen, who was skilled in PLC programming.

Mr. John Lim further briefed the audience on the various types of AI algorithms, as well as the background of both data communication and control for the TBM. He shared useful tips on how to get started in programming and suggested a few programming languages to be used, depending on the purpose and landscape of development. He also showed an example of a program with intelligent functions which he developed for the autonomous TBM. Lastly, he presented ongoing innovation efforts to further improve on tunnelling operations before ending the talk.

by Ir. Chong Chee Meng

he Civil & Structural Engineering Technical Division (CSETD) organised an evening talk titled Hat-type Steel Sheet Pile Technology For Improvement Of Construction Productivity in Malaysia. The speaker was Dr Kazutaka Otsushi, a senior manager with Nippon Steel Southeast Asia Pte. Ltd. and the talk was held on 14 November 2019 at Malakoff Auditorium, Wisma IEM. Dr Kazutaka is in charge of research and development, market development in ASEAN and technical support of steel sheet pile technology, design and construction in Singapore. He divided his talk into 5 sections: 1. Concept of reduction factor for ERSS design in MS EN code 2. Introduction of hat-type steel sheet pile 3. Actual scale field test in ASEAN to verify the validity of reduction factor 4. Hat-type sheet pile as development technology and track records of hat-type sheet pile.

In section 1, he talked about the reduction factors required by the Eurocode 3 for ‘U’ type sheet pile due to interlock slippage. Hat-type sheet pile doesn’t require any reduction factors.

Section 2 was about the advantages of hat-type sheet pile and the installation method. The advantages are reduction of number of sheet pile, shortening of construction period, reduction in the number of interlocks and higher water tightness performance.

Dr Kazutaka explained that horizontal loading test is carried out at field to verify the reduction factor and FEM (Finite Element Method which refers mostly to complex mathematical procedures used in an application solver) analysis is carried out to verify the field test result. After that he shared some project references with the audience.

FORUM Since then, many German and other Europe-based companies such as Siemens, MPDV and SAP had started to develop the systems and solutions based on PERA model which included PLC, SCADA, MES and ERP for control device, station, work centres and enterprise levels in PERA, respectively.

As a result, IoT, advanced robotic, smart sensor, edge and cloud computing were established. RAMI 4.0 added 2 more levels, namely product and connected world in the hierarchy levels axis, to make it 7 levels.

The systems and solutions for hierarchy levels are very matured now but it has two challenges in interoperability and autonomy (sovereignty) among the proprietary systems and solutions provided by the large manufacturing automation providers[4]. The interoperability and autonomy also attracted the attention of Plattform Industrie 4.0 and set it as two of the three guidelines for ecosystem in the paper, 2030 Vision for Industrie 4.0, published by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in October 2019[5].

The life-cycle value stream axis is important for traceability to increase product value throughout its life-cycle to achieve four important objectives: Fast introduction to market, increase growth rate, prolong the maturity and slow down the decline of product value in the market. It is also very useful for lean manufacturing to eliminate delay, waste and non-value adding processes.

Current systems such as product life-cycle management and supply chain management are very useful in manufacturing operations but they have challenges in autonomy, sustainability, non-unique and redundancy issues between the stakeholders, especially in the distributed manufacturing chain with many different SMI/SMEs. Sustainability is the third guideline for ecosystem in 2030 Vision for Industrie 4.0[5]. Both hierarchy levels and life-cycle value stream axis are SMI/SME centric and are focused on production and product needs. They do not manage the business needs of many interrelated SMI/SMEs in the supply chain.

So how do we overcome this limitation? The solution is in the architecture layers axis which caters to business needs, particularly business operation to ensure interoperability, autonomy and sustainability in between SMI/ SMEs in the whole Industry 4.0 ecosystem. However, the architecture layers axis is the least understood and is sometimes mistaken to be the hierarchy levels axis. Furthermore, the objective of each layer is not clearly defined and there’s absence of affordable solutions for SMI/SMEs, particularly in the distributed manufacturing chain.

In order to implement an affordable Industry 4.0 for SMI/SMEs in the supply chain and build its ecosystem together, a new framework and connectivity standard need to be defined and developed for each layer in the architecture layers axis. [to be continued…]

EM Melaka Branch organised a four-day technical visit to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah on 21-24 November 2019. The 12 participants were not only from Melaka but also from all over the country.

On Friday morning, 22 November, the group made a technical site visit to Sungai Moyog Flood Mitigation Project (RTB Sg. Moyog). This is a Federal Government-funded project, implemented by the Department of Irrigation & Drainage (DID) through DID Sabah’s supervision team headed by its engineer-in-charge, Ir. Choo Khim Tze @ Irene Choo. After a project briefing, we went on the site tour.

In the afternoon, we visited the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) Environment & Water Sdn. Bhd., an international environment and water consultant specialising in numerical modelling and simulation of water-related engineering solutions.

Its Technical Director gave us an overview of the company’s setup and specialisations, followed by a knowledge sharing session. Two case studies, a coastal development project and a river basin water balance related project, were presented and discussed.

We then returned to the hotel for a short rest before dinner. For many of us, this would be the first time we were having a taste of local Kadazan-Dusun cuisine. It was an eye-opener. We also watched live dance performances and some of us joined in the traditional bamboo dance. The evening ended on a fabulous note with lots of exotic food, an entertaining live show and excellent fellowship.

On Saturday morning, we headed for Kampung Tempasak, Penampang where we were welcomed by Cik Liyana of Forever Sabah. Payment For Ecosystem Services (PES) is a pilot project undertaken by Forever Sabah to manage the Babagon water catchment through collaboration among stakeholders.

The project is divided into 2 phases. Phase 1 (2017-2018): Readiness Building Capacity

TECHNICAL VISIT TO FAVELLE FAVCO CRANES

by Ir. Dr Oh Seong Por

T

he Institution of Engineers Malaysia, Negeri Sembilan Branch (IEMNS) organised a technical visit to Favelle Favco Cranes (M) Bhd. at Senawang Industrial Park on 14 November 2019.

Led by Ir. Dr Oh Seong Por, the chairman of IEMNS, a group of 26 participants arrived at Favelle Favco and were welcomed by its engineering manager, Mr. Teo Han Fui. The factory occupies a land size of 68,846 sq metres, with a built-up area of 16,986 sq m. It manufactures tailormade cranes such as construction tower cranes, offshore cranes, wharf cranes and wind turbine construction cranes.

Mr. Teo gave us a brief explanation of the crane design flow.

Step 1: Client specifications are reviewed and design parameters such as lifting capacity (weight), distance and speed are identified. In addition, environment influences such as wind speed or wavelength are also considered.

Next is the type of mounting for crane – moveable wheel, track, platform or supporting column. Safety requirements related to fire or explosion are also studied.

Step 2: Engineering analysis on the crane to determine load chart, component sizing, and winch selection is performed using free body diagram techniques and stress calculation in accordance to API 2C or AISC standards.

Computer-generated finite element analysis is applied to study the high-stress location.

Step 3: Designing the mechanical and electrical system.

Mechanical design determines the size of the winch, wire rope, engine, gearbox and hydraulic devices such as motor, pump and actuator. Detailed drawings of these parts are prepared for fabrication or component selection. Electrical design is aimed at establishing the power distribution from the client to the crane. This involves identifying the appropriate motor (AC and DC) capacity, air conditioning unit and lighting.The control system and safe load indicators of the crane are also finalised at this stage.

Step 4: The finalised design is submitted to the client for review and response for comment. If necessary, a 3rd party is engaged to verify and endorse the design.

Step 5: The endorsed crane design is handed over to

MARCH 2020

the production floor where various machines such as lathe machine, flange cutter, rolling machine, laser cutter and welding machine are used to fabricate components which are then assembled together with standard purchased parts to produce the crane.

Step 6: Testing of the crane. The completed crane needs to be tested to verify its intended design functions, namely lifting capacity and lifting speed. Testing is performed at the testing yard. The Favelle Favco testing yard can handle 8 test units of crane simultaneously.

It has an in-house training centre equipped with hydraulic test kits and a crane simulator which provides a virtual training ground similar to the real situation for trainees to learn to control the crane. Our group had a wonderful experience trying the hydraulic test kits and operating the crane simulator. Overall, we spent 4 hours at Favelle Favco Cranes (M) Bhd. and posed for a group photograph with Mr. Teo before departing. Dr Oh also thanked Mr. Teo and presented him with a souvenir.

NANOSATELLITE UiTMSAT-2 MISSION IDEA SYMPOSIUM

by Nor Shazwaney Atiqah binti Ibrahim

F

ourteen members of IEM@FKE student section, UiTM Shah Alam, visited Kyushu Institute of Technology Kyushu (Kyutech) in Japan on 21-26 January 2019.

They were led by Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr Mohamad Huzaimy Jusoh, Director of UiTM Centre for Satellite Communication under the programme, Nanosatellite UiTMSAT-2 Mission Idea Symposium: An International Mobility Program (IMP) to Kyutech, Japan.

The aim was to enhance the students’ skills and involvement in practical projects by providing them with a platform for sharing their ideas. The UiTM Space Crew had already launched and deployed Malaysia’s first nanosatellite, UiTMSAT-1, from International Space Station (ISS) into space on 29 June and 10 August 2018.

Subsequently, this programme led to the development of nanosatellite project UiTMSAT-2, a continuous encouragement for students to be involved in high-tech critical thinking projects.

The students had prepared four missions for this programme: Automatic Identification System (AIS),

Store & Forward (S&F), Earth Storm Detector (EDS) and Satellite Camera.

AIS is an automatic tracking system for locating the whereabouts of sea-going vessels. It can capture and store at least 89% of AIS messages from ships anywhere in the world and then transmit these to ground stations for tracking the location of the vessels.

S&F allows the collecting of data in certain areas periodically and these are sent to ground control for analysis. The data is then used to monitor (rising) water levels as well as predict and alert flooding, especially in rural areas along the east coast of the peninsula.

EDS is used to detect stormy weather and to provide alerts as a defensive step against natural disasters.

Lastly, the Satellite Camera enables the capturing of wider images from space, especially of places that may otherwise be inaccessible. Important images include that of illegal logging activities deep inside the jungle and of areas that may have lost connection due to natural disasters.

ENGINEER'S ADVENTURES

MARRED BEAUTY OF DAL LAKE, KASHMIR

Ir. Ellias bin Saidin A Vice President in IEM, Ir. Ellias has over 35 years’ experience as a specialist consultant in Civil Engineering infrastructure for development, water resource, water conservation, environmental engineering and water quality.

Houseboats mirrored on the still surface of the lake

M

y wife and I flew into Amritsar in early September 2018 and took the overnight sleeper bus for a 200km trip to Jammu, Kashmir, and then a Chevrolet MPV for the scenic 270km journey along winding mountain roads to the high Himalayan mountains of Kashmir Valley.

We took a shikara (row boat) over the tranquil, mirror-like Dal Lake to a wooden houseboat, our lodging for the week. Motorised boats are not allowed on the lake.

A tourist attraction, Dal Lake has been called Lake Of Flowers and Jewel In The Crown Of Kashmir. Along its 15km shoreline, Emperor Jahangir built Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh, two grand Mughal-style gardens with scenic views of the beautiful lake.

Alas, Dal Lake is heavily polluted today! If efforts to arrest the degradation of the lake fail, it will jeopardise the boathouse tourism industry.

The lake once covered an area of 75 sq kms but has shrunk to 12 sq kms in the last two decades. Its depth is also down by nearly 12m. Dissolved oxygen levels are down from 10.2 mg/litre to 6.8 mg/litre (a level below 5mg/litre will cause stress to fish).

While fingers are pointed at the current 1,200 boathouses, the actual source of pollution lies from the estimated 50,000 population along the shoreline and islands as well as Srinagar city. Houseboats are responsible for just three per cent of the pollution. In 2017, according to Srinagar’s Lakes & Waterways Development Authorities (LWDA), 50 MLD of sewage are discharged daily into the lake, of which 20 million litres are untreated.

To make things worse, 15 major drains discharge into the lake while agriculture and farming in the area means an overland flow of pesticide, fertiliser and waste into the lake. LWDA also estimates that nearly 80,000 tonnes of silt, 31,000 kg of nitrates and 4,000 kg of phosphates are added annually to the lake.

Kashmir’s turbulent political situation does not help, with only 435 of 6,000 families living in the lake area being rehabilitated. Attempts to relocate all the houseboats to one location for ease of infrastructure and facilities have failed. Since 1971, restoration plans include proposing a buffer of 200m and demolition notices to 300 hotels, restaurants,

MARCH 2020

offices and residences. In May 2019, the government stopped further registration of houseboats.

As for the houseboats, prototype innovative floating bio-digesters have been installed to treat sewage, with biogas being generated for cooking purposes. Inevitably, large financing with implementation and enforcement of development and planning needs to be carried out.

The window of our 2-room houseboat looked out on the lake.

Moored away from the busy, noisy shoreline meant a quiet and peaceful stay.

From the verandah, the long chain of houseboats set against the backdrop of the hills, was picturesque.

We watched activities on the lake while lounging on the front verandah of the boat.

We had hot water, comfortable beddings and carpeted floors.

Heaters were available only in winter and during our stay, the ceiling fan proved cooling both in the day and at night.
