POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF COASTAL RESERVOIR IN MALAYSIA

Malaysia is a tropical Southeast Asian country with a steady annual rainfall and river flow pattern. The enormous river networks provide enough supply to build a coastal reservoir study, which would coincide with the government’s goal of exploring new raw water storage and delivery options. This study examines the present state of knowledge, technical features, and studies concerning coastal reservoirs around the world. Despite the possibility of high costs on the reservoir embankment and water delivery, feasibility studies are proceeding and yielding good results. According to this research, embankment design and reservoir operation must account for climate change implications such as rising groundwater level, changing streamflow discharge during intense and extended droughts, floods, and water quality issues. Although various technical aspects require further research current state of knowledge and technology are sufficient.

Abstract

Malaysia is a tropical Southeast Asian country with a steady annual rainfall and river flow pattern. The enormous river networks provide enough supply to build a coastal reservoir study, which would coincide with the government’s goal of exploring new raw water storage and delivery options. This study examines the present state of knowledge, technical features, and studies concerning coastal reservoirs around the world. Despite the possibility of high costs on the reservoir embankment and water delivery, feasibility studies are proceeding and yielding good results. According to this research, embankment design and reservoir operation must account for climate change implications such as rising groundwater level, changing streamflow discharge during intense and extended droughts, floods, and water quality issues. Although various technical aspects require further research current state of knowledge and technology are sufficient.
