Calibration of hydrodynamic modelling for Sungai Lukut / Fardzli Zainudin

With the Construction of the Kuala Lumpur Airport in Sepang many surrounding areas will be undergoing rapid transformation and developments. One of the effected area is Sungai Lukut. Sungai Lukut is the main river of Sungai Tanah Merah, Sungai Jimah, Sungai Puting, Sungai Sendayan and Sungai Pak Mail. The location of Sungai Lukut is at Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. The study of these thesis is to predict the water level, flow discharge and sediment transport at the proposed development area. The MIKE 11 software, a modeling software for rivers and channels will be used to model the area. The result from field observation is compared with result from computer modeling using software MIKE 11, which is normally used to calibrate the river flow. The theory is used to discuss and explain some observed behaviour of real river flow and possible implications for the river after the development. With this information it is then possible to derive a cost effective strategy for a detail assessment of outfall feasibility at a limited depth on sites. In this way, time and money will not be wasted in collecting appropriate or relevant field data or examining in detail options which should have been discarded at an earlier stage.
