VALUES
Flood protection system will be needed generally to provide and manage the protection of
people and their properties including land from flooding, river erosion, and land erosion.
Furthermore, it also needed to prevent the urban in identified areas from damage caused by
flood and erosion, and also to prevent damage on the environment within and beyond urban
area. In the end, the ultimate value for flood protection system is to achieve people survival
as the protection from flood to the people and environment will help the people to have more
chance in living.
GOALS
In order for the people and environment to obtain full protection from flooding, there are
some goals that have to be fulfilled, which are:
Improve the quality of flood control system, including the existing infrastructure (like
dykes, dam) and the land drainage system across the urban.
Utilising the most cost effective, long-term management options using natural asset to
fully prevent flooding risk. The natural assets being discussed are the river within urban
area which used to accommodate the run-off flow from the urban; and the natural
catchment area within and beyond urban area which play important role in reduce the
OBJECTIVES
To protect land, buildings, and infrastructure from flooding, there are some main objectives
on flood protection system, which are:
Improve land drainage system, including main drainage system, road and houses
drainage system, sewage system, and so on. Main drainage system will receive water
from sub drainage system (road and house drainage system) and transport it to an
outfall (river or stream). The drainage system must be improved so that each of drainage
can meet the water flood elevation demand.
MEASURE OF EFFECTIVENESS
To make sure the objectives of flood control system already achieved, there are some
measurements that can be taken, which is:
catchment area is improved enough, then the run-off debit absolutely will reduce.
Flood water elevations for the river.
Improvement of the river is done for increasing the river capacity in receiving run-off flow
from urban area. The measurement in that objective is the flood water elevation on the
river. If the capacity of the river is larger, then the elevation of flood water in the river will
be lower.
Percent of flood risk at rainy season
To achieve full protection from flood, the investigation of climate and land use change is
being improved as to knowing its potency in increasing flood risk. The percent of flood
risk at rainy session will indicate whether the climate and land use change play an
important role or not regarding flood risk; and also will measure if the investigation
already improved effectively or not.
