  • A paradigm shift from upstream reservoir to downstream/coastal reservoirs management in Malaysia to meet SDG6

    • Authors: Chong, Tan Yew;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Noh, MD Nasir Bin Mohd; Poh, Lim Sin; Choong, Micheal Teh Jin (2018)

  • Water is the core of sustainable development. Water scarcity affects more than 40% of the global population and this percentage is projected to rise. Malaysia, despite having abundant annual rainfall, experiences water stress in major cities. In order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6), the Malaysian government recognizes the need to harvest water using alternative methods. As a result, Malaysia has recently seen a paradigm shift in water resources development works from traditional upstream reservoirs to downstream reservoirs.

  • Cardiff bay: A coastal reservoir for urban regeneration

    • Authors: Falconer, Roger;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2018)

  • The world faces considerable water management challenges now and increasingly in the future; primarily brought about by: the predicted impacts of climate change, the increasing need to provide more water, food and energy for a growing global population, and increasing globalisation leading to a wider global wealth distribution and a corresponding increase in demand for water, associated with the need for more commodities (such as cars, clothes) etc. In addition, in most countries world-wide there is an increasing population shift away from rural communities to larger urban cities, where there are better employment prospects, and with these cities often being located near the coast.

  • Coastal reservoirs in China

    • Authors: Lin,Pengzhi;  Advisor: -;  Participants: He, Zhiguo; Gong, Zelin; Wu, Jinquan (2018)

  • Modern river basin management treats flooding not only as a threat, but also as a precious water resource. In inland areas, dams are built to impound water in reservoirs. In coastal regions, however, building reservoirs does not seem to be an obvious choice, at least at first glance. How to develop more freshwater for coastal cities becomes a challenging issue. For coastal regions with abundant precipitation and/or river outflow, the key to solving water shortage problem is to find a suitable place to store freshwater, especially during the flood season.

  • Comprehensive operation of reservoirs and sluice-pump groups in the pearl river basin

    • Authors: Ma, Zhipeng;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Wang, Sen; Wan, Donghui; Zhang, Kang; Zou, Huazhi (2017)

  • In order to prevent flood and drought disasters, cascade reservoirs and embankments have been constructed in the main river, and numerous sluices and pumps have also been installed in the delta of the Pearl River. These manmade projects have caused substantial changes in the hydraulic regime in the Pearl River basin. We propose a 1D/2D coupled flood model to precisely characterize flood flows accounting for how the water flows out of and then returns to the main channel.

  • On sediment-induced problems under the dam rehabilitation and improvement project in India

    • Authors: Sanjay Giri;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Pramod Narayan (2018)

  • Dams and reservoirs are important assets in India with strong seasonal flow pattern variations and highly increasing water and energy demands due to rapid growth of economy and population.The negative impacts of dams and reservoirs can be attributed to poor planning, mismanagement, inefficient operations and insufficient consideration (or negligence) of mitigation strategies. The importance of dams and reservoirs and both their positive and negative impacts should be objectively measured vis-a-vis multi-sectorial benefits, specific priorities and demands.
