ABSTRACT
'"Dry ponds which are also called detention ponds are stormwater basins that
are designed to intercept volume of stormwater runoff and temporarily impound the
water for gradual release to the receiving stream or waterways. This thesis is to
analyze the application of dry pond as a Water Sensitive Urban Design in Taman
Casa Marbella, Tabuan Laru, Sarawak, Malaysia using Storm Water Management
Model (SWMM) SWMM is used to estimate runoff in storm water drainage
components. Three different scenarios are developed, which are first, directly
uncontrolled runoff, secondly dry pond, and thirdly dry pond with underground
detention storage. The modeling output has determined that the peak discharge of
using detention pond is 48% lower than the uncontrolled or direct discharge.
Furthermore, O.9m deep underground storage is expected to fully detend runofffrom
lO-years ARI storm. But with MSMA recommendations, O.6m deep dry pond with
O.4m underground storage is found to be the most suitable design.

ABSTRAK
Kolam takungan yang juga dikenali sebagai kolam tadahan air yang direka
bentuk untuk menakung air dan melepaskannya secara beransur-ansur ke dalam
parit ata sistem pembentung. Tesis ini adalah untuk menganalisa penggunaan kolam
tadahan air di Taman Casa Marbella, Tabuan Jaya Sarawak, Malaysia
menggunakan Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). SWMM digunakan untuk
menganggarkan kuantiti aliran air. Tiga senario yang berlainan iaitu yang pertama,
aliran secara terus, yang kedua, aliran dengan kolam tadahan air, dan yang ketiga,
aliran dengan kolam tadahan serta kolam simpanan air. Hasilnya, kajian ini telah
menentukan bahawa kadar aliran tertinggi bagi kolam takungan adalah 48% lebih
rendah daripada aliran secara terus. Tambahan pula, kedalaman 0.9m simpanan
bawah tanah dijangka menakung 'sepenuhnya aliran untuk 10 tahun ARI. Tetapi
berdasarkan cadangan MSMA, 0.6m kedalaman bagi kolam kering dengan
simpanan bawah tanah 0.4m adalah reka bentuk yang paling sesuai.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Malaysia is the seventh highest growth rate of development country
in Southeast Asia after Laos (CIA 2012). Rapid growth has changed the
topography of the country as more lands are opened for development.
Construction of infrastructures to meet the needs of the people such as roads,
buildings, airports and shdpping complexes have resulted in lower
permeability of the surface terrain, particularly in urban areas to decrease.
This affects the existing water cycle in the area and thus, contributes to many
problems.
Before the development is undertaken, this land area acts as a rI
rainforest catchment to absorb most ofthe rain water into ground water table.
When the cutting of trees as well as land clearing are done, the storage space
of water in the urbanized land decreases with increasing runoff. This increase
can cause adverse effects such as flash flooding, erosion and so on, especially
in the downstream river.
j
The three diagrams (Figure 1.1) illustrate how the water-cycle works
in natural and urban areas.

-Figure l.l Water Cycle in Natural, Urban and WSUD Design area
Management of storm ~ater runoff has caused the formation of two
main approaches that differ fundamentally in terms of controlling the amount
of storm water runoff. As generally known, the conventional approach that
has been practiced in flood control management in our country are fast flow.
A prime example of the steps that are done in this approach is like the
expansion and deepening of the channel size. This method is found to require
a larger area and the high cost of each renovation and upgrading of surface
runoff channels do.
With that, this country has gone a step further by practicing a new
approach. With emphasis on the preservation and conservation of the
environment, the Malaysian Department of Irrigation and Drainage has
2
introduced the Urban Stonnwater Management Manual for Malaysia, MSMA
in 2000. This approach plays a role by providing slowing off source of runoff
~
and releases it slowly into the drainage system of runoff downstream,
adhering to the concepts of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD).
1.2 Problem Statement
One of the components of water cycle is the process of infiltration,
where rain water seeps into the soil layers. Such natural process is hindered,
in which conventional concrete drains contain the rainwater within its
compounded channel walls for rapid disposal. It discontinues the natural
infiltration process particularly in urbanized landscape.
In order to re-introduc~ a healthy urban water cycle, this infiltration
process should be incorporated in a stonn. However, at present, it is quite
difficult to change the existing drainage system, especially in a well-
established residential area. Having a WSUD component that can be
integrated into a rigid drainage system would be the most welcome to reduce
any disturbances to the residents.
As such, a detention system of WSUD approach is attempted here, in
the fonn of a dry pond, to be fitted to an existing concrete drainage system in
any typical terrace housing estate. The dry pond is intended as an agent that
provides temporary storage of runoff, at the same time, allowing infiltration
of rain water side by side a conventional drainage system.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
In this chapter, concepts and ideas related to hydrology regarding on this
thesis are discussed to help the readers to understand the whole picture of the project.
Waterlhydrologic cycle, rainfall-runoff relationship, urban storm water, dry pond
and modeling of storm water drainage are the main components of this study. As
stated in the first objective, the simulation of this study is carried out using S WMM
model. So, the basic concepts and functions of the model are elaborated in this
chapter.
2.2 Water/Hydrologic Cycle
As discussed in the problem statement in previous chapter, disturbance of the
infiltration process due to development is the main factor that contributes to flash
floods in urban area. Because natural infiltration is one main processes of
hydrological cycle, understanding on the infiltration process is essential and
therefore it is discussed in the following writings.
7
••
Patra (2008) defines the hydrologic cycle as the sequence of cyclic events
which correlates the movement of water from the atmosphere to the earth's surface
and then to the large water bodies through surface and subsurface routes and finally
going back to atmosphere. The ocean is the earth's largest reservoir which stores 97
percent of the terrestrial water.
There are six main components of hydrologic cycle which are precipitation,
infiltration, evaporation, transpiration, surface runoff, and groundwater flow. When
water is evaporated by the sun, it fonns into clouds in which later water vapor falls
to the land and the sea as precipitation (mostly rains), and continuously finds its way
back to the atmosphere through hydrological processes for example evaporation or
transpiration. For most cases, evaporation and transpiration are sometimes combined
together and called evapotranspiration.

Figure 2.1 shows the process of the hydrologic cycle system. As the water
seeps into the land, plants consume up infiltrated water and ground water and return ~
a part of it to the atmosphere through their leaves, and the process is known as
transpiration. Some infiltrated water emerges to surface water bodies as interflow,
while other portions become groundwater flow. After an initial filling of interception
and depression storage, and providing that the rate of precipitation exceeds that of
infiltration, overland flow or known as surface runoff begins. The system is a
continuous cycle and happening throughout the day (Viessman and Lewis 2003).
2.3 Rainfall-Runoff Relationship
When rain falls, it is intercepted by leaves and stems of vegetation. This is
usually referred to as interception' storage. When the rainfall continues, water
reaching the ground surface infiltrates into the soil until its infiltration capacity is
reached.
Thereafter, surface puddles, ditches, drain and other depressions are filled
until it is full, then the runoff is generated. The infiltration capacity of the soil
depends on its texture and structure, as well as on the antecedent soil moisture
content from the previous rainfall or dry season. The initial capacity for example of a
dry soil is high but, as the storm continues, it decreases until it reaches a steady value
termed as final infiltration rate.
9
The runoff generation process continues as long as the rainfall intensity
exceeds the actual infiltration capacity of the soil but it stops as soon as the rate of
rainfall drops below the actual rate of infiltration (Figure 2.2).

(Linsley et al. 1958)
2.4 Urban Stormwater
Sections 2.2 and 2.3 discuss about the hydrology in a natural catchment.
From this section onwards, it deals with urbanized catchment after the intervention
of human activities. An urban environment has a different rainfall-runoff relationship
10
compared to natural catchment, mainly due to a drastic change to infiltration,
evaporation and transpiration processes in its water cycle. As a result, precipitation is
" directly converted to surface nmoff with increased volumes, while less to
groundwater flow.
This alteration of water cycle in urban catchment has caused numerous
problems, like flash flood and loss of natural habitats. Because of this, WSUD is an
effort to incorporate the natural processes to urban water cycle in hoping to restore
as much as possible a balanced water cycle. The Australian National Water
Commission (2004) has outlined the WSUD objectives which are to:
1. minimise impacts on existing natural features and ecological processes;
u. minimise impacts on natural hydrologic behaviour of catchments;
111. protect water quality of surface and ground waters;
IV. minimise demand on the reticulated water supply system;
v. improve the quality of and minimize polluted water discharges to the natural
environment;
vi. incorporate collection treatment and/or reuse of runoff, including roof water
and other storrnwater;
VB. reduce run-off and peak flows from' urban development;
viii. a:e-use treated effluent and minimize wastewater generation;
IX. increase social amenity in urban areas through mUlti-purpose green space,
landscaping and integrating water into the landscape to enhance visual,
social, cultural and ecological values;
