Field Data Collection at Tanjung Sedeli, Johor

National Water Research Institute Malaysia through Research Center for Coastal and Oceanography (hereafter known as NAHRIM) conduct research with the collaboration of Center for Coastal and Ocean Engineering & School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (hereafter known as UTM) for study “The role of sediment source on erosion and sedimentation at the coastal zone for the potential development of innovative shoreline protection and preservation system” in Year 2020. This study is part of the MoU between NAHRIM and UTM. The location of the study is coastal area along the Tanjung Sedeli, Johor.

Numerical Model Study on the Physical Model of Ringlet Reservoir, Cameron Highlands

The physical model of Ringlet Reservoir is an alternative study for investigating efficient sediment removal proposed at Hydraulic and Instrumentation Laboratory in National Water Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM). Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has been engaged by NAHRIM to develop a physical and numerical model to study the hydrodynamic and sediment transport pattern. Sungai Habu and Ringlet were tested up to three return period; 1-year, 5-years and 100-years. Groyne (access ram) is identified as control mitigation structure for halting the sediment movement apart from existing check dam. Hydrodynamic models (HEC-RAS 2D with additional overview of simulation in FLOW-3D) were used to simulate numerically the physical model experiment. Three materials (wood dust, sand and bakelite) were used for the sediment plume distribution pattern.
