In the context of climate change, the increasing frequency of extreme and prolonged rainfall has significantly heightened the risk of urban flooding. Urban waterfront spaces are especially vulnerable, as floods often follow river channels, making adjacent zones primary targets of flood impact. Due to unreasonable zoning or limited urban land availability, these areas frequently lack sufficient space to function as floodable zones that regulate excess stormwater. Additionally, heavy rain-induced runoff can carry pollutants into rivers, threatening local ecosystems and public health. The scouring effect of floods on riverbanks also leads to increased sediment deposition, reducing channel capacity and exacerbating flood risks. Effective flood management must therefore incorporate sediment control strategies. However, current research often treats flood and sediment management as separate issues. This study adopts ABC Waters design guidelines, utilizing runoff routes and sediment transport index to develop an integrated flood retention and sediment management system for the upstream section of Kluang’s Mengkibol River, under land constraints. The aim is to enhance the resilience and environmental quality of urban waterfront spaces against future climate uncertainties.

摘要

In the context of climate change, the increasing frequency of extreme and prolonged rainfall has significantly heightened the risk of urban flooding. Urban waterfront spaces are especially vulnerable, as floods often follow river channels, making adjacent zones primary targets of flood impact. Due to unreasonable zoning or limited urban land availability, these areas frequently lack sufficient space to function as floodable zones that regulate excess stormwater. Additionally, heavy rain-induced runoff can carry pollutants into rivers, threatening local ecosystems and public health. The scouring effect of floods on riverbanks also leads to increased sediment deposition, reducing channel capacity and exacerbating flood risks. Effective flood management must therefore incorporate sediment control strategies. However, current research often treats flood and sediment management as separate issues. This study adopts ABC Waters design guidelines, utilizing runoff routes and sediment transport index to develop an integrated flood retention and sediment management system for the upstream section of Kluang’s Mengkibol River, under land constraints. The aim is to enhance the resilience and environmental quality of urban waterfront spaces against future climate uncertainties.
