Implementation of GIS techniques in mapping the characteristics of Temperah and Tui river’s catchment

Tui River’s catchment and Temperah River’s catchment are located in Lipis District, Pahang. In 2013, the flash floods occur in several villages. It was because the mining activities near the area, causing Tui River overflow quickly when there is heavy rainfall. It was also due to the blockage of dra...

Civil engineering (General) Tui River’s catchment and Temperah River’s catchment are located in Lipis District, Pahang. In 2013, the flash floods occur in several villages. It was because the mining activities near the area, causing Tui River overflow quickly when there is heavy rainfall. It was also due to the blockage of drainage. It causes a lot of damages to houses and structures.

Implementation of Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques in mapping the characteristics of Temperah and Tui River’s catchment was a process to identify the characteristics of the catchments as a first step of flood mitigations project. The objectives of this research were mapping the area and land used in Tui River’s catchment and Temperah River’s catchment by using Geographical Information System (GIS) and identify the characteristics at Tui River’s catchment and Temperah River’s catchment, Lipis. This research was important to give initial information of characteristics of catchment to the local authorities such as Department of Irrigation and Drainage. The catchments was mapped using ArcMap 9.3 version. The characteristics of catchment that have been considered were the type of land use, type of soil in the catchment and the elevation of the catchments. Based on the result, the type of soil for both catchment were sandy clay loam, clay loam, silt loam and mining land which are medium soil in term of proportion of particles. They also have very low infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted.
