Malaysia, in particular the east coast of peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, is known as one of the vulnerable regions to flood disaster. Prolonged and intense rainfall, natural activities and increase in runoff are the main reasons to cause flooding in this area. In addition, topographic conditions also contribute to the occurrence of flood disaster. Kuching city is located in the northwest of Borneo Island and part of Sarawak river catchment. This area is a developing state in Malaysia experiencing rapid urbanization since 2000s, which has caused the insufficient data availability in topography and hydrology. To deal with these challenging issues, this study presents a flood modelling framework using the remote sensing technologies and machine learning techniques to acquire the digital elevation model (DEM) with improved accuracy for the non-surveyed areas. Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves were derived from climate model for various scenario simulations. The developed flood framework will be beneficial for the planners, policymakers, stakeholders as well as researchers in the field of water resource management in the aspect of providing better ideas/tools in dealing with the flooding issues in the region.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Wendi2018, author = {Wendi, Dadiyorto}, title = {Recurrence Plots and Quantification Analysis of Flood Runoff Dynamics}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43191}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-431915}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {114}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This paper introduces a novel measure to assess similarity between event hydrographs.

This contribution addresses questions about possibly changing environmental conditions which might have altered the occurrence frequencies of such events and their consequences. We analyze the following major fields of environmental changes. Altered high intensity rain storm conditions, as a consequence of regionalwarming; Possibly altered runoff generation conditions in response to high intensity rainfall events; Possibly altered runoff concentration conditions in response to the usage and management of the landscape, such as agricultural, forest practices or rural roads; Effects of engineering measures in the catchment, such as retention basins, check dams, culverts, or river and geomorphological engineering measures. We take the flash-flood in Braunsbach, SW-Germany, as an example, where a particularly concise flash flood event occurred at the end of May 2016. This extreme cascading natural event led to immense damage in this particular village. The event is retrospectively analyzed with regard to meteorology, hydrology, geomorphology and damage to obtain a quantitative assessment of the processes and their development. The results show that it was a very rare rainfall event with extreme intensities, which in combination with catchment properties and altered environmental conditions led to extreme runoff, extreme debris flow and immense damages. Due to the complex and interacting processes, no single flood cause can be identified, since only the interplay of those led to such an event. We have shown that environmental changes are important, but-at least for this case study-even natural weather and hydrologic conditions would still have resulted in an extreme flash flood event.}, language = {en} } @article{WendiMerzMarwan2019, author = {Wendi, Dadiyorto and Merz, Bruno and Marwan, Norbert}, title = {Assessing hydrograph similarity and rare runoff dynamics by cross recurrence plots}, series = {Water resources research}, volume = {55}, journal = {Water resources research}, number = {6}, publisher = {American Geophysical Union}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0043-1397}, doi = {10.1029/2018WR024111}, pages = {4704 -- 4726}, year = {2019}, abstract = {This paper introduces a novel measure to assess similarity between event hydrographs.
