Abstract
Nowadays we heard that flood disaster has caused destruction to properties
and also took the life of innocent people. Hence various drastic measures have
being exclaimed by the government in order to put a stop to the problem, and of
course it is up to Jabatan Saliran & Pengairan (JPS) and connected private body to
implement any appropriate measures. As for that this final year project will involve
research on the effectiveness of the drainage system to prevent flood in the area of
Pusat Bandar Parit Buntar, Kerian District, Perak Darul Ridzuan.
From the history of Parit Buntar, once occurred a massive flood which
caused the destruction of thousand of crops, as a result from a pipe structure failure.
In spite of that, with the help of Ampang Jajar to control the flow of water, that
problem have being overcome successfully. However, flood may still occured at the
upstream of Sungai Kerian especially during high tide or heavy rainfall.
The purpose of this final year project is to gather any relevant data or
information from which will be analysed with appropriate method. Hence, this
report will be discuss about the method and alternatives that can be implemented in
any future projects regarding on upgrading the drainage system in the project area,
whether it is done by the district council or JPS, with hope that it may also benefits
those who are involved directly or indirectly in preventing flood in our country.
