Abstract
Due to the rapid development, flooding occurred progressively. This scenario
is worsened if improper drainage systems were implemented. The inattentiveness to
all the problems occurred will generate the possibility for more severe flooding risk
and creates further damages of property and loss of lives.
Since the implementation of Urban Stormwater Management Manual of
Malaysia (MSMA) in 2001 by Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Malaysia, the
Best Management Practices (BMPs) through construction of detention ponds have
been encouraged. After 8 years of implementation, there is a need to reconsider the
recommendation of constructing detention pond for water quantity control by
evaluating performance of the constructed dry detention ponds using computer
modelling.
