Stormwater Management

 The first urban drainage manual, „Planning and Design

Procedures No.1:Urban Drainage Design Standards
and Procedures for Peninsular Malaysia’ was published
by DID in 1975.
 This manual was prepared as a guideline for engineers in
designing drainage system and had been referred to by
various agencies at federal and state level for the
drainage requirements needed for any development in
urban areas.
 The manual has been in used as a guideline for more
than twenty five years and since its publication, changes
have not been made although there have been many new
technological developments in urban drainage.
 Beside the Design Procedures No. 1:Urban Drainage
Design Standards and Procedures for Peninsular Malaysia
– 1975, DID also published Hydrological Procedure in
1977.
 Major concern of this standard and procedures have been
to the “rapid disposal of flood” but less concerns to
the “source control of flood”
Storm Water Management Manual 1st Edition
 It is time to take a proactive measure to change the
manual to incorporate the latest development in storm
water management that is known as control-at-source
approach.
 This approach utilizes detention/retention, infiltration
and purification processes.
 The quality and quantity of the runoff from developing
area can be maintained to be the same as
predevelopment condition.
The beauty of using control-at-source method

Drain size needed in There is an integration

the urban area is of environmental
smaller and Stormwater runoff friendly drainage
comparable with the effect is reduced infrastructures and the
predevelopment landscape, developing
condition; natural harmony
 As an example, if a swale
(ground drainage which is
covered with grasses) is
constructed to replace
concrete drain at the road
side, it can function as
stormwater discharge
storage agent and filter
pollutants from non-point
source such as grease from
vehicles.
 The swale also can be part of
landscaped area that will be
decorated with trees and
flower plants.
 This new approach is more environmental friendly and
capable of integrating other facilities.
 Examples are, landscaped area and temporary stormwater
storage facilities in car parks and playgrounds.
 At the Federal Government Administrative Center
Putrajaya, this new approach has been applied by
incorporating the lake and wetland as storage and purifier
of stormwater
 Stormwater collection tank and retention pond are
among the suitable methods that can be used as control
at source infrastructures.
 Utilizing control at source approach can also result in
 maintaining a harmonious environment for urban
community,
 increasing its aesthetic value, and therefore
 increasing the value of the properties.
 The use of environmental friendly approach is expected to
happen sooner or later. However, based on development
in other countries, this will probably take 15 (fifteen) years
without any proactive initiatives.
 Hence, Department of Irrigation and Drainage has
produces the second urban drainage manual which is
titled the Storm water Management Manual 1st Edition
so that this new concept can be immediately implemented
and administered in a systematic manner and with a faster
approach.
 The Storm water Management Manual is prepared by DID
to replace the first manual. It is more comprehensive, taking
into consideration the present problems facing by the
nation such as flash flood, river pollution, soil erosion,
development in the highlands and lowlands and so on.
 Latest development based on control at source approach
has also been documented.
The purpose of this Manual

 The goal of this Manual is to provide guidance to all

regulators, planners and designers who are involved in
stormwater management.
 It identifies a new direction for stormwater management
in urban areas in Malaysia.
 Stormwater management within a catchment is often
undertaken by a number of organisations.
 The challenge is to ensure that the administration of the
planning, design and maintenance of stormwater
management systems is consistent across the relevant
Local, State and Federal Authorities and the professions of
planning, environmental and civil engineering, and
landscape architecture.
 Under this new direction, stormwater management will
have multiple objectives, including to:
 ensure the safety of the public;
 control nuisance flooding and provide for the safe
passage of less frequent and larger flood events;
 protect property;
 stabilise the landform and control erosion;
 optimise the land available for urban development;
 minimise the environmental impact of urban runoff on
water quality;
 enhance the urban landscape.
 These objectives will be seen as being achieved when:
 the planning, design and construction of new
stormwater facilities is adequate to service the
requirements of new and future developments;
 there is compatibility with existing stormwater facilities,
operational methods and maintenance techniques;
 stormwater facilities provide adequate environmental,
community and asset protection; consistent with
acceptable planning, design and construction
requirements and the principles of ecologically
sustainable development
Scope

 This manual covers all aspects and requirements of

stormwater management for urban areas throughout
Malaysia.
 While this Manual does not specify requirements for
stormwater management in rural areas, many of the
actions, measures and techniques presented in this
Manual could be applied in rural areas as appropriate.
Related Documents

 This Manual is supported by a number of other related

documents that cover aspects of stormwater
management.
 These documents should be also considered when
planning urban development and/or designing
stormwater management infrastructure. The documents
are:
 Guidelines on River Front Development, Federal
Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia
 Guidelines on the Prevention and Control of Soil
Erosion and Siltation in Malaysia, Department of
Environment, 1996
Urban Storm Water Management (MSMA) 1st Edition

 This manual has forty-eight chapters and is divided

into eleven parts is given in appendix 1 (Table of
Contents). The first three parts contain background
information on environmental process and stormwater
management, administration aspects and planning
processes.
 The remaining parts contain detailed information on
hydrology and hydraulics, runoff quantity control and
conveyance, structural and non-structural water quality
controls, water quality controls during construction,
vegetation and watercourse management and special
stormwater applications

Storm Water Management Manual 2nd Edition
 MSMA (Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia or Urban
Stormwater Management Manual) is the drainage design
procedure first published by the DID in 2000.
 It is required by law for all engineers in Malaysia to design
drainage works to comply with the requirements of
MSMA.
 Eleven years after its first publication, DID has
completely revised the first edition of MSMA with the
release of the Second Edition.
 The MSMA 2nd Edition has been prepared through the co-
operative and collaborative between governmental
organizations, private agencies as well as individuals.
 MSMA 2nd edition is an improved version of the MSMA 1st
edition that provide planning and design guidance to all
those involved in the management and stormwater.
Goal and objectives

 Provide easy guidance to all regulators, planners and

designers who are involved in stormwater management
implementation.
 Stormwater management will have multiple green and
hazards-free objectives within and downstream of
development area
 Ensure the safety of the public
 Control nuisance flooding
 Stabilise the landform and control erosion
 Minimise the environmental impact of runoff,, and
 Enhance the urban landscape and ecology
Scope

 Cover most of the important aspects and requirement of

stormwater management practices for new and
existing urban areas
 “Design Guides for Erosion and Sediment Control in
Malaysia (DID, 2010)” should be considered together
when planning urban development and/or designing
stormwater management infrastructure
