Hi everyone! Apa khabar? I am a Senior Civil/Water Engineer from Arup Malaysia.

(1) There are several environmental pain points that I am passionate about addressing in my home country or beyond. They relate to availability and sustainable use of water as natural resources (which include the integrated water cycle of flooding, water supply and wastewater), river water quality and sustainable development for future generations.

To be able to interact with water experts and like-minded youth is an occasion that cannot be missed. I have much to share about unique experiences working on flood mitigation and water quality projects in the context of a tropical developing country like Malaysia.

(2) Water excess (floods) and water limitations (inefficient distribution, water quality issues, and drought) are frequently seen in my country.

(3) Best management practices for flood risk management

See all of you soon!

Cheers,

I am Angie, PhD student from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).  Besides, I am also working as coastal engineering consultant in Singapore and Malaysia.

(1) I am currently doing study related to sustainable water resources supply to the development. In order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6), the Malaysia government recognizes the need to harvest water using alternative methods. In this forum, I wish to exchange ideas and knowledge on methods for sustainable water resources.

(2) Malaysian water demands are anticipated to escalate  as the country continues to develop. This indicates a need to water supply system development with capacity of about 10,000 MLD from 2010 to 2030. Considering the present stress on water resources quantity and quality in major cities, this has become one of the key issues for development in Malaysia. A sustainable solution to water resources development is critical in order to support the increasing water demand.

(3) I am interested with the topic regarding to evolution of water resources development, internationally.

Hope to see you guys soon! Have a nice day!

Hi, everyone!

My name is Li Xin. I am a graduate student from Tsinghua University, majored in Hydraulic Engineering. I am one of the participants of InYouF 2018.

(1)    My study is related to natural disasters, especially debris flow. My current research is to determine the impact of barrier dams, caused by debris flow, to the evolution of riverbed. So there is a closed connection between what I am doing and the theme of InYouF 2018.Of course, I wish to exchange ideas with you guys about the water-related disasters.

(2)    I think flood control, water quality deterioration and debris flow are among the important issue in China. In southwest China, villages and cities are suffered from debris flow during the rain season. The destructive power of debris flow is so strong that it may destroy one city and bury thousands of people in just few hours.

(3)    I would like to learn from our discussion on understanding the water disaster risk. I expect to find a more precise method to evaluate disaster risk distribution.

I am looking forward to meet you all!

Cheers,

Raidan, UPM

Hi every one

My name is Raidan Saleh Maqtan, my Bachelor study was in civil engineering after that I have got 2 years course in Water Resources and Environment in Yemen. In the previous semester I have completed my master study at UPM in Water Engineering and going to start my PhD study in next semester. My dissertation in water engineering was related to tsunami wave physical modeling and the lab work was done at NAHRIM. One of the choices in my PhD study is to continue in the same topic with wider range if I have got the required facilities.

My interest generally is about water related problems including, water related disasters (flooding, soil loss, …), harvesting, and hydraulics. I was one of the participants in 37 IAHR 2017 as YPN volunteer through which I have gained a helpful experience, new knowledge and friends. I am looking forward to gain the same or more in this InYouF 2018.

Generally, my country suffers from shortage of water for drinking and irrigation purposes. Furthermore, the rainwater drainage system and wastewater treatment in large cities, rainwater harvesting, and coastal line need to be developed.

From this workshop, I would like to gain new knowledge related to my interest and of course new friends.

I am looking forward to meet all of you there for a good time and Knowledge exchanges.

Cheers,

Raidan

My name is Nur syahirah and i study at Universiti Tun hussein Onn Malaysia that located at Parit Raja, Johor..my major is civil and environmental engineering.. And now i focus in treatment of leachate that produce by solid waste.

1) this forum be related to my study because it about water. Leachate at landfill is very dangerous wastewater. So, before build the landfill need to be consider about the place. If the place is flood area it will disturb the landfill. Besides that, most of the landfill in malaysia did not constructed to avoid the rainwater. That can cause overflow and the detention pond cannot support the leachate. This will affect the quality of water if the leachate enter the river.

2)based on my opinion, flood is the most difficult problem to be solve.it because every year it become worse.

3)i want something that we can do for reduce the flood. Like new technology that can absorb the flood and do the flood water for something else. Besides that, something that can bring awareness to society to protect our environment..

Hi everyone. I am Eugene, PhD student of Department of Civil Engineering, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.

First and foremost, I am glad to have this opportunity to participate in this workshop. This workshop has a close connection with my research. Currently, I am developing hydrological models specifically for extreme flood events by utilizing various near real-time satellite precipitation products for Peninsular Malaysia. Flood is one of the most important water issue that happen in our country. It can be particularly disruptive, leading to widespread collapse of infrastructure. Malaysia, being hot and humid all year round, with an average rainfall around 2500 mm annually, is susceptible to extreme flooding events especially in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. In the recent years, flooding events has been increasing in terms of frequency and impact. For example, the 2014 flood in Malaysia has been described as the worst flood in decades. The damages caused by this flood has affected badly on the people causing them a great devastation, especially when it comes to the loss of homes and other infrastructures. Although a lot of research has been carried out to address these issues, there is still lack of understandings on the driving parameters that contributes to the more frequent flooding events. Hopefully, in this workshop, I could gain new knowledge as well as new friends. Also, it will be glad if I could find any collaboration for any research of the same field/interest.

Looking forward to meet all of you there.

Cheers,

Eugene

Hello everyone! I am Leong, first year master student from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). I am one of the participants of InYouF 2018.

(1) My study is related to sedimentation in sewer system. My current research is to carry out a Fuzzy FMEA risk assessment of hydraulic flushing gate in managing sediment in open drain. The forum is related to my study as sedimentation in  open storm drain has caused adverse effect on drainage system such as flash flood. I wish to gain and exchange the knowledge on the risk involve in water research and management.

(2) The most important water issue in my country? I will say is risk management and flood mitigation. Under the 11th Malaysia Plan, one of the six strategic thrusts is "Pursuing green grow for sustainability and resilience" where one of the focus area is strengthening resilience against climate change and natural disaster. Under this focus area, two of the associated strategies is related to water issue are strengthening disaster risk management and improving flood mitigation.

(3) I would like to gain the knowledge on the risk involve in water engineering  and actions to be taken to solve the risk involve in water engineering issue.

Have a nice day and see you ^^.

Hello everyone, I am an undergraduate student from the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at Tsinghua University.  I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in this forum.
I am very interested in the management of flood risk in developing countries.
In the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins in China, flooding   has occurred frequently. In history, there have also been many large-scale floods, causing serious loss of life and property. For example, on July 1, 2017, the water level in the mainstream of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River continued to rise, causing millions of people to be transferred urgently, bringing huge economic losses. How to  identify the risk of floods more accurately and carry out more accurate flood warnings is very meaningful for reducing flood disasters.

I hope that in this forum, I could learn more about how to manage flood risks and predict flood disasters, how to better identify and manage flood risks.

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Cheers,

Dear facilitators:

My name is Haichuan Liu. I am a second-year student from the department of Hydraulic，Tsinghua University. You can call me Edison if you want. It's an honor for me be one of the participants of InYouF 2018.

For the question 1: My major is Hydraulic Engineering and I'd like to communicate about applications of "Flood risk map" in China with others.

For the question 2: In China, due to the complex terrain and climatic conditions, it is very difficult to forecast the flood, especially in cities. In recent years, urban flooding has caused casualties and economic losses, so I think we need an efficient tool to manage flood risk.

For the question 3: I hope to listen to relevant experts' opinions on flood risk management, and communicate freely with others to explore effective ways to manage floods.

Cheers,

Hello,

My name is Ai Sher and I am a master’s student from the River Engineering and Urban Drainage Research Centre (REDAC) at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). I am also the Chief Technology Officer at TCK , a company that provides turnkey electronics, telecommunications, software development, and project management solutions for water resource, disaster and environmental systems.

I am currently studying Sustainable urban drainage systems--specifically, how technology can be used to improve decision making and the management of water resources.

The nation’s rapid development has resulted in demands not only for more water, but also better water. Better data management systems are required to enable better water resource planning across the country. With better data, we can get a better understanding of the world’s water resources, forecast surface weather, and make better, informed, decisions that can help protect lives and the environment.

I’m keen to share my experiences, as well as learn more about other innovations in water resource management.

Hi, greetings to all of you. First of all I would like to welcome our honorable guests from Tsinghua University, China. Well for myself, my name is Soung Ying or you can address me as Dumdum. I am a  current 2nd year undergraduate student pursuing Civil Engineering at USM KKJ.
1)The reason why I joined this forum was a coincidence. Initially I would like to join as a helper but then Dr Goh accidentally invited me as the participant. I am very thankful that I was given a chance to join the discussion team as we are going to seek for a better solution countering the impacts of  flood. I would expect creative and innovative ideas to be brought out so that WE the future leaders are making ourselves forward to a sustainable environment.
2) Every year our beloved country Malaysia has to be struck by massive flood. These floods had caused the economical lost and our citizens are suffering, innocent lifes are losing to the power of nature while we the engineers have the ability to stop or at least mitigate the situation. As a penangite, our lovely homeland Penang had encountered one of the most terrible flood in the history. Hence, I hope to seek for a solution to counter the flood else than just upgrading the drainage system.  Wetlands are definitely one of the greener choice that we can look into it.
3) Well at least at the end of the workshop I could know much on the problems and suggested mitigation of flood. For the most important thing is we do build up the interaction among us which then brings us to a higher stage and excel our ideas as the most effective way to treat the flood. Looking forward to meet all of you soon and let's make some friends here! =D

Cheers,
Au Soung Ying

Hi everyone,

My name is Muhammad Kashfy. I’m from REDAC USM Engineering Campus, participant of InYouf 2018. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD here in Hydroinformatic, a research field that uses application of computer technology in addressing water issues.

(1) My research focus is the application of flood risk assessment with hydrodynamic modeling in flood management focusing merely at urban areas. Risk assessment is a non-structural flood management approach providing pre-management tools for which the flood disaster preparedness can be referred to all measures to prepare before the event. Hence, the discussion of water management in this program from experts and youths would be my golden opportunity to gain new knowledge of current global water-related issues and solutions.

(2) Serious flood event such as the one experienced in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia in December 2014 and more recently in Penang, November 2017, highlighted the serious hazard posed by flooding in this country. These large-scale flood events severely impacted peoples, infrastructures, houses including loss of human life. Therefore, effective solutions to minimize the flood impact is critical for the future of this country.

(3) I am interested to hear the view from Prof. Shahbaz Khan as an expert and experienced figure on this topic and his view on the role of youth in contributing solution to a global issue. I am also looking forward to listening and discuss among the experts and youths about the causes and solutions for the water issue.

Thank you,

Muhammad Kashfy

Greetings,
I'm Weihang from USM Engineering Campus. Currently a second year student which is possessing Civil Engineering Degree in USM.

As for me, the reason I am joining this event is to understand and explore more about water management, especially stormwater management as well as clean water and sanitation, where they're related to current or urban development always.
I expect that I can broaden my ideas and opinions in this field so that I can enroll myself in particular field in future.

In my opinion, the most important issue that appeared to be more challenging is the (flash) flood issue. In fact, some places in Malaysia are said to be having a serious flood once in around two decades, i.e. Flood occurred at East Coast of Malaysia few years back. Besides, the flash flood issue is always a problem which causes inconveniences to citizens.

As what I mentioned, I expect to explore more on this field. I would like to learn and explore more on water supply/demand and management which is correlated to urban development nowadays.

Best Regards,
Weihang Lim
