Variability effects of rainfall events on soil erosion in northernregion of peninsular Malaysia_Syaran Suri_A9_2016_MYMY
Lebih banyak hujan lebat disebabkan oleh perubahan iklim terbukti memburukkan lagi kehakisan dan akhirnya hakisan. Kajian terdahulu telah mengemukakan sistem hamparan 8R yang boleh menambah baik kestabilan cerun dan kawalan hakisan. Objektif kajian ini adalah pertama untuk mendapatkan trend hujan dan indeks iklim ekstrem, kedua untuk menentukan kehakisan hujan menggunakan indeks Fournier terubah suai dan akhir sekali untuk mengenal pasti hubungan di antara kelebatan hujan dan kestabilan system hamparan 8R. Empat lokasi bertempat di rantau utara semenajung Malaysia dipilih. Variasi hujan tahunan dan monsun jangka masa panjang (30 tahun) dikaji. Daripada plot siri masa dan analisa trend variasi purata tahunan, hanya Kangar memberikan trend negatif yang signifikan menunjukkan Kangar akan menjadi lebih kering. Analisa iklim ekstrim menunjukkan semasa monsun barat daya, Kangar menjadi lebih kering dari tahun ke tahun. Sementara itu, Simpang Ampat menjadi lebih lembab pada monsun timur laut. Stesen lain menunjukkan trend iklim ekstrim yang tidak signifikan. Kajian keseluruhan tentang kehakisan hujan menggunkan indeks Fournier terubah suai menunjukkan rantau kajian ini dibawah impak kehakisan hujan sederhana dan rendah. Kajian pada tahap hakisan menggunakan kehakisan hujan dan kebolehhakisan tanah di tapak pembinaan sistem hamparan 8R menunjukkan rantau ini berada dibawah tahap tinggi empat (HL4) tahap hakisan mendorong tanah runtuh. Akhir sekali didapati bahawa tiada hubungkait yang signifikan di antara kelebatan hujan dan kestabilan sistem hamparan 8R diperolehi. Penggunaan batu terhancur sebagai bahan pemenuh dan pembinaan longkang membantu air dari memberi kesan kepada kestabilan sistem ini. __________________________________________________________________________________ More intense rainfalls caused by climate change proven to worsen erosivity and ultimately erosion. A previous study has come up with 8R mat system that can improve slope stability and erosion control. The objectives of this study are first to obtain the trend for rainfall and climate extreme indices, second to determine the rainfall erosivity using Modified Fourneir Index and lastly to identify the relationship between rainfall intensity and the stability of 8R mat system. Four stations located in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia were chosen. The yearly and monsoonal variations of long-term rainfall (30 years) data were studied. From the time series plot and trend analysis of mean yearly variations, Kangar provides negative significant trend indicates that Kangar will be drier. The climate extreme indices analysis shows that during southwest monsoon season, Kangar becomes drier year by year. Meanwhile, Simpang Ampat are getting wetter in northeast monsoon season. Other stations show insignificant trend of climate extreme indices. The overall studies of rainfall erosivity using Modified Fournier index show that the study area is under the moderate and low impact of rainfall erosivity. The study on erosion level using rainfall erosivity and soil erodibility at 8R mat system construction site shows that the area is under High Level 4 (HL4) level of erosion induced landslide. Finally, it is found that no significant correlations between rainfall intensity and horizontal movement of the 8R mat system. The usage of crusher run as the filling material and the construction of drain helps to prevent water from affecting the stability of this system.
