Coastal Reservoir is a technology that develops river water in the sea near a river mouth. It is a paradigm shift in water resources development from storing water in mountainous dams to storing freshwater by the coast.
The mountainous dams in upstream become “sword of Damocles” to downstream people. CR technology can act as barrier to protect coast from earthquake. CR also can be developed into freshwater agriculture farm, energy and tourism. CR has potential to transform neglected and polluted coastal area into a sustainable freshwater township.
Malaysia is a tropical Southeast Asian country with a steady annual rainfall and river flow pattern. The enormous river networks provide enough supply to build a coastal reservoir
According to this research, embankment design and reservoir operation must account for climate change implications such as rising groundwater level, changing streamflow discharge during intense and extended droughts, floods, and water quality issues.
