ABSTRAK
Kajian ini bertujuan
untuk mengenal pasti punca berlakunya banjir di Segamat pada 17 hingga 21
Disember 2006. Kegiatan termasuklah mengumpul, menilai dan mengalisis data
taburan hujan dari Januari 1998 hingga Disember 2006 serta menganalisis data
telemetri harian bagi aras dan luahan air sungai pada Disember 2006. Satu set
data hujan harian, bulanan dan tahunan dari Stesen Felda Medoi, Segamat telah
dianalisis dan dihubungkait dengan data telemetri. Data taburan hujan selama 8
tahun tersebut menunjukkan kawasan Bandar Segamat menerima hujan bulanan yang
berjulat daripada 2.5 mm (Februari 2004) sehingga 536.8 mm (Januari 2003).
Taburan hujan bulanan Oktober sehingga Disember 2006 menunjukkan kenaikan
secara positif, iaitu daripada 118 mm sehingga 435 mm/bulan tetapi berlaku
penurunan (392 mm) pada Januari 2007. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa hujan
lebat yang luar biasa dan keadaan bentuk topografi yang rendah dan beralun di
kawasan kajian adalah penyebab utama banjir di Segamat.

ABSTRACT
This study aimed to
ascertain the causes of Segamat flood which occurred from 17 to 21 December
2006. Actvities include collection, evaluation and analysis of rainfall data
from January 1998 to December 2006, and analysis of daily telemetry for water
levels and discharge in December 2006. The daily, monthly and annual rainfall
of Felda Medoi Station, Segamat were analyzed and correlated with the telemetry
data. Based on the 9 years rainfall data, monthly rainfall in Segamat area
ranged from 2.5 mm (Februari 2004) to 536.8 mm (January 2003). Monthly rainfall
distribution from October to December 2006 increased from 118 mm to 435 mm but
decreased (392 mm) in January 2007. Our result showed that extra ordinary heavy
downpour, low and undulating topography of the study area was identified as the
main cause for the Segamat flood. Keywords: 2006 Segamat flood; Felda Medoi
station; stream flow; telemetry data
