Machine Learning for Asset-Level Climate Physical Risk

A two-stage machine learning flood prediction model designed to safeguard Kuala Lumpur against extreme weather and climate risks, forecasting both streamflow dynamics and spatial flood inundation at daily 30-metre resolution.

Solution & components

  • Stage 1: Random Forest streamflow forecasting (R² ≈ 0.75, 10-fold CV)
  • Stage 2: XGBoost flood inundation classifier (Recall 0.85, F1 0.69)
  • Multi-source remote sensing inputs: ERA5, satellite land cover, topography
  • High-resolution flood frequency maps and inundation risk zones

Outcomes

  • Operational flood risk prediction for hotspots across Kuala Lumpur
  • High spatial and temporal accuracy in identifying flood-prone zones
  • Actionable flood frequency maps for planning and zoning
  • Evidence-based recommendations on sponge city & SUDS solutions

HydroRise Sentinel System

An AI-powered decision intelligence platform automating Natural Rate of Rise (NRR) analysis and optimising Non-Revenue Water (NRW) management across selected DMZs in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

Solution & components

  • DMZ-level ML models: R² > 0.94 for flow prediction across 9 DMZs
  • Automated Minimum Night Flow (MNF) analysis with model-based imputation
  • NRR computation engine correlating leak repairs with MNF
  • Geocoded work-order assignment and decision-support dashboard

Outcomes

  • Automated NRR estimation across selected DMZs
  • Identified and corrected 22% of misassigned work orders
  • Enhanced accuracy and speed in NRW diagnostics
  • Operational readiness for API integration and white-labelling

MSIG Vol 1: Planning Principles & Tools

A national planning framework to guide sustainable, efficient and climate-aligned development of Malaysia's sewerage sector — a technical and policy reference for utilities, regulators, planners and developers.

Solution & components

  • Planning principles, technical standards and sustainability metrics
  • Revised sewage generation and peak flow factors
  • Whole-life cycle cost and carbon footprint tools
  • Risk-based planning with impact-vulnerability matrix

Outcomes

  • Enhanced consistency in sewerage planning across Malaysia
  • Improved infrastructure efficiency and environmental compliance
  • Better land use integration and service equity
  • Supports GHG reduction and resource recovery
