1. WHAT IS MSMAware? MSMAware is a software designed specifically for MSMA- the urban drainage design guideline for Malaysia. MSMA is an acronym for “Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia” or the “Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia” published by the Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia (JPS) or the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia. MSMAware is an online software designed to comply with the requirements of MSMA by allowing the users to: a. Compute the design storm Intensity-Frequency-Duration (IFD) curves for any locations in Malaysia by following the requirements of the Second Edition of MSMA (2011), HP1 (2021) for West Malaysia and HP26 (2018) for East Malaysia. b. Compute the peak discharges via the Rational Method and the discharge hydrographs via the Time-Area Method for any locations in Malaysia. c. Design the On-Site Detention (OSD) and Detention Basins or Ponds for any locations in Malaysia. Watch the introductory video to MSMAware at: http://welcomeVideo.msmaware.com. 2. WHAT ARE THE MODULES IN MSMAware? MSMAware consists of the following 6 modules: a. Design Storm, b. Rational Method, c. Time-Area Method, d. On-Site Detention, e. Detention Basin, and f. Culvert Design The Storm Module computes and plot the design storm IDF curves for any locations in Malaysia based on 3 different design storm guidelines as follows: a. Second Edition of MSMA (2011)- which covers 135 storm stations in West Malaysia. b. HP1 (2021) for West Malaysia- which covers 180 storm stations in West Malaysia, plus averaged storm on 10 and 20 km grids. c. HP26 (2018) for East Malaysia- which covers 174 stations in East Malaysia, plus averaged storm on 10 and 20 km grids. The Storm Module considers the Temporal Patterns, ARF (Areal Reduction Factor), CCF (Climate Change Factor) based on the 3 different design storm guidelines above. Watch video: http://StormVideo.msmaware.com. The Rational Method Module computes the peak discharges based on MSMA (2011). Watch video: http://RationalMethodVideo.msmaware.com. The Time-Area Method Module computes the discharge hydrographs using the convolution procedure based on the Isochrone areas automatically. Watch video: http://TimeAreaMethodVideo.msmaware.com. The Storage Module can design detention storages including On-Site Detention (OSD) and Detention Basin. Watch video: http://OnSiteDetentionVideo.msmaware.com. 3. BENEFITS OF MSMAware: With the click of a mouse, you can generate reports in PDF or Docx formats for editing. The software is very easy and intuitive to use. You can refer to the Youtube videos if you need help. The subscription to the software is affordable and is payable yearly. For details of subscription, please visit: http://subscription.msmaware.com. Below are some additional benefits of MSMAware: a. MSMAware is an online software– there is no need to install the software on your PC. b. It complies with MSMA2, HP1 & 26 requirements. c. It can compute design storms for 500 rainfall stations in Malaysia plotted on Google Map. d. It can design OSD & Detention Basins quickly and easily. e. It is very easy & intuitive software to use. f. It has lots of online videos & documentations if you need help. g. It has immediate 365 days x 24 hours support via WhatsApp. h. It can generate comprehensive report ready for submission. i. It has a free version available for use. 4. DEVELOPER OF MSMAware: Ir. Dr. Quek Keng Hong is the Chief Developer of MSMAware. If you use MSMA, you probably heard about Dr. Quek. A well known expert on MSMA who has developed numerous applications widely used by engineers around the country. Dr. Quek received all his three degrees from the University of NSW, Australia– a university renowned for its research work in the field of hydrology. A consulting engineer by practice, he has nearly three decades of experience in urban drainage design and has involved in many major infrastructural projects around the country. An outstanding leader in his field who, despite his busy schedule, still finds time to conduct regular workshops and seminars on MSMA. 5.
