Abstract

The objectives of this research were to create a topographic model using Mathematica and hydrologic model using ArcGIS for water management aimed at preventing forest fires in the Khuan Kreng peat swamp forest. Pan basin area in Kreng Sub-district, characterized by low mountains, where the Cha-Uat canal intersects the krajood forest, was revealed by the hydrographic model. Kreng Sub-district was traversed by three main streams: Khuan canal, Hua Pluak Chang canal, and Laem canal. Additionally, several tributary canals that interconnect, ultimately converging into the Cha-Uat Phraek Muang canal were identified. During the dry period, the water from these canals flowed into the Cha-Uat Phraek Muang canal. To mitigate the risk of fires, it was essential to install water table measuring devices and underground barrier gates at the drain points. This ensured the return of water from the Cha-Uat Phraek Muang canal to the Khuan Kreng peat swamp forest. Maintaining sufficient water table level was crucial, as the occurrence of fires was more likely when the water table dropped below the soil surface. When the swamp forest was adequately hydrated, wildfires were confined to a narrow area since they could only burn on the forest surface, which was easier to extinguish.

Abstract

Floods and droughts are contrasting natural phenomena. The risk of forest fires tends to be increased by the dry and hot conditions of the dry season. A topographic and flow direction model is aimed to be created using Mathematica and ArcGIS programs. The purpose of this model is to assist in water management to prevent forest fires in the Khuan Kreng peat swamp forest located in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Southern Thailand. Digital elevation models obtained from the Department of Land Development, representing altitude data of the terrain at a scale of 1:4,000, are utilized in this work. Using cellular automata principles with eight sub-cell flow pathways with a precision of 5×5 meters, identification was carried out. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system can store horizontal (X, Y) and vertical (Z) data in one cell, providing information about 2D and 3D topography. Our findings regarding flow direction are comparable to reference values for summer under dry conditions, where water mass is limited. The topographic model data was found to be compatible with data obtained from ArcGIS, Google Maps, and surveys. The ArcGIS flow modeling results are found to be suitable for flood simulation. The proposed method is applicable for regulating water use during droughts and preventing forest fires.
