description One of the biggest environmental challenges that face Malaysia today is the scarcity of water. The increased need of water resources caused by population growth and rapid industrialization has created the need to manage water resources more efficiently and effectively. Many methods are developed to increase the source of water supply; one alternative source is rainwater harvesting. Rainfall harvesting from catchments has not received large attention in Malaysia. This method is one of the proactive action can be taken to avoid shortage of water resources in the future. The analysis results showed the maximum and minimum flow rate according to return year obtained using Fuzzy membership functions establishment. Retention times obtained from MATLAB are 7.27 days. Using a Rational method, the relationship between flow rate and intensity is created. The relationship yields an equation that is y = 0.0000317x and R2 = 0.9855. Then, the relationship between coefficient and intensity yields an equation that is y = -0.0031 x + 1.317 and R2 = 0.9238. All assumptions and calculations in this study are based on studies undertaken. In general, the findings can be summarized as good based on the results obtained.
