Evaluation of alternative approach for missing rainfall data filling in Kuantan river basin

Water authority has been dealing with missing precipitation data of Kuantan River Basin (KRB) for decades and with recent flash flood events in the state of Pahang has highlighted the importance of climate data in flood prediction to reduce the severity of flood damage in future. However, climate da...
