Flood damage assessment in agricultural area in Selangor river basin

Flooding is the major natural hazard that occurs in Malaysia. Flooding causes loss of lives, injuries, property damage and leave economic damage to the country, especially when it occurs in an agricultural area. There is still a lack of information available on floodplain especially on the impact of...
