Effect of tide on flood modelling and mapping in Kota Tinggi

This study aimed at mapping the Kota Tinggi flood in 2006/07 that had caused massive damages to properties and the environment. The flood was associated with unusually high intensity and continuous rainfall. Therefore, a reliable technique of floodplain mapping is crucial for the improvement of floo...
