Abstract

Flood projection is considered one of the most powerful tools for locating an area in high-risk flood zone especially with the impact of climate change. The digital elevation model (DEM) is an essential input of hydrological modelling to establish flood hazard projections. The accuracy of river flow calculations directly depends on the scale and accuracy of topographic maps. One of the purposes of this study is to develop the flood hazard projection under climate change in Kelantan River Basin by using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and hydrologic-hydrodynamic models with available data. Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia was selected due to its repetitive flood events. In the future, Pasir Puteh, Bachok and Kota Bharu may be subjected to greater flooding hazards.
