The Impact

Over the years, flood is one of the natural hazards which occur all over the world and it is critical to be controlled through proper management. Flood in Kelantan is mainly caused by heavy rainfall brought by the Northeast monsoon starting from November to March every year. It is categorized as annual flood as it occurs every year during the Monsoon season. Severe flood events in Kelantan, Malaysia cause damage to both life and property every year and understanding landscape structure changes is very important for planners and decision makers for future land use planning and management. This research aims to quantify the landscape structure near to Kelantan River basin during the flood event using integrated approach of remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS) technique and landscape ecological approach. As a result, this study provide new knowledge on landscape structure that contributes to understand the impact of flood events and provide the best ways to mitigate flooding for helping to protect biodiversity habitat and dwellers. As conclusions, this kind of study will give more benefits to various stakeholders such as Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Department of Environment, state government, fisherman and communities.

Backwater Effect

During the first week of July 2018, widespread flooding caused extensive damage across several river basins in western Japan. Among the affected basins were the Mabicho district of Kurashiki city in the lower part of the Oda river basin of the Okayama prefecture. An analysis of such a historical flood event can provide useful input for proper water resources management. Therefore, to improve our understanding of the flood inundation profile over the Oda river basin during the period of intense rainfall from 5–8 July 2018, the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model was used, with radar rainfall data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) as the input. River geometries—width, depth, and embankments—of the Oda river were generated and applied in the simulation. Our results show that the Mabicho district flooding was due to a backwater effect and bursting embankments along the Oda River. The model setup was then redesigned, taking into account these factors. The simulated maximum flood-affected areas were then compared with data from the Japanese Geospatial Information Authority (GSI), which showed that the maximum flood inundation areas estimated by the RRI model and the GSI flood-affected area matched closely. River geometries were extracted from a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM), combined with coarser resolution DEM data (global data), and then utilized to perform a hydrological simulation of the Oda river basin under the scenarios of backwater effect and embankment failure. While this approach produced a successful outcome in this study, this is a case study for a single river basin in Japan. However, the fact that these results yielded valid information on the extent of flood inundation over the flood-affected area suggests that such an approach could be applicable to any river basin.

Since 2000s, most of West-African countries and particularly Benin have experienced an increased frequency of extreme flood events. In this study we focus on the case of the Ouémé-river basin in Benin for the period 2008-2010. To investigate on how to early warn flood events in this basin, the coupled atmosphere-hydrology model system WRF-Hydro is selected. Such a coupled model allows to explore the contribution of atmospheric components into the flood event, and its ability to simulate and predict accurate streamflow. The potential of WRF-Hydro in correctly simulating streamflow in the Ouémé-river basin is assessed by forcing the model with operational analysis datasets from the ECMWF. Atmospheric and land surface processes are resolved at a spatial resolution of 5km. The additional surface and subsurface water flow routing is computed at a resolution 1:10. Key parameters of the hydrological module of WRF-Hydro are calibrated offline, and tested online with the coupled WRF-Hydro. The uncertainty of atmospheric modeling on coupled results is assessed with the stochastic kinetic-energy backscatter scheme (SKEBS). WRF-Hydro is able to simulate the discharge in Ouémé river on offline and fully-coupled modes with a Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) around 0.70 and 076 respectively. In fully-coupled mode the model captures the flood event that occurred in 2010. A stochastic perturbation ensemble of 10 members for three rain seasons shows that the coupled model performance in terms of KGE is from 0.14 to 0.79. This ability in realistically reproducing observed discharge in the Ouémé-river basin demonstrates the potential of the coupled WRF-Hydro modeling system for future flood forecasting applications.
