Flooding is categorized as a natural disaster that occurs due to various climatic and geophysical factors. Malaysia is a lucky country as it experiences a tropical climate and generally protected from extreme drought. However, the states located along the east coast of the Peninsular Malaysia such as Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang always experienced a heavy flood, especially during the monsoon season due to high intensity of rainfall. The objectives of this paper were to simulate Flood Hydrographs for Various Storm Duration by using Hydrologic Engineering Centre-Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS), to investigate the location of floodplain at the catchment area of Sg. Kelantan by using River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), to identify the non-structural approach that can reduce the rate of flood based on its topography. By using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS software, the peak discharge from each rainfall stations for different average recurrence interval (ARI) were calculated. Various non-strctural measures to reduce the impacts of flood are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
