Flooding can have devastating impacts on people's livelihood,
economy and the environment. An important instrument in flood
management is floodplain maps, which assist land planners and local
authorities in identifying flood-prone areas, and provide useful
information for rescue and relief agencies for their operations.
Developing floodplain maps often involves flood inundation
modeling. This typically requires precipitation and stream flow
data, topographic information, building a hydraulic model and
calibration of its parameters. Often however, floodplain maps are
built on a single model outcome without an explicit consideration
of all the sources of uncertainty in the modeling process. The
research presented in this thesis addresses the uncertainty in
flood inundation modeling, which may arise from input data and
hydraulic modeling approach. The study area is the Sungai Johor
basin in Johor, Malaysia, an agriculture-dominated area. The
present study analyses the modelling uncertainties arising from
estimations of design flow, terrain data sets, geometric
description in hydraulic models and different modeling approaches,
and develops recommendations for practitioners. Explicit account
for uncertainties and studying their impact in flood inundation
mapping allow for more informed and effective decision making.
