Assessment of generated spatial information using UAV sensor for flood risk mapping / Nazirah Md. Tarmizi

Floods are among the most common and destructive natural hazards causing extensive damage to infrastructure, public and private services, the environment, the economy and devastation to human settlements. Flood could also be defined as the overflow of areas that are normally submerged with water or...

The Fourth Assessment Report (2007) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that heavy precipitation events, which are very likely to increase in frequency, will augment flood risk.
