Flood Simulation Models for a River System in a Tropical Region: The Case of Linggi River, Malaysia

Flooding of a river system in a tropical region is predicted using mathematical simulation models in this study. The proposed models were categorized as hydrologic model, hydraulic model and sedimentation model. Two methods of hydrologic models were used to simulate the peak: streamflow in a riv...
