Inundation risk analysis of the storm surge and flood in the coastal area of the Ariake Sea using GIS and 2–D flooding Simulation

Arthur Harris Thambas, Koichiro Ohgushi

Abstract :

<p>Inundations in the coastal area occur due to not only storm surge but also flood. If the storm surge and flood occur at the same time, causes significant inundation in the coastal communities and results into huge water disaster. In this study, 2&ndash;D numerical simulation of flooding and GIS are utilized to consider the inundation risk of these disasters in the coastal area of the Ariake Sea. Inundation risk in this area is high risk, buildings or houses and public facilities be affected.</p>
