Abstract
Inundation is the submergence of standing crops, settlements and natural vegetation over a long period of time, which not only affects human activities but also damages property and lives. Inundation occurs adjacent to the flow-paths of natural water bodies for several reasons. The first reason is the high intensity rainfall in the gentle country slope area, where normal sheet flow cannot drain the standing water depth quickly enough. The second reason is the congestion or obstruction of natural flowpath due to human activities. © 2009 Springer Netherlands.
