Impact of Sea-Level Rise on a Coastal Catchment of Brunei Darussalam
This study presents an impact assessment of climate change in the Brunei River catchment that leads to the occurrences of tidal flood from sea-level rise. Brunei Darussalam is a small country located along the coast of Borneo Island on the South China Sea. Case studies of several countries for flood hazard are taken into consideration to understand flood simulation models and predictions of future flooding event after calibration and validation. The impact of tidal flood for Brunei River catchment is predicted using HEC-RAS software. A 2D flood model of Brunei River catchment is formulated to simulate the sea-level rise due to tidal flood in the year 2050 and 2100 by using a Rapid Ice Melt (RIM) and IPCC-AR5 projections. Simulations show that most populated inland flood plains of the country may become susceptible to tidal floods by 2100. However, the results of tidal flood maps are highly dependable on the accuracy of the digital elevation model as well as the predictions. This model considers only the internal tidal inundation and not the inundations in the coastal areas.
