| description | Flood is associated with the climatic change where the climate variable has detrimental impact on
hydrologic cycle. Johor is among the affected states by flood catastrophe for almost every year. Over the year, Johor
has experienced increasing amount of rainfall. However, studies on future rainfall pattern in Johor are still quite
limited. Thus, this study was carried out to identify climate change impacts by projecting rainfall data using Statistical
Downscaling Model (SDSM) and predicting flood events utilizing the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI).
Through SDSM, the rainfall data was projected in corresponding with General Circulation Models (GCM) predictor
under three different representative concentration pathway (RCP) of RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 that consider
different emission level in future. Future observation in the upcoming 30 years for both studied stations at Kota
Tinggi, Johor recorded increasing trend in the projected mean annual rainfall under three scenarios where the highest
change in projection was +12.2% under RCP8.5 at Ladang Telok Sengat station. From SPI analysis, it is predicted
that there will be frequent occurrence of flooding in the upcoming 30 years due to more positive SPI values (> 1)
indicated by the studied stations. From the study, the authorities can come up with better mitigation plan to supervise
the flood event in the future. |
