Water surge risk mapping using GIS-based spatial multi-criteria decision analysis approach by Syarifuddin, Misbari, Siti Sarah, Abd Razak, Muhammad Fuad Fahmi, Jaafar, Nadiatul Adilah, Ahmad Abdul Ghani, Mohd Faizal, Jamlos

“…A water surge risk map is developed by not only visualizing water surge factors but also weighting each relevant contributing factor, such as terrain elevation, land use type, and rainfall. The finding of the study suggests that Sg. Pandan Waterfall area falls into medium-risk water surge zones due to combination of three main factors including terrain elevation, land use or rainfall pattern. …”
