INTRODUCTION

 Floods are the most frequent natural disasters around the

globe. With climate change, fl oods become more and more
frequent.

 Given Malaysia's geographical location, most fl oods that

occur are a natural result of cyclical  monsoons during the
local tropical wet season that are characterized by heavy
and regular rainfall from roughly October to March.
AIM & OBJECTIVE

Aim: To identify an inundated area using Normalized

Diff erence Water Index (NDWI) at Kulim Kedah on Sentinel 2
data.

Objectives:

i. To characterize the inundated area using NDWI

parameter from Sentinel data on Kulim, Kedah

ii. To compare the NDWI value before and af ter fl ood on

study area
