This research was taken place along the lower Mekong river reach part in Cambodia. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the HEC-RAS performance whether it eligible for Cambodia flood studies or not.

• Results of inundated area were
evaluated by fit values: F1 and
F2 (V. Moya Quiroga et al.,
2016)
- A is the total flooded area that predicted
correctly by model
- B is the total area that over predicted
by the model
- C is the total area that is under predict
by the model
• Water Level was evaluated by
index error (Moriasi et al.,2007)

Summary Results
Water level Flood extent
From 2000 until 2013, the affect area
ranged from 1,400 to 8,000 hectares
(excluding river area 4600 ha), while water
level fluctuated from year to year.

10-years return period flood map
The inundated area was about 8000 hectares and flood depth range
from 0.05 mm to 11 m (at the bottom of river). The 10-years return
period inundation map is really important for planning, development
project, and industries.

Conclusions
• Based on results of model evaluation, HEC-RAS model is capable
flood studies for Mekong river and produce flood map
• The affected area for the both sides of river was ranged from 1,400 to
8,000 hectares while flood depth varied from year to year.
Recommendations
• High resolution of DEM is recommended
• At place water level and more surveying cross-sections are needed
• The study should account with islands along the river
• HEC-HMS or SWAT should be used to simulate surface runoff
• HEC-RAS version 5.1 is recommended for future study

Good afternoon professors, lecturer and everyone here. Thank for coming.
My name Kim Lengthong
Present my research thesis on the topic Flood studies at Lower Mekong river Cambodia under supervived Dr. Ly Sarann
Now we move to 10-year return period flood map. It’s is the map that expressed the greatest flood that occurred in this location. Based on above map, we could get the affected area along the river was around 8000 hectares while the flood depth was ranged from 0.05 mm to 11 meters. These result would be useful for development project, planning, and also investment since they know the maximum flood so they can take the affected into their decision making for their project.
