Description :
The AA. investigated geomorphological features on the central plain of Thailand utilizing satellite remote sensing data and made geomorphological land classification map showing flood-stricken area. This map is useful for planning of flood control works. The AA. classified land form units in the central plain of Thailand as following; delta, tidal flat, lagoon, mud spit, back marsh, natural levee, fan and former river course and so on. After that they transfer geomorphological land classification map to make zoning map of flood risk for the purpose of evaluating the flood damages.
