Abstract—In the 2011, severe flooding occurred in Chao
Phraya River Basin during monsoon season was the worst
flooding in seventy-two years. The accumulated rainfall from
January to October 2011 was approximately 35% higher than
the average years. The overall damage from the floods
amounted to THB 1.44 trillion, which ranked as the world’s
fourth costliest natural disaster. The iRIC (International River
Interface Cooperative) model has been used to investigate the
Thailand Central Region Flood 2011. Some simulation results
compared with field measured flood depth and satellite data are
presented to demonstrate applicability of the model. Good
performances of simulated results were observed in both flow
fields and flood propagations.
Index Terms—Chao phraya river basin, iRIC, Thailand
