Understanding Pontianak’s Flood Dynamics through Modeling and Simulation

Behind the vibrant growth of Pontianak, which is known as the “City of a Thousand Coffee Shops and the City of a Thousand Canal," there lies major challenge, such as shrinking water catchment areas due to rapid urban development. Researchers carried out a flood-risk modelling and simulation, factoring in rainfall, tidal movements, river discharge, and soil types. What did they find? Discover the answer in this video, through eye-opening data and simulations.
