| Abstract | Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is an area of great importance because of its economic development. Every year, during the floods, the Chao Phraya River inundates most of this area which is heavily populated. The Two Dimensional flood plain Model previously developed by LANTI. (1982) was employed for the purpose of flood forecasting of the eastern Bangkok area under the effects of tide and rainfall. The calibration of model was done using the 1983 flood data from 1st September to 30th November. The results of calibration showed that the model can be applied successfully to evaluate the flood water levels of the eastern Bangkok area. Finally, the model is used to determine the effectiveness of flood control schemes. |
