What is it about?
Climate change has altered precipitation patterns, resulting in a higher recurrence of water-related disasters. The computation of CCF value, on the other hand, is dependent on several factors that will determine the degree of flood hazards in the Kelantan River basin.

Why is it important?
The estimated CCF values demonstrate a contrast, whereby each station had a CCF value greater than one for CGCM1, while some stations had a CCF value of less than one for CCSM3. Therefore, CGCM1 projected an aggravation and CCSM3 a reduction of flood hazard for future scenarios. The study reveals that topography plays an essential role in calculating the CCF.

I hope this article is useful to politicians or researcher concerned about climate change.
