Lineage:
Lineage statement:
AREA:  Lower part of Mekong Kratie to Vietnam Delta inlcuding Tonle Sap River
				
				SOURCE DATA SET :
				Cambodia: MIKE11 Hydro-dynamic model 2000
				Vietnam: VRSAP Hydo-dynamic model 2000, Field surveys 2000
				
				SOURCE AGENCY :  SIWRP Vietnam
				
				GENERATION : See NGIS report "Improvement of MRCS Regional Flood maps, 2003"
				
				STATUS :
				Last update: May 2003
				Completion status: 100 %
				
				COMMENTS:
Cambodia and Vietnam  -   Derived from the max water levels derived for the year 2000 flood simulation by the hydraulic model;
				Vietnam:  The depth of the flooding has been derived by subtracting the terrain level from the  generated node water levels. The DEM used was dtm_lm_vn for the other Cambodia and Vietnam parts. It was found that by ignoring all inundation with a depth  0.3m or less gave the best correlation with the radarsat. There is no topographic information in the SE part of the Tonle Sap lake or upstream of Kratie. In these parts it was not possible to generate the flood extent from the model. In these part the maximium flood extent from the three 2000 radarsat images has been used;
				In the southern part of the Vietnam flood area towards the coast it is difficult to differentiate between ‘real flooding’ and temporary inundation from ‘rainfall’ or ‘tidal flooding’.  A fairly well defined boundary to the flood extent has been defined from surveys by the Vietnamese counterpart office combined with Radarsat images. Areas of inundation from the model outside this previously defined flood extent have been clipped and considered as not flooded;
				Cambodia: The area around Phnom Penh is protected by flood dykes so the output of the model for this part has been corrected by clipping.
				
				FORMAT:
				Grid 100m resolution
				FIELD ATTRIBUTES
				Value = depth of inundation in metres
				
				UPDATES AND CHANGES : 
				April-2003 - A new dem (FLD-DEM100) replaced the previous dem (DTM-LM-VN) in generating this depth map;
				May2003 - The VRSAP model in Cambodia has been replaced by the MIKE11 model.
