The design event method uses a single simulation in order to represent an extreme event. The study presents a probabilistic method to derive flood inundation maps in an area where rainfall is the predominant cause of flooding. The case study area is the Jakarta Basin, Indonesia. It typically experiences high-intensity and short-duration storms with high spatial variability. The flood hazard estimation framework is a combination of a Monte Carlo (MC)-based simulation and a simplified stochastic storm generator. Several thousands of generated extreme events are run in the Sobek rainfall-runoff and 1D-2D model. A frequency analysis is then conducted at each location in the flood plain in order to derive flood maps. The result shows that in general, design events overestimate the flood maps in comparison with the proposed MC approach. The MC approach takes into account spatial variability of the rainfall. However, this means that there is a need to have a high number of MC-generated events in order to better estimate the extreme quantiles. As a consequence, the MC approach needs much more computational resources and it is time-consuming if a full hydrodynamic model is used. Hence, a simplified flood model may be required to reduce the simulation time.}, language = {en} }
