Impact of Sea Level Rise and Flooding on Environmental Bio-geophysical conditions and Socio-Economic Community

Sea level rise will generally result in impacts as follows: (a) increased frequency and intensity of flooding, (b) changes in ocean currents and the widespread destruction of mangroves, (c) expansion of sea water intrusion, (d) a threat to society's socioeconomic coast, and (e) decrease in land area or the loss of small islands.

The increased frequency and intensity of floods caused by the random occurrence of rainfall patterns and a short rainy season while the very high rainfall (extreme events). Another possibility is a result of backwater effects from coastal area to land. The frequency and intensity of flooding is predicted occurs 9 times greater in the next decade in which the 80% increase in flooding occurred in South and Southeast Asia (including Indonesia) with an area of the floodwaters reached 2 million square miles. Increasing the volume of water in coastal areas will provide the cumulative effect if the sea level rise and increased frequency and intensity of rainfall occurred in the same period.
