Flooding due to SLR was estimated using a digital elevation model (DEM) created from digitized topographic maps coupled with SRTM data and GPS observations. SLR scenarios of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 m were applied. A modified bathtub inundation model was used to produce the flooded areas for each SLR scenario. After identifying the mechanism of flooding, vulnerable areas and the locations of the adaptation measures were detected ER -
