**7. Conclusions**

Flooding, especially in tropical countries that has the hydrometeorological factors that generate huge quantities of precipitable water, is a yearly event that disrupts people's lives. Flood control structures and proper drainage design can help mitigate this but quantification of the surface runoff should be accounted for correctly. Present technologies such as computer models aid us in doing this. Along with the better input data we have nowadays, these models can give us flood hazard information that enable us to quantify the amount of flood water our mitigating measures should accommodate to reduce or even eradicate flooding problems in certain areas. Continuous update of data parameters, nevertheless, should be done to account for rapid changes happening in the environment including climate change. Specifically, affected by climate change is the rainfall variable that designers of flood control and drainage structures should consider. This is to ensure that our mitigating solutions are not just satisfying future capacity requirements but are also climate-proof for better life and continuous progress.
