At the coast, the highest water levels resulted when the landfall was directly over the study area. When the landfall was 50 km south the high water levels remained for the longest time and highest levels occurred upstream. Also, high water levels were sustained longer when the TC had a slow translational speed (∼2 m/s) relative to fast-moving storms (∼4 m/s). Negative water levels resulted for events making landfall north of the study area, which may increase flushing of the river discharge and mitigate flooding from river overflown. The implications of the different scenarios are discussed in relation to management and implementation of contingency plans. © 2014, © 2014 International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research.
