a vast population settled near the sea. Therefore flooding due to sea water is
a real threat to human settlements near the sea. This unconventional flood-
ing model need to be simulated and well understood to take precautionary
measures before an actual disaster occurs.

water changes over time during a storm event, and how the flow of water
is impeded
