This study evaluates Rain-on-Grid (RoG) flood simulations using a reference depth surface constructed with Collocated Co-Kriging (CCoK) and develops an event-based hazard index for the 11 February 2025 event. RoG was driven by bias-corrected GPM IMERG rainfall, several digital elevation models (DEMs), and surface parameters derived from land cover. The CCoK-based reference surface in the Tallo Watershed was generated from field-surveyed flood depths and topographic covariates and outperformed IDW, ordinary kriging, and kriging with external drift, with RMSE = 0.491 m and MAE = 0.379 m (absolute error ≤ 0.5 m for 73.9% of flooded points). The RoG simulation using the enhanced DEM and calibrated Manning and Curve Number parameters achieved the best agreement with CCoK reference (POD of 0.86, RMSE of 0.57 m and MAE of 0.46 m) and reduced unrealistic extreme depths (max depth 6.54 m versus 9.91–21.81 m for the other DEM candidates). The hazard index that combines depth, depth multiplied by velocity, and duration reveals widespread shallow flooding and localized pockets of higher, long-lasting hazard on downstream floodplains. These findings indicate that integrating CCoK and RoG is suitable for model evaluation and event-based hazard mapping in data-scarce basins and can support disaster management and early warning for flood events. ## Keywords - Flood myth - Environmental science - Flooding (psychology) - 100-year flood - Digital elevation model - Watershed - Hydrology (agriculture) - Flood forecasting - Kriging - Flood warning - Hydrological modelling - Hazard - Hazard analysis - Mean squared error - Warning system - Elevation (ballistics) - Meteorology - Flood stage - Return period - Flood mitigation - Index (typography) - Metropolitan area - Natural hazard - Water level - Hydrograph - Early warning system - HEC-HMS --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
