Executive Summary : | Scientific study of flood prone areas will help to reduce vulnerability form such hazards and also enhance the disaster management capacity of various disaster management agencies of this region. Expected deliverables of proposed research will be: Use of Indian and other remote sensing satellite data as well as ground data for flood studies, flood hydrographs generation for extreme events using hydrological modelling, flood inundation mapping for extreme flood events using hydrodynamic modelling, historical flood events inundation mapping using remote sensing data, identification of probabilistic flood-prone area, flood risk assessment using integrated approach of hydrological modelling and geospatial technique. |
