Flood Analysis and Mapping for Mandovi River Basin

Flood has been considered as one of the most recurring and frequent disaster in the world. Due to recurrent prevalence, the economic loss and life damage caused by the flood has put more burdens on economy than any other natural disaster. Even a state like Goa suffers from flooding due to excessive rainfall and rise in river levels. Hence, flood management and mitigation are very important to avoid heavy loss of human life and properties. Creating a flood model and predicting its behavior is a helpful step in protecting nearby areas. An experimental model is created using HEC-RAS and other allied software such as arc map, and the output is represented with the help of RAS- mapper for better understanding.
