    This document discusses flooding, including its causes, effects, and management. It begins with an introduction defining floods and noting they are often the most frequent and deadly natural disasters. Causes include heavy rainfall, ice melts, earthquakes, and human activities like bank erosion or dam breaches. Effects are separated into primary direct impacts from floodwaters, secondary impacts from primary effects, and long-term tertiary impacts. The document outlines flood-prone areas in India and flood management strategies, separating hard engineering approaches like embankments and reservoirs from soft non-structural methods like flood forecasting, zoning, and preparedness. It concludes that while floods are deadly, they can also benefit ecosystems and agriculture.

    Introduction
     Flood is overflow of excess water that submerges land
    and inflow of tide onto land.

     Most frequent and deadliest

    Occurs when the geomorphic


    equilibrium in the river system
    is disturbed because of-
     Intrinsic threshold
     Extrinsic threshold
    Causes of flood

    Natural
     Heavy rains
     Melting of ice during volcano eruption
     Undersea earthquake
     Marine landslip Meltwater + Volcanic ash & other
    debris
    Man-made LAHAR
     Bank erosion

    Aims of flood management


     Protection of people & property
     Reduction of flood risk
     Monitoring, research, forecasting & warning

    Flood Forecasting
    Indian forecasting network
     Covers major and inter state basins
     166 stations

    Forecasting consists of 4 steps:


    1. Data collection
    2. Data transmission
    3. Data analysis and forecast formulation
    4. Dissemination
    Flood management (Soft
    Engineering)
    Flood Forecasting (contd..)

    3. Data analysis and forecast formulation

     Estimation of total rainfall from hurricane


    Flood management (Soft
    Engineering)
    Flood Forecasting (contd..)
     Recurrence Interval: Frequency with which a particular
    flood height can be expected to return
     Established from past records

     Recurrence interval = no of peaks in list + 1


    ranked position of discharge x
    Flood management
    scope
     Use of remote sensing GIS (Geographic
    Information System)
     Flood forecast (FF) modelling
     Simulation
    Conclusion

    Although flood is the most deadliest disaster still,


    but it has some benefits like:

     Recharges ground water


     Fresh water flood help in maintaining food plain
    ecosystem
     Boost in food production for birds
     Facilitation of weather fish to new habitat
    Water water everywhere but not a drop to
    drink
    That is of course until this lovely ship sinks
