Climatic variability, unplanned land use pattern and encroachment into the flood plain are affecting the hydrology of Bagmati river basin of Nepal. In this study, methodology to improve present flood management system with non-structural countermeasures has been elaborated. Study of hydrological condition, basin scale rainfall runoff modeling and inundation analysis is helpful to prepare commun...

Bridges are crucial for transporting people and goods, but their failures can be catastrophic, resulting in loss of life property. This study assessed the flood stage selected bridges (Alaafin Avenue, Seven-Up, Oluyole) along Ona River, Ibadan, Nigeria, using a one-dimensional model called Hydraulic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). The requires two major input data: geometric...

Floods frequently threaten villages near the Khazir River’s floodplains, causing crop losses and threatening residential areas. We used flood-related hydrological software, including WMS HEC-HMS, to study this issue determine how reduce recurrence of flooding. The software can be calculate a hydrograph torrential flows in river drainage basin estimate volume water its flow rates on Earth’s surf...

Rivers are important water resources for human life, but sometimes cause irreparable damages. The flood plains are fertile terrains which are endangered by flood. Flood hazard mapping is one of the basic methods in flood fighting. In order to decline flood damages, the simulation of the hydraulic behavior of the rivers during flood occurrence is very important. In this study, areas that are flo...

Development of rural areas in rivers margins and flood plains, without understanding and attention to the dynamical and hydrological conditions and upstream areas of the rivers will cause to increase flood risk and loss of life and financial. Flood zoning has many applications, in floodplain management. For management of the three major branches of the Halilrood River, Rabor, Roodar and Javaran...

Flood is considered as a major threat among natural disasters in the world. This case becomes more important and has a higher risk in urban areas due to the existence of important uses. Therefore, to reduce damages resulted from flood, this phenomenon must be managed and planned using structural and non-structural approaches. Considering the development in Iran has been carried out in high risk...
