Flooding of Urban Drainage Systems: Risk Analysis Study
Abstract: Floods are considered as to be among the most severe natural disasters because of their unpredictability, their overwhelming power and the difficulty to assess the related risks. Consequently, flooding damage is inevitable. This paper focuses on the identification of potential flood hazards in urban drainage systems. The flooding causes and modes are analyzed by two main methods: fault tree and event tree. The frequencies of natural events and operational obstacles …

Flood Analysis Using Integrated HEC-RAS and GIS: A Case Study of Nashik city, India
Abstract: The developmental activities in the urban areas are severely affecting the river flow pattern of the rivers; especially the rivers which pass through the urban habitation are causing heavy floods. The effect of encroachment in the city limits due to urbanization reduces the flow path of rivers causing flooding in adjacent areas. The available data indicates that causalities due to increased frequency of occurrence of flood have increased from 1000 …

Floodplain Inundation Modeling and Mapping for Geray River: Nile Basin, Ethiopia
Abstract: Flood is among the most devastating natural hazards in the world claiming lives and properties more than any other natural phenomena. During high flow, the Geray River flooded the vicinity of the area and causes loss of cultivated land and life. The objective of this study describes the flood extent and depth in the Geray River for different flow conditions. This research involves the integration of HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and GIS …

Assessing Flow Pattern of Sabarmati River Portion at Hirpura Barrage Site Gujarat, India Using HEC-RAS Hydrodynamic Models and Physical Models
Abstract: A barrage is proposed to be constructed across river Sabarmati, 60 km downstream of Daroi dam to create reservoir within the bank for recharging and meeting water demand of nearby areas. For analyzing the flow pattern and assessing the hydraulic parameters of Hipura barrage on Sabarmati river near Hirpura village of Mehsana District of Gujarat, a 3D physical model with geometrically similar scale 1:80 for river reach 3 km (1 …
