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 …

Trends Analysis of Temperature and Rainfall over Nguru, a Floodplain of Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria
Abstract: Abstract:This paper present the trends of meteorological parameters over Nguru, floodplain of Hadejia- Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria, with the aim of revealing increasing or decreasing trend within a 40 years monthly time series data of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, average temperature and rainfall. A non-parametric Mann-Kendall trend test and Sen’s slope estimate was used to analyse trends exhibited by the variables. The results reveal annual increasing (upward) trends of temperatures (minimum, …

Flood Frequency Analysis of Big Akaki River, Awash Basin, Ethiopia
Abstract: Flood is one of the most dangerous naturally occurring catastrophic hazards now days displacing and killing people and destroying properties. During high flow, the Big Akaki River flooded the vicinity of the area and causes loss of cultivated land and life. Flood water inundates the floodplain areas and cause vast damages to life and property. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the inundation area along the Big …

Strategies for Flood Mitigation
Abstract: The world has always experienced change. Water-too much or too little is the most common cause of migration and a city's downfall. The notable and significant distinction right now is that we are seeing it in real-time for the first time in human history. We contributed to the dangers that were produced, and we contributed to the remedies that will influence the pace and scope of change and disruption. We …

Preference assessment of energy and momentum equations over 2D-SKM method in compound channels
Abstract: Gradually varied flow in channels could be assessed and investigated from both the energy and momentum equations standpoints. Depending on what method is implemented, the computational results could be different. Currently, there is an ambiguity on the preference of utilizing the energy and momentum equations standpoints. This study attempts to respond to this ambiguity and the question that among these pair viewpoints which one would provide a closer solution to …

Impacts of Climate Change on the Livelihoods of The People in Tanguar Haor, Bangladesh
Abstract: Bangladesh is widely recognized as one of the most vulnerable countries in the world due to climate change. Previous studies reveal that Surma-Kushiyara rivers system known as Haor basin is projected to be under additional stress due to changes in temperature and rainfall pattern. Tanguar Haor, which is located in the north-eastern region of Bangladesh, is characterized by large round shaped floodplain depressions and marshy lands. This paper attempts to …

Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …
