Narrative Description of Project:
Flood Modeling is the simulation of real flood events for prediction of flood water along creeks, floodplains and urban areas and estimation of the areas that can be inundate. It also helps in prediction of flood likelihood. Flood modelling is seen as an integral part of flood management. Models are used for planning and design as well as for forecasting floods so that mitigating measures can be taken in time. Decision support systems based on models are increasingly being used by engineers and scientists in flood management.
This project is a consortium of Doaba Foundation and City Pulse (Pvt.) Ltd. to develop Floodplain modeling of Indus River along district Layyah. It uses a unique approach of community based GIS and a more technical modeling processes to estimate elements at risk at a particular water discharge level. Pages ahead give details of processes involved in this task.
