Keywords:
Flood, Inundation, Floodplain Mapping, HEC-RAS, ARC-GISAbstract
As there have been hazardous climatic environments due to climate variation and as a consequence, the intensity of
rainfall has increased tremendously causing floods in India. Floods are the most critical among all the natural
calamities in world causing vast damages to life and property. It is therefore essential to address these natural
calamities by developing integrated approach for the flood modelling and flood mapping for future prevention of
flood and to decrease the influence on societies and life and the surroundings. It is therefore essential to address
these natural calamities by developing integrated approach for the flood modelling and flood mapping for future
prevention of flood and to reduce the impact on people and life and the environment. For hydraulic modelling and
floodplain mapping was integrated to perform flood routing for the computation of flow peak flood. The present
work focus on carrying out a review of “Flood model using Arc-GIS and HEC-RAS”
