  Flood is one of the most frequent natural disasters in the world, which make a significant impact all around the world on a regular basis, as a result of increased urbanization and extreme climate change. Because of climate change, unplanned rapid urbanization, changes in land use patterns, and inadequate watershed management, flooding events are expected to become more frequent and devastating in the future. The problems of flood are continuously gaining global attention with substantial efforts are being made to create effective flood control and monitoring solutions. The preparation of flood hazard and floodplain models and maps is of the main concern researcher’s and prior area of government’s policy in phase in the disaster management and mitigation. As a result, more studies and methods of flood monitoring and mapping are being developed to mitigate the devastating e.. View more»
