Abstract
Flood inundation mapping by GIS and a hydraulic model (hec ras): a case study of Akarcay Bolvadin subbasin, in Turkey
Highlights
Flood disaster is a natural disaster, which can stated water quantity on streambed upsurges because of storm and/or snow melt and causes towering loss of life and property; but it is impossible to express depending on only meteorological occurrences
In developing countries such as Turkey, hydrological balance is disrupted by factors as rapid growth of settlements and irregular urbanization depending on population increase and industrialization
Study area is evaluated for flood risk by Geographical Information System (GIS) based hydraulic modelling
Summary
Flood disaster is a natural disaster, which can stated water quantity on streambed upsurges because of storm and/or snow melt and causes towering loss of life and property; but it is impossible to express depending on only meteorological occurrences. In developing countries such as Turkey, hydrological balance is disrupted by factors as rapid growth of settlements and irregular urbanization depending on population increase and industrialization. In this respect, consisted by effecting many factors flood disaster is a difficult problem in producing solutions that causes large economical and many life losses. During 2007, a year which saw extensive flooding in China and some 20 countries in Africa, and due to the Asian monsoon, more than 177 million people were affected by flooding, causing more than US$ 20 billion of damages [5]
