Abstract

The Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) can model flood events and produce water surface profiles over the length of the modeled stream. Flood Inundation Modelling is important for engineers, planners, and government agencies used for municipal and urban growth planning, emergency action plans, flood insurance rates, and ecological studies. This paper describes the application of the HEC-RAS model for the development of floodplain maps for the part of Tungabhadra River, Haralahalli discharge site that lies in Haveri district of Karnataka. Since most of the flood plain area/area vulnerable to flooding is currently used for agriculture. By understanding the extent of flooding and floodwater inundation, we can decide how to best allocate resources to prepare for emergencies. Keywords: Flood; Inundation; HEC-RAS Modelling
