Abstract

Tamilnadu is a place where monsoon is uneven and fails most of the times. Cuddalore is one of the worst affected districts in Tamilnadu. Each and every year flood is a major calamity in Cuddalore which costs hundreds of lives and lakhs of property damage. Therefore to mitigate these problems a proper measure is required. But for suggesting a proper measure there must be mapping to reveal the places which are affected frequently. This project uses ArcGIS for the purpose of stream generation and flood basin delineation and HEC-HMS for rainfall analysis and discharge calculation using various topographical feature including soil type, slope and built up areas. HEC-RAS is used for flood mapping i.e., simulation of the discharge by rainfall which is generated from HEC-HMS.
