Synopsis

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges the land which is generally dry. It can occur due to various factors such as overflow of water from water bodies, accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an areal flood or when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the river channel. Flood modeling is a process where the effects of floods are simulated using mathematical formulas and equations. Flood forecasting involves the use of forecasted precipitation and streamflow data to forecast flow rates and water levels. It is an important element of flood warning. It makes use of real-time flood forecasting models for early warning and prevention from disaster. Construction of floodways, diversion canals, dams, flood plains, coastal defences and temporary perimeter barriers are a few examples of flood control methods that play a vital role in preventing the damaging effects of flood waters. The book studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of flood modeling and its utmost significance in modern times. It traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
