SRUTHY A P, SUCHITH CHELLAPPAN*, CHINGAKHAM.C

Abstract

Flood forecasting forms a key component in flood warning systems and reducing vulnerabilities and flood risk. The application of remote sensing and GIS for predicting the chance of flood occurrence will help to take systematic strategy to implement fruitful flood management works. Thereby we can reduce the intensity of flood impact in a proper and planned way and environmental and social sustainability can be maintained. Hydrologic and hydraulic modelling of events is becoming eminent with the increase in magnitude and frequency of extreme hydrological events in the recent past. Flood mapping of river for a storm became important for hydrologic design and planning. In the present study, explains a framework for a rainfall–runoff model (HEC-HMS) using GIS. The goal of the present study is to simulate rainfall-runoff process through hydrological model of HEC-HMS in watershed and the study utilizes HEC-HMS for finding the flow from a basin due to a particular rainfall converting rainfall to runoff (Hydrologic Modelling) using SCS run off Curve number method. The CN is a method for determining storm runoff over an area based on land use, soil and land cover type, and hydrologic soil group. Soil groups are determined based on type and infiltrability of a soil. In the present study, HEC-HMS models were used for hydrological for Pamba river basin, India. Basin characteristics were extracted using QGIS tools and HEC-HMS model was used to simulate discharge values at outlet of all sub-watersheds. Preliminary results for the hydrological model are done such as watershed delineation and parameters.
