Abstract

This phase of the project focuses on leveraging ArcGIS software for the comprehensive analysis of the Krishna River basin in Maharashtra, India, with a primary objective of developing effective flood control measures. The study employs a multidimensional approach that involves the collection and analysis of topographical data, historical flood records, and digital elevation models (DEMs). The first objective is to systematically collect and analyze topographical data of the Krishna River basin using ArcGIS. By examining past flood events and understanding the basin's elevation variations, potential flood-prone zones are delineated. This phase sets the foundation for targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of floods in the region. The third objective involves the development of flood inundation maps using ArcGIS. These maps serve as a critical tool for visualizing the extent of flood-prone areas, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the potential impact of flooding. This visual representation is instrumental in making informed decisions about flood control strategies. With a clear understanding of the flood- prone areas, the fourth objective is to propose suitable flood control measures.
