Abstract:
Flood in one of the most catastrophic natural hazards. Flood is a physical phenomenon but it can damage both life and property in an excessive rate. Dwarakeswar river is one of the most important river on the western part of Bengal. Almost every year Dwarakeswar river basin is affected by frequent flood due to its regime and physical setup. Through this paper we want to show the causes of flood, to evaluate the lithosectional interpretation as an evidence of flood and embankment and to find out some probable solution to protect property and lives of local people from the effects of floods. In this paper we used simple quantitative and qualitative techniques and various books, journals and official website have been used for secondary database. Although geo-informatics helps to collect and analyze data and also in making necessary maps and diagrams. We cannot stop flood occurrence but we use some structural and non structural measures to mitigate the vulnerability of flood.
Keywords:
Catastrophic, regimes, lithosection, embankment, structural and non structural measures.
