Abstract

Natural disaster like flooding is the commonest hazard that impacts the Vrishabhavathi River catchment (spread over a surface of 38 km2) on the upstream side of Gali Anjaneya Temple. To help and rescue the flood affected people to mitigate the matter of flood and to require necessary preventive measures in study area, flood management planning is a really important. To reduce the flood risk in the catchment, present study aims to examine and propose the structural and non-structural mitigatory measures. For finding suitable sites for structural and non-structural measures, in the present study attempts has been to reduce the peaking of floods by identifying the areas to delay the flood concentration time and develop a conclusive pattern for finding suitable sites.
