Abstract

Natural disasters like floods are a worldwide havoc and a serious threat to mankind .Ghatal, block of Paschim Medinipur is one of the most flooded areas in the states of West Bengal, India. This article describes the utilization of geographic information systems (GIS) at flood simulation and visualization. The river system of Ghatal and the average annual rainfall are the most terrific reasons for a large area inundation. However hydrological–numerical models include information on flow velocity pressure and water depth from which the additional attribute flood intensity is calculated of. Digital terrain model (DTM) of ninety meter by ninety meter is the flood map generated by MIKE software. In this work we want to find out the road ways damaged due to area inundation.
