FLOOD RISK PATTERN RECOGNITION BY USING ENVIRONMETRIC TECHNIQUE: A CASE STUDY IN LANGAT RIVER BASIN

This study looks into the downscaling of statistical model to produce and predict hydrological modelling in the study area based on secondary data derived from the Department of Drainage and Irrigation (DID) since 1982-2012. The combination of chemometric method and time series analysis in this study showed that the monsoon season and rainfall did not affect the water level, but the suspended solid, stream flow and water level that revealed high correlation in correlation test with p-value < 0.0001, which affected the water level. The Factor analysis for the variables of the stream flow, suspended solid and water level showed strong factor pattern with coefficient more than 0.7, and 0.987, 1.000 and 1.000, respectively. Based on the Statistical Process Control (SPC), the Upper Control Limit for water level, suspended solid and stream flow were 21.110 m3/s, 4624.553 tonnes/day, and 8.224 m/s, while the Lower Control Limit were 20.711 m, 2538.92 tonnes/day and 2.040 m/s. This shows that human development in the area gives high impact towards climate change and flood risk, and not the monsoon season. Prediction was carried out using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to classify risks into their own classes, and the rate of accuracy for the prediction was 97.1%. This meant that the points in the time series analysis which were located beyond Upper Control Limit were considered as High Risk class, and the probability for flood occurrence is very high. The other classes classified in this prediction are Caution Zone, Low Risk and No risk. This is important to set a trigger for warning system in the case of emergency response plan during flood.

Flood Risk Pattern Recognition Using Integrated Chemometric Method and Artificial Neural Network: A Case Study in the Johor River Basin

Flood is a major problem in Johor river basin, which normally happened during monsoon season. However in this study, it shows that rainfall did not have a strong relationship for the changes of water level compared to suspended solid and stream flow, where both variables have p-values of <0.0001 and these variables also became the main factors in contributing to the flood occurrence based on Factor Analysis result. Time Series Analysis was being carried out and based on Statistical Process Control, the limitation has been set up for mitigation in controlling flood. All data beyond the Upper Control Limit was predicted to have High Risk to face flood and Emergency Response Plan should be implemented to prevent complication and destruction because of flood. The prediction for the risk level was carried out using the application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN), where the accuracy of prediction was very high, with the result of 96% for the level of accuracy in the prediction of risk class.

FLOOD RISK MONITORING OF KOSHI RIVER BASIN IN NORTH PLAINS OF BIHAR STATE OF INDIA, USING STANDARDIZED PRECIPITATION INDEX

India is one of the most flood-affected countries in the world. The Koshi River, in north Bihar plains of India, gives a challenge in term of long and repetitive flood hazards. Supaul district often gets severely affected due to flood over Koshi River basin. Districts of Koshi division, Saharsa, Purnia and Madhepura, also get affected by flood. For monitoring flood events over this region, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) has been extensively used in the present study. This index is useful, as it can indicate the hydrological and climatological conditions of the river basin to a certain extent. SPI values over the flood-prone districts were calculated and analyzed at different time scales, using monthly rainfall data over a period of 50 years . Through the analysis, it was found that SPI indicated flood events of Bihar in the years 1954, 1968, 1974, 1984 and 1987 in a precise manner. Modified Rainfall Anomaly Index (MRAI) is also used at different time scales over the study region. Results of these two indices were compared at different time scales, to show that MRAI can be used as an alternative of SPI. Our study revealed that MRAI values at different timescales are highly correlated with SPI values at corresponding timescales. Linear Regression analysis of MRAI with SPI yielded strong positive correlation between these indices. This paper shows, SPI and MRAI are useful for flood risk assessment & monitoring over Koshi basin and can be utilized for other river basins also.

Flood Frequency Analysis for Kosi River Basin, Bihar, India Using Statistical Methods

Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2024

Flood peak estimation provides assistance in water resources management by offering sufficient information regarding possible flood risk. In the present analysis, flood peaks are estimated for various return periods using the probabilistic model. Six statistical methods namely Normal, Gumbel, log Normal, General Extreme Value (GEV), Pearson III and log Pearson III are used to forecast the flood discharge of Kosi river which is responsible for inundating a large area of North Bihar plain despite various flood management activities. The annual flow data for a period of 33 years (1981 to 2013) at Birpur gauge station are used in the study. The flood peak magnitudes are computed for the return period of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 years. The Generalised extreme value method provided the higher values of predicted flood magnitude. The Goodness of fit test for six distributions is assessed using Kolmogorov Smirnov (KS), Chi-Squared (CS) and Anderson Darling (AD) tests. The tests of Goodness of fit show that Normal distribution followed by Generalised extreme value distribution provides the best results for Kosi river basin. The predicted flood peak for different return periods is of greater importance and may be utilised in designing important hydraulic structures along the river, constructing bridges, developing flood inundation zones and flood management activities.

Flood Frequency Analysis in Sabarmati River basin and Estimation of Peak Discharge under Climate Change Scenario

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2019

Due to climate change, there is an increased/decreased frequency of peak flood discharge in river and streams. The most important concern of planning is to safe passing of the extreme flood discharge influenced by extreme climatic changes. It is a concern for planning for the storage capacity to safely store extreme discharge/inflow of the river. In this paper, probability theories and statistics for flood frequency factor (K) are applied and based on the results; it is found that the Extreme value model results in to a best model for frequency factor K, as it is yielding the minimum relative error. Using the frequency factor, the flood frequency analysis for peak flood is carried out for climate change scenario/Advance scenario. The peak discharge in advance scenario is more as compare to the base line scenario at most of the stations except three stations located on the south-east of the Sabarmati river basin.
