Perhaps the most important concern for all of us today is protecting the environment we live and breathe in. Climate change issues are creating havoc with erratic weather patterns affecting everything from crop production to untimely melting of ice glaciers.
There is a lot to worry about and immediate action is definitely required. It’s not that the world has not geared up to take corrective actions, but we need to do more, and Geo-informatics can help us achieve that. Geo-informatics is a powerful platform which enables every sector to perform better and the environment is no exception! Coupled with a digital map, GIS allows a user to see locations, events, features, and environmental changes with unprecedented clarity, showing layer upon layer of information such as environmental trends, soil stability, pesticide use, migration corridors, hazardous waste generators, dust source points, lake remediation efforts, and at-risk water wells. Effective environmental practice considers the whole spectrum of the environment. ArcGIS® & other GIS technologies offers a wide variety of analytical tools to meet the needs of many people, helping them make better decisions about the environment. People in the environmental management community use GIS to organize existing information and communicate that information throughout their organizations. GIS can be used as a strategic tool to automate processes, transform environmental management operations by garnering new knowledge, and support decisions that make a profound difference on our environment.

Glacial lakes are found in the Himalayan region, where water is dammed by snow in winter. The water turns to snow and the lakes appear as plains of snow. In summer, the ice caps melt and the water becomes visible, making the region look like lakes. Glacial lakes can flood due to slope movements, heavy rainfall, earthquakes, floods, landslides, lake overflows, or melting ice in moraines. Floods from glacial lakes can destroy life, property, human settlements, cultivable land, and development structures like roads and hydroelectric projects. Prevention methods include identifying avalanche-prone areas, afforestation, awareness programs, relief preparation, evacuation guidance, avalanche
There are many different means of investigating the landslide-prone areas. Two types of landslide hazard evaluation methods are available. One is the direct observation and the other one is the use of technological tools. One of the guiding principles of geology is that the past is the key to the future. In evaluating landslide hazards, the future slope failures could occur as a result of the same geologic, geomorphic, and hydrologic situations that led to past and present failures. Based on this assumption, it is possible to estimate the types, frequency of occurrence, extent, and consequences of slope failures that may occur in the future. A landslide susceptibility map goes beyond an inventory map and depicts areas that have the potential for landsliding.

Comparison of multi‑infuence factor, weight of evidence and frequency ratio ...nitinrane33
Groundwater is the largest available reservoir of freshwater. But the rapid increase in the
population and urbanisation, has led to over exploitation of groundwater which imposed
tremendous pressure on global groundwater resources. Because of the hidden and dynamic
nature of groundwater, it requires appropriate quantifcation for the formulation of ground-
water planning and management strategies. The present study evaluates the efcacy of
geospatial technology based Multi Infuence Factor (MIF), Weight of Evidence (WofE)
and Frequency Ratio (FR) technique to evaluate groundwater potential using a case study
of basaltic terrain. The thematic layers infuencing the groundwater occurrence viz. rain-
fall, slope, geomorphology, soil type, land use, drainage density, lineament density, and
elevation were prepared using satellite images, hydrologic, hydrogeologic and relevant
feld data. Based on the conceptual frameworks of MIF, WofE and FR techniques these
thematic layers and their features were assigned with appropriate weight and then inte-
grated in the ArcGIS platform for the generation of aggregated raster layer which portray
the groundwater potential zones. The results of validation showed that the groundwater
potential delineated using MIF technique has a prediction accuracy of 81.94%, followed by
WofE technique (76.19%) and FR techniques (71.43%). It is concluded that for evaluation
of groundwater potential, the MIF technique is most reliable, followed by the WofE tech-
nique. The evaluated groundwater potential zones are useful as a scientifc guide to identify
the suitable location of wells and recharge structure in a cost-efcient way and also for the
development of structured and pragmatic groundwater management strategies.
This document summarizes a study that assesses flood risk in Ambala City, India using geospatial modeling. The study analyzed natural and human factors contributing to flooding. A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to model flood risk for different return periods using hydrologic and hydraulic models. Model results showed increasing flood inundation areas from 690 to 2300 hectares with return periods from 2 to 20 years. The 5-year flood extent was validated using remote sensing imagery and field data from a 2010 flood. The flood risk modeling can help urban planners make risk-informed land use and development decisions to mitigate flooding impacts.

Evaluation of Groundwater Resource Potential using GIS and Remote Sensing App...IJERA Editor
Environment and Development are the two wheels of the cart. However, they become antagonists at some
points. It has been witnessed many a times that development is done at the cost of environment. Analysis and
assessment tools like GIS along with Remote Sensing have proved to be very efficient and effective and hence
useful for management of natural resources. Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. In order to
ensure a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. There is an urgent need of planned and
optimal development of water resources. An appropriate strategy is required to develop water resources with
planning based on conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources. Integrated remote sensing and GIS
can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in
groundwater management and planning. Sustainable water resources development and management necessarily
depends on proper planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. The interpretation of remote sensing
data in conjunction with conventional data and sufficient ground truth information makes it possible to identify
and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydrologic
characters that may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of ground and surface water. Remotely
sensed data provides unbiased information on geology, geomorphology, structural pattern and recharging
conditions, which logically define the groundwater regime of an area. Groundwater resource potential has been
evaluated in Pulivendula-Sanivaripalli, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and
Geographic information system. Under this study, three thematic maps viz. Geological map (Lithology and
Structure), Geomorphological map and Hydro morphological maps were prepared. These thematic maps have
been integrated with the help of GIS. Appropriate weightage has been assigned to various factors controlling
occurrence of groundwater to assess the groundwater potential in each segment of the study area. The area has
been classified into high potential, moderate potential, low potential and non-potential zones landforms ground

suggested to impound the excessive run off so as to augment the ground water resources of the area.

useful for management of natural resources. Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. In order to
ensure a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. There is an urgent need of planned and
optimal development of water resources. An appropriate strategy is required to develop water resources with
planning based on conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources. Integrated remote sensing and GIS
can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in
groundwater management and planning. Sustainable water resources development and management necessarily
depends on proper planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. The interpretation of remote sensing
data in conjunction with conventional data and sufficient ground truth information makes it possible to identify
and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydrologic
characters that may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of ground and surface water. Remotely
sensed data provides unbiased information on geology, geomorphology, structural pattern and recharging
conditions, which logically define the groundwater regime of an area. Groundwater resource potential has been
evaluated in Pulivendula-Sanivaripalli, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and
Geographic information system. Under this study, three thematic maps viz. Geological map (Lithology and
Structure), Geomorphological map and Hydro morphological maps were prepared. These thematic maps have
been integrated with the help of GIS. Appropriate weightage has been assigned to various factors controlling
occurrence of groundwater to assess the groundwater potential in each segment of the study area. The area has
been classified into high potential, moderate potential, low potential and non-potential zones landforms ground
water development on the basis of hydromorphological studies. Some of the favorable locations have been
suggested to impound the excessive run off so as to augment the ground water resources of the area.

IRJET- Flood Susceptibility Assessment through GIS-Based Multi-Criteria Appro...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a study that assessed flood susceptibility in the Atalanti river basin in Central Greece using a GIS-based multi-criteria approach. The study considered various flood factors like rainfall intensity, flow accumulation, slope, land use, geology, soil type, distance from drainage network, topographic wetness index, and elevation. These factors were assigned weights using both ranking and analytical hierarchy process to produce flood susceptibility maps dividing the area into seven classes of susceptibility. The results showed that about 16% of the total area had the highest flood potential, mainly in the low-lying eastern plains, while about 43% had low flood potential in the northwestern and southwestern hilly areas as expected. The flood susceptibility mapping can

Floodplain Modelling Materials and MethodologyIDES Editor
A floodplain is the normally dry land area adjoining
river or stream that is inundated during flood events. The
most common reason for flooding could be overtopping of river
or stream due to heavy downfall. The floodplain carries flow
in excess of the river or stream capacity. Flood frequency and
flood water-surface elevations are the crucial components for
the evaluation of flood hazard. This paper presents the
methodology that incorporates advanced technologies for
hydrologic and hydraulic analyses that are needed to be carried
out to predict the flood water-surface elevations for any
ungaged watershed.
Inundation and Hazard Mapping on River Asa, using GISOyeniyi Samuel
This document discusses using GIS to create inundation and hazard maps of River Asa in Ilorin, Nigeria. Land use maps from 1976-2004 were digitized and analyzed, showing increases in built up area and cultivation over time. A digital elevation model was generated from contour lines. Rainfall data from 1984-2013 showed more years exceeding 100mm annually in later periods. Floodplains were mapped based on land use, rainfall, elevation, and slope data. Discharge values were calculated for return periods up to 200 years. The 50-year discharge value was used with GIS, HEC-RAS, and HEC-GeoRAS to produce an inundation map of areas at risk of flooding

This document provides a review of using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the MODFLOW groundwater modeling package together for groundwater management and modeling applications. It discusses two main areas of application: (1) GIS-based subsurface flow and pollution modeling, including several case studies that developed groundwater models using GIS for input data management and output visualization; and (2) using GIS techniques to select sites for artificial groundwater recharge. The document concludes that integrating GIS with MODFLOW has great potential to improve groundwater monitoring and management in the future.
Application of GIS and MODFLOW to Ground Water Hydrology- A ReviewIJERA Editor
Groundwater is one of the most valuable natural resources, which supports human health, economic
development and ecological diversity. Due to over exploitation, the ground water systems are affected and
require management to maintain the conditions of ground water resources within acceptable limits. With the
development of computers and advances in information technology, efficient techniques for water management
has evolved. The main intent of the paper is to present a comprehensive review on application of GIS
(Geographic Information System) followed by coupling with MODFLOW package for ground water
management and development. Two major areas are discussed stating GIS applications in ground water
hydrology. (i) GIS based subsurface flow and pollution modelling (ii) Selection of artificial recharge sites.
Although the use of these techniques in groundwater studies has rapidly increased since last decade the sucess
rate is very limited. Based on this review , it is concluded that integation of GIS and MODFLOW have great
potential to revolutionize the monitoring and management of vital ground water resources in the future.
This document discusses the modernization and advancement of watershed planning and management techniques in India. It provides a history of watershed development programs in India since the 1970s. It then discusses some of the major problems with previous watershed development programs, including inequitable distribution of resources. The document advocates for the use of advanced techniques like geographic information systems, remote sensing, hydrological modeling, and other decision support tools to help optimize land and water resource allocation and management. It provides examples of how simulation models, optimization models, multi-objective decision making models, and conflict resolution models can help address different watershed planning challenges. Overall, the document argues integrated watershed modeling approaches can help improve sustainability and natural resource management.
This academic paper describes using GIS techniques to map flood risk areas in the Lower Panjshir sub river basin of Afghanistan. The study integrated data on slope, rainfall, roads, population density, land use and elevation to identify areas at high, medium and low risk of flooding. The results showed 11484.09 hectares at high risk, 37339 hectares at medium risk and 31589 hectares at low risk. The flood risk map can help decision-makers implement mitigation measures and better manage land use to reduce flood impacts.

3. • Flood is an overflow of water that submerges usually dry area.
• Flood is a hydrological and meteorological disaster.
• Flood occurs due to overflow of water bodies by high precipitation and
snow melt.
• Water flow rate change in terms of seasons and path of flow are the other
usual causes of flooding.
• There are different types of floods as flash flood ,river flood , coastal flood,
urban flood.
• Flood is one of the most the most re-occurring natural hazard in the states
of India like Bihar, Assam, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttarakhand.
• Remote sensing and GIS plays an important role in mapping, monitoring
and providing spatial database for flood related studies.
• A recent catastrophic flood event in Kerala has taken more than 400 lives
and affected a total of more than a million people.
• This work is oriented towards waterlog flood disaster in the study area.
Introduction
4. • Flood
• GIS analysis
• Multi Criteria Analysis
• Land use land cover
• Factors that Effects Flood
• Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Literature review
5. • Flood is one of the common hydrological phenomena which is to a large
extent unpredictable and uncontrollable (Seenirajanet et al., 2017).
• Floods are one of the most common and devastating hydro meteorological
hazards worldwide, causing both economic losses and human fatalities
(González-Arqueros et al., 2018).
• The main causes of changes in flood risk are climatic change, changes in
land use and other anthropogenic interventions(George P. Karatzas, 2011).
• Recently, a study of 616 cities around the world indicated that floods
endanger more cities than any other natural hazard, followed by
earthquakes and storms(Xiao et al., 2017).
• India is one of the most flood-prone country in the world after Bangladesh,
and roughly one eighth of the country’s geographical area, is prone to
floods (Singh and Kumar, 2017).
• The extremely long series of floodless years may encourage the locals to
downplay the flood damage, leading to an overall neglect in the
maintenance of drainage ways(Ghoneim and Foody, 2013).
Flood
6. • Applications of geospatial science allow analysis on
four stages in flood management: flood prediction, flood preparation, flood
prevention and flood damage assessment(Wan and Billa, 2018).
• Utilization of recent technologies, such as the Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and remote sensing, in developing flood hazard
maps is gaining increasing attention in the last couple of
decades(Dawod et al., 2013).
• Areas with higher flooding susceptibility based on input factors can be
defined by means of the weighted overlay technique in GIS(González-
Arqueros et al., 2018).
• The relative importance of the criteria can be estimated through fuzzy
analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method followed by ordered weighted
averaging(Xiao,Yi et al.,2017).
GIS analysis
7. • Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) is a quantitative approach for integrating
multiple criteria layers for risk or vulnerability assessment(Luu et al., 2018;
Tang et al.,2018).
• MCA is a decision-making tool developed for solving complex multi-
criteria problems that include qualitative and/or quantitative aspects of the
problem(Roy, Chakravarthi et al.,2018).
• Multi Criteria Analysis(MCA) method includes the ideas of ranking and
weighting with the knowledge of experts is an index-based method which
provides an effective way of estimating the flood hazard(Xiao et al., 2017).
• Flood risk assessment is realized by the product of flood hazard zonation
and the sum of vulnerabilities derived from various vulnerability indicators
and criteria followed in deducing the social, infrastructure and land use
parameters, (Roy, Chakravarthi et al.,2018) represented by
Flood risk assessment = Hazard X f {Social, Infrastructure, Land use
Vulnerabilities}
Multi Criteria Analysis
8. LULC
• Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth. Land
covers include grass, asphalt, trees, bare ground, water, etc. (Cherqui
et al., 2015).
• This is the manner in which human beings employ the land and its
resources (Hong et al., 2017).
• This description of the appearance of the landscape and is generally
classified by the amount and type of vegetation, which is a reflection of its
use, environment, cultivation and seasonal phenology. Land cover is other
essential factor influences on runoff (Alexakis et al., 2014).
• Human activity have caused a net loss of 7 to 11million sq.km of forest in
the past 300 years, thus reducing the forest cover worldwide (Foley et al.,
2005).
• Many land-use practices, such as fuel-wood collection, forest grazing, and
road expansion can degrade forest ecosystem conditions even without
changing forest area (Nepstad et al., 1999).
9. • Elevation is the fundamental presentation of the topographic characteristic.
In many previous studies on flood risk assessment, DEM was directly used
as an assessment layer (Sarker and Sivertun, 2011).
• Slope indicates a degree of elevation variability in adjacent grid cells. The
flood is affected by slope. The steeper the terrain slope is, the lower the
hazard of area is (Wu et al., 2015).
• If a cell is surrounded by higher cells, the water will be stuck in it.(Xiao et
al. 2017).
• The flow accumulation is calculated by a cumulative count of the number
of grids that naturally drain into outlets. High values of flow accumulation
indicate high concentration of the water and consequently high possibility
of flooding (Papaioannou et al., 2015).
• The region near the river is easy to be flooded. The distance to river is
calculated using the Euclidean distance to the closest river channel (Y.
Chen et al., 2015).
Factors that Effects Flood
10. • Digital elevation model can be used as perfect source to derive factors as
slope, altitude, flow accumulation, TWI (Arabameri et al., 2018).
• Flow accumulation, elevation, drainage density, land use, slope, and has
been used as flood susceptibility factors(Mahmoud and Gan, 2018).
• TWI, slope percent, altitude, drainage density, land use have been found as
flood conditioning factors in Khiyav-Chai watershed in Iran(Choubin et al.,
2018).
• Reducing channel roughness in terms of hydrodynamic friction results in
faster stream flow velocities and less infiltration(Elkhrachy, 2015).
• If the drainage network is dense at any area, it will be a good indicator to
high flow accumulation path and more likely to get flooded (Islam and
Sado, 2000).
• Elevation, slope, TWI have been used for urban flood hazard zoning in
Argentina(Lutz and Fernandez, 2010).
Factors that Effects Flood
11. • The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was developed by Prof. Thomas L.
Saaty in the late 1970s and originally was applied to the marketing sector
(Dolan et al. 1987).
• Saaty (2008) proposed a procedure that involves arranging variables in a
hierarchy from which the best possible solution is determined via pairwise
comparison.
• AHP is one of the most popular methods in applying a multi criteria
decision support system to optimize decision making(Mahmoud and Gan,
2018).
• Application of AHP and GIS in an integrated manner has been successful in
various studies such as flood susceptibility mapping (Kazakis et al., 2015).
• AHP has been used widely in recent decades for flood hazard susceptibility
modelling (Masselink et al., 2017; Keesstra et al., 2018).

38. • 3 years of waterlogging have given a big picture for hazard prone zones.
• It is easily observable that majority of hazard prone zones have a good
proximity with main channels and closed water bodies.
• Other areas with dense spots of waterlogging areas are observable
between the main channels as Yamuna and Tauns.
• The union of three years of waterlog identification is capable of giving a
very good assessment information about hazard zones which can be used
further for identifying flood effected land covers and also verifying risk
prediction result.
Result and Discussion

extraction of hazard area feature.
• Land cover areas as flood prone zones have been identified.
• The result of this objective will help to assess the damage that can be
caused by the flood as it gives the LULC classes that get submerged
during the rainy season.
• Using the hazard area feature of three years of waterlog raster has given a
primary way of assessing recent time hazard conditions over the study

61. • It have been quite evident how much flow accumulation, TWI and
drainage density have more importance in risk mapping.
• Elevation has been set with moderate priority because of its specific
classes but large spanning over study area.
• LULC have been the least priority layer for the case of risk estimation.
• Finally the flood risk index map has been generated through weighted
sum overlaying.

65. • The risk map has been generated with 5 different classes.
• High and moderate risk zones have been subjected to verification with the
previously generated hazard layer.
• Overlaying hazard layer with appropriate transparency have been done for
verification of risk mapping.
• Verified high risk areas are showing very good alignment with hazard
areas while has its good proximity with the main channels of Ganga,
Yamuna, Tauns and Belan.
Result and Discussion
66. • Major portions that is actually effected by flood have been identified.
• Through this work the majorly effected LULC have been identified.
• As irrigated lands and soil areas are severely affected and can be located
distant from main channels, these areas needs effective remedial steps for
disaster risk management.
• For major sand area water may have got down in summer, thus subjected
to flooding in monsoon.
• Allahabad followed by Phulpur and Saraon tehsils needs good care for
planning the span of built up or developed areas.
Conclusions
67. • Major factors that are effecting the flood situation have been identified.
• Flood risk factors as flow accumulation, topographic wetness index,
drainage density and elevation can be very useful for flood risk estimate
over any similar type of study area.
• Flood risk zone mapping over study area has been done through AHP,
which has been validated against the waterlogging hazard layer.
• The decision making study with AHP demands more than six factors for
disaster risk estimation.
• A better result with AHP may demand inclusion of more potential factor
as well as better comparisons by expert consultant of hydrology.
