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.
• 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
different states of India like Bihar, Assam, Gujarat, Maharashtra and
Uttarakhand.
Introduction
4. • Water flow rate change in terms of seasons and path of flow are the other
usual causes.
• Flood may spread slowly but the flash floods spread at very high speed.
• Flood is a disaster event which is both natural and manmade.
• 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 urban flood disaster.

• Multi Criteria Analysis

Literature review
6. • 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)
• Half of the world's population lives within 60 km of the shoreline, and it is
expected that within the next 30 years, the coastal population will double
and much of this growth will be in coastal mega-cities, like Mumbai and
Chennai(Eldho and Kulkarni, 2015)
• In recent years, humans have endured increasing numbers of natural
disasters, of which flooding is the greatest and most common throughout
the world(Safaripour et al., 2012)
Flood
7. • 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 shortly after its occurrence,
leading to an overall neglect in the maintenance of drainage
ways(Ghoneim and Foody, 2013)
• For developing countries (and even more so for trans-boundary
basins, as for this case), the generalized lack of hydrological and
design and implementation of
for flood-risk mitigations
topographical data makes the
reliable structural measures
difficult(Gandolfi et al., 2013)
Flood
8. • 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
9. • Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) is a quantitative approach for integrating
multiple criteria layers for risk or vulnerability assessment.
• 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
10. LULC
• Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth. Land
covers include grass, asphalt, trees, bare ground, water, etc.
• This is the manner in which human beings employ the land and its
resources.
• 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)
11. • 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 flowaccumulation 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)
Some Crucial Factors
12. • The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was developed by Saaty in the late
1970s and originally was applied to the marketing sector (Dolan et al.
1987)
• Slowly it has been accepted in the field of multi-criteria decision making.
(https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org)
• The application of an AHP is structured into six steps, suggested by Dolan
et al., as follows: 1. define the decision goal, criteria, and alternatives, 2.
rate the criteria in pairwise comparisons, 3. calculate the relative priority
weights for the (sub-)criteria, 4. calculate the criteria’s global priority
weights and combine the alternatives’ priorities, 5. control for
inconsistency, and 6. perform sensitivity analysis.
• Only half of the pairwise matrix has to be filled in, as the other half is
obtained from the reciprocal weights. (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org)

horizontally either to a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
projection or to a geographic coordinate system
• Surfaces are usually modeled with raster datasets
• This study uses 2.5D elevation data as SRTM from USGS
• 1 Arc-Second signifies spatial resolution as 30m (approx.)
DEM (Digital Elevation Model)
30. • SRTM is an international research effort for obtaining the DEM on a near-
global scale from 56°S to 60°N.
• SRTM is the digital topographic database of Earth prior to the release of
the ASTER GDEM in 2009.
• It is an active remote sensing system.
• To acquire topographic data, the SRTM payload was outfitted with two
radar antennas
• the Shuttle's payload bay
• a critical change from the SIR-C/X-SAR
• Original SRTM elevations were calculated relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid
• 1-arc second global digital elevation model (30 meters) is available since
September 23, 2014
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
31. • Landsat 8 is an American Earth observation satellite launched on February
11, 2013
• It was originally called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM)
• Utilizes a two-sensor payload( push-broom instruments)
• Operational Land Imager (OLI)
• Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS)
• Provides moderate-resolution imagery, from 15 meters to 100 meters
• Operates in the visible, near-infrared, short wave infrared, and thermal
infrared spectrums
