er
Disaster is a natural or human ,
caused phenomenon, which
causes serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or a
society causing widespread
human, material, economic
and environmental losses which
elicited the ability of the affected
community, society to cope using
its resources.

• Floods are a common feature

in the country that occur
every year in many parts
including South India.

OBJECTIVE OF
STUDY
• To identify the causes of floods
• To describe the overall impact of
flooding
• To formulate a strategy for the flood
affected areas in Vijayawada, with
reference to
– MITIGATION,
– PREPAREDNESS,
– RESPONSE,
– RECOVERY.

 INTRODUCTIO
NA flood occurs when the
Geomorphic Equilibrium in the
river system is disturbed because
of intrinsic or extrinsic factors or
when a system crosses the
geomorphic threshold.
(a)Flooding in a river due to
aggradation of river bed
(intrinsic threshold);
(b) Flooding in a river due to heavy
rainfall (extrinsic threshold)

Floods in major cities

especially during rainy
season are proving to
disastrous not only to the
environment but also have
serious implications for
human life and property.

TYPES OF
FLOODS
• Types of floods
•Flash floods
•River floods
•Coastal Floods
•Urban Flood
• According to their duration flood can be divided into different
categories:
•Slow-Onset Floods: Slow Onset Floods usually last for a relatively longer
period, it may last for one or more peeks, or even months.
•Rapid-Onset Floods: Rapid1Onset Floods last for a relatively shorter period,
they usually last for one or two days only.
•Flash Floods: Flash Floods may occur within minutes or a fe1w hours after
heavy
rainfall, tropical storm, failure of dams or levees or releases of ice dams.
And it causes the greatest damages to society.

Flood
forecasting
• Anticipating floods before they occur allows for precautions to
be taken and people to be warned so that they can be
prepared in advance for flooding conditions.
• For example,
– Farmers can remove animals from low-lying areas and utility services
can put in place emergency provisions to re-route services if needed.
Emergency services can also make provisions to have enough resources
available ahead of time to respond to emergencies as they occur.
• In order to make the most accurate flood forecasts for
waterways, it is best to have a long time-series of historical
data that relates stream flows to measured past rainfall
events
• Radar estimates of rainfall and general weather forecasting
techniques are
also important components of good flood forecasting.
 Flood
• Control
In many countries around the world, waterways prone to floods are
often carefully managed. Defences such as levees, bunds,
reservoirs, and weirs are used to prevent waterways from
overflowing their banks.
• In the riparian zone near rivers and streams, erosion control
measures can be taken
to try and slow down or reverse the natural forces that cause many
waterways
to meander over long periods of time.
• Flood controls, such as dams, can be built and maintained over
time to try and reduce the occurrence and severity of floods as
well.
Flood
benefits
• Floods (in particular more frequent or smaller floods) can
also bring many benefits, such as
– Recharging ground water,
– Making soil more fertile and increasing nutrients in some soils.
• Flood waters provide much needed water resources in arid and
semi-arid regions where precipitation can be very unevenly
distributed throughout the year.
• Freshwater floods particularly play an important role in
maintaining ecosystems in
river corridors and are a key factor in maintaining floodplain
biodiversity.
• Flooding can spread nutrients to lakes and rivers,
which can lead to increased biomass and improved
fisheries for a few years.
• For some fish species, an inundated floodplain may
form a highly suitable location
for spawning with few predators and enhanced levels
of nutrients or food.

Floods in India
 Floods cause damage to houses, industries, public
utilities and property resulting in huge economic losses,
apart from loss of lives.
 Though it is not possible to control the flood disaster totally,
by adopting suitable structural and non-structural
measures the flood damages can be minimised.

This was another sorrow caused to Assam in
recent years. In July 2012, Brahmaputra and its
tributaries showed its wrath and since it was
natural but it grabs a spot at number 2 and eye-
catching event because the main area which was
affected included Kaziranga National Park, a
park which is the natural habitat of Rhinos. It
cause a death of 540 animals including 13
Rhinos. The main reasons behind this calamity
is the deforestation in the area of passing by of
Brahmaputra.

It was 6th August 2010, when the
series of natural disasters started to
take place in Ladakh, a regional part
of J&K ( Jammu and Kashmir). It was
accompanied with cloudburst, debris
flows and Flash floods from
Himalayan. Causality was less than

a great loss of property was
reported. Areas of Leh were also
affected and it caused a loss of
total Rs. 133 crores INR.

with the people on the road and
which caused a traffic jam and with it
came the loss of people. A total of

Attempts in India
modify the floods: involves flood
protection by physical measures such as
• Construction of embankments
• Construction of detention reservoirs
• Channel improvements etc.
• Attempts to modify the susceptibility to flood damage:
involves action designed to reduce the vulnerability of
property and other developmental activities in the flood
plains to the flood hazard
• Attempts to modify the loss burden: Consists of
actions to modify the incidence of losses, by spreading
them over a large segment of community.

• To minimise vulnerability to floods and consequent loss of lives, livelihood
systems, property and damage to infrastructure and public utilities
• Flood damage assessment be made on a realistic and scientific basis and
recorded basin-
/sub-basin-wise.
• Performance evaluation of a large number of FM schemes be carried out
and their impact on the socio economic development of the protected
area be assessed.
• The use of flood plains be regulated and a suitable legislation for flood
plain zoning be enacted and enforced.
• Water Resources planning and construction be basin wise and basin
organisations be set up.
• Storages in various forms is an important component of the package of
measures for FM and flood space in reservoirs be provided to the extent
feasible and flood control not relegated to a non- priority activity as
against competing water requirements for hydropower and Irrigation
purposes.
• International dimensions of problem of floods be kept in mind and the GOI
should play an important role in the matter.
• Requisite funds be made available for construction of new and

 Reasons for Krishna
Flood
 This region receives maximum rainfall both by southwest
and retreating monsoons.
 The primary reason for the flooding is the unauthorized
settlements along
the river which had taken place due to lack of planning
and enforcement.
 Vijayawada is located on the line which separates the
delta-irrigated lands
 Flood bank below barrage is about 6.40 Km which creates
havoc in flood season from June to December.
 High Water release at time from barrage with 4,12,734
to 10,94422 Cusecs of water released in various years.
 Developmental activities like sluice connectivity to into the
river is causing back water(3 sluices connected into river)
 Bund cutting for public private developmental activities (ex:
sluice, storm
water drains) approach roads for bigger vehicles.
Contd
…
• trespassing the river bunds by people
• damage to the river bunds by rodents
• Breach occurrence and damages
occurred to the flood bank with slips
and erosion.
• Negligence and helpless condition
making people to stay at the houses
even after passing the warnings
• With little authoritative power over
the settlements along the flood
banks, the irrigation department is
unable to attend swiftly in vulnerable
areas.

The potential forecast outlook can be translated into early warning
messages and
initiate preventive/preparedness actions.
• As per the building byelaws 1981, no permission to construct a
building on site shell be granted , if the site is with in 9 meters

such building to be raised above the normal minimum flood level
of the adjoining to ground or to such other level as the authority
may prescribe Shift or restrict the people living in flood banks to
safe place by providing all aminities
• Krishna Bund strengthening at Krishna lanka, ranadheevinagar,
Bhupesh Gupta nagar
• Krishna bund construction from police colony to yanamala

• Raising the free board of Krishna flood bunds from 1.5 metre to 2
