Flood Frequency Analysis
Causes of Urban Floods
Natural causes:
Heavy rainfall, Change in frequency and
Intensity of rainfall due to climate change.
Human Causes:
Encroachment of water bodies, Urbanization,
Silting and clogging of drains, Deforestation,
In adequate storm water drainage system
Hydrodynamic Simulation
Objectives Urban Floods
• Hydrodynamic Simulation for Urban
Floods and Dry Weather Flow
• Water Quality Simulation
• Rejuvenation of Nag River

Conclusion
Findings of the flood simulation scenarios can be used in riverbed planning and development strategies like river training works, flood controlling techniques.
Water Quality Simulations were carried out for existing and rejuvenated conditions.
Rejuvenated options showed a significant reduction in BOD and increase in DO along Nag River.
Based on the simulation results, in-situ and/or ex-situ decentralized sewage treatment techniques are suggested for rejuvenation of Nag River.
