Abstract

Floods are uncontrollable natural event causing loss of life and damage to public property. The flood water has to be managed so that it can be used for many purposes. The extent of inundation and the depth of flooding can be estimated using remote sensing and GIS (Geographic Information System) techniques. This study intends to focus on the aspect of field investigation along with GIS to reconstruct a Flood event so as to estimate the flood volume and extent. Field investigation shows that Velachery area of Chennai city in India is subjected to severe flooding. This study is an attempt in reconstructing the flood event of December 03, 2005 through field investigation in Velachery area. Field of study has been restricted to the Velachery area.
