Abstract

Objectives: Flood risk assessment is a fundamental aspect of disaster management, particularly in regions heavily reliant on irrigation infrastructure for agriculture. This study employs advanced hydrological and hydraulic modeling techniques to evaluate flood risk for the Lower Suktel region in Odisha, India. Methods: The methodology integrates Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves, Isopluvial maps, and the Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) to comprehensively analyze flood risk and its implications. Findings: IDF curves further reveal that the design rainfall intensity for a one-hour duration with a 100-year return period is 152 mm/h, aiding in characterizing rainfall intensity for specific return periods. Model simulation identifies the pump house's susceptibility to flooding, with maximum flood depths ranging from 0 to 2 meters. These findings underscore the significance of employing advanced modeling techniques and Isopluvial maps for precise flood risk assessment. Novelty: The novelty of this paper lies in its pioneering effort to introduce a comprehensive flood risk assessment in an area where it has not been previously conducted. The integration of advanced modeling techniques and spatial analysis tools contributes to the novelty of the research, making it a valuable and innovative contribution to the field of flood risk management. Understanding extreme rainfall events, hydraulic behavior, and potential flood depths is imperative for developing effective flood mitigation strategies.
