ABSTRACT
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry and it is a natural phenomenon that occurs most commonly due to the overflow of water, heavy rainfall, etc. One of the World’s most flood disaster-prone areas is the Indian Sub-Continent, and flood here is a very common annual feature in the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna transboundary river system. One of the transboundary rivers like Atreyee, a part of this Ganga -Brahmaputra river system, is facing a big problem due to its frequent floods. It creates problems when it undergoes the cultivation land and rural settlements. Every flood causes damage and makes the life of people miserable. This paper aims to suggest some ways and means for streamlining flood problems by using cartographic tools. The flood risk analysis of the studied areas has been prepared through a process of scientific cartographic techniques, by managing hydro-morphological data of the Atreyee river basin. The methodology adopted in the present study is based on primary as well as secondary information including hydro-meteorology, morphology, topographical maps, satellite sensing data, and socio-economic data. In the last 45 years, Atreyee keeps on changing its course and bank lines. Spatio-temporal shifting of such river channels is an important factor for the identification of flooding hazards in the community. After mapping using the findings of the land use and land cover (LULC), rainfall zoning at flood plain areas, and analyzing hydro-morphological data derived from the study, it offers significant information to understand flood risk vulnerability and it allows the support of flood disaster preparedness and management.
