| Summary: | Extreme floods have become common in Asian cities, with recent increases in urbanization and extreme rainfall driving increasingly severe and frequent events. Understanding the flood dynamic is essential for developing strategies to reduce risk and damage, thus ensuring the city’s protection. Channel roughness is a sensitive parameter in developing a hydraulic model for flood forecasting and flood inundation mapping. A High-resolution 2D HEC-RAS model was used to simulate the flood events of 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, and 2015. The calibrated model, in terms of channel roughness, has been used to simulate the flood for the year 2006 in the river. The performance of the calibrated HEC-RAS-based model has been accessed by capturing the flood peaks of observed and simulated floods and computation of root mean squared error (RMSE) for the intermediated gauging stations on the lower Tapi River. Results revealed that there is good agreement between simulated and observed floods. |
