Abstract:
An accurate understanding of the hydrological behavior of a Jamnagar district is important for effective assessment and management of flood. Precipitation is the most basic and important data needed when planning water control strategies/ practices, such as, waterways or storage facilities. In India availability of accurate information on submergence is scarce. Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques can be effectively used for spatial as well as non-spatial data base that represent the various hydrologic characteristics of the study area. The Present paper deals with the study area of Jamnagar district, located between 22o 00’ and 22o 32’ of North Latitude and 69 57’ and 70 05’ of East Longitude, in Gujarat State, India. The Daily rainfall data of 10 Rainguage stations(1991-2010) was collected and used to predict the Submergence in the study area using ARC GIS 9.3 software and giving appropriate Structural and Non-Structural management for flood in study area.
