Abstract:
Floods are a recurring hazard in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India. The district is known for its complex geomorphology and dynamic hydrology. Out of all the North 24 Parganas districts, two subdivisions are mainly affected by floods, namely Basirhat subdivision and Bangaon subdivision.This study assessed the geomorphological features and identified flood susceptibility zones using remote sensing and GIS. Important geomorphological factors such as elevation, slope, land use and land cover were analyzed to assess their impact on flood risk. By integrating satellite data, digital elevation model (DEM) and GIS, we have developed a flood susceptibility map for targeted flood management. This study highlights the value of geomorphological and remote sensing information for understanding flood risk and guiding sustainable land use planning. Remote sensing and GIS are known to be very important and useful tools in identifying flood-affected areas and accurately understanding the causes of floods. In addition to the causes of floods and affected areas, remote sensing and GIS help in knowing and understanding flood management, flood prevention, and dynamics.
