Flood events in India represent a recurring natural hazard that significantly impacts urban settlements, agricultural zones, industrial corridors, and critical infrastructure systems. Increasing rainfall variability, rapid urban expansion, river encroachment, and inadequate drainage capacity have intensified the need for scientific evaluation of flood-prone regions. A structured approach to flood risk assessment enables identification of vulnerable zones and supports mitigation planning through data-driven hydrological and hydraulic analysis. Importance of Flood Risk Assessment Flood-related disasters cause extensive economic losses, displacement of populations, and long-term environmental degradation. Systematic flood evaluation allows planners and engineers to anticipate flood behavior under different rainfall and river discharge conditions. In India, where monsoon-driven hydrology dominates, flood risk assessment becomes essential for sustainable infrastructure development and disa...
