Abstract

Flash flood is one of the most common and unexpected natural hazards in the Himalayan Region. The difficulty in precise forecasting of flash floods makes it one of the frequent unanticipated hazards. Flash flood hazards had been responsible for the increased loss of life and property damages. The present study focused on generating a flash flood susceptibility map using the basin morphometric parameters, namely: stream number, stream frequency, stream length, mean bifurcation ratio, elevation, texture ratio, relief ratio, ruggedness number, drainage density, infiltration number, time of concentration, basin relief and foam factor.
