| Summary, etc. |
The uneven distribution of the water resources frequently causes flooding in various parts of the country. One-eights of the country's geographical area is prone to flood. Sometimes, large volume of water originating in are a beyond India's international boundary also cause severe flooding in India. This article gives a brief overview of the attempts made hitherto modify the floods and the susceptibility to flood damage through various commissions, committees and policy statements. It discusses efficacy of various known methods of flood management like, flood plain zoning, forecasting and warning, which do not require large capital investment. Other aspects which are discussed in the article are possibility of multipurpose storage dams for flood prevention and sediment detention in regard to major flood producing catchments; administrative measures for restricting occupancy of flood zones and emphasis on flood zones and frequency studies. Basin-wise master plan for flood management in each flood prone basin and adequate flood-cushion in water storage projects wherever feasible as envisaged by the National Water Policy 2000 have also been discussed. - Reproduced. |
