Abstract
Flood is one of the major disasters that prevail in the northeastern India. Mapping of spatial inundation patterns during flood events is regarded for environmental management and disaster monitoring. This study emphasized on the assessment and flood inundation mapping of sub-watershed of Imphal River Basin of Manipur. Multispectral datasets from Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from ASTER and Cartosat with 30 and 10 m resolutions, respectively, are used for producing flood inundation maps. Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River analysis system (HEC-RAS) and RAS mapper are used in this study to generate flood inundation map. The study involved the assessment of flood map derived from multi-resolution two-dimensional hydrodynamic model approach. The result from the study provides the required assessment of impacts of flood events in the study area and will help the policy-makers to take an effective decision-making for mitigation and preventive measure of the region.
