Volume : II, Issue : VII, August - 2012 Effect Of Flood On Land Use In Different Return Periods: A Case Study From The Lower Haora Basin, Tripura, North-east India Mugdha Chakraborty and Nibedita Das (Pan) DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Floods are natural phenomena that occur when water from rainfall, snow melt,
dam failure or any combination of these is released into a stream at rates that exceeds the
transfer and storage capacity of the channel. Flooding is responsible for both annual
loss of life and property damage.
The River Haora is the Life Line of Agartala Municipal Area. It is the smallest
river among the ten major rivers of Tripura with a length of 53 km only. It originates from
the Baramura Hill Range (947m) and flows westward, passes through Agartala, the
capital city of Tripura, enters into Bangladesh and meets the River Titas. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Mugdha Chakraborty and Nibedita Das (Pan), (2012).
