In 1954, National
Floods Control Programme (NFCP) was adopted several measures to minimize their
devastation. But, Floods continued its annual visitation with varying degrees of affecting
power. Sometimes, Embankment, a major structural measure for floods may create
negative environment for flood and water logging condition for any floodplain. The
present paper has been prepared as a flood risk assessment study for the confluence zone
of the Kunur River and the Ajay River, related to the present and absence of embankment
along the Ajay River bank, which increasing basin run-off and channel discharge,
modifying channel width, helps to spread over river water in the floodplains Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Suvendu Roy and Shyamal Dutta, (2012).
