Abstract

Floods are an intense and frequent disaster happening in numerous portions of the world. Flood is a excess of water that submerges surroundings that is normally dry. It is the sever problem in Ganga Sub Basin - Ghaghra Confluence to Gomti Confluence of Uttar Pradesh. Near real time mapping of inundated areas is very important for figuring out the flood extent, deployment of emergency reaction teams, and evaluation of damages and casualties. In this thesis work, a real time flood mapping and monitoring online WEB based application using Sentinel-1 time-series data has been developed on Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The SAR Data has Capability to see through the cloud and during the flood the major problem with optical data is, it can not see through the cloud. In this thesis work the SAR data has been used to identify the inundated pixels before and during flood to identify the extent and calamities due to flood. Flood is a hazardous natural phenomenon which severely affect lives, goods and services. Monitoring of flood affected area becomes compulsory for emergency responses but due to damage of network and risk for lives in going such areas it becomes a very typical task. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is an open-source cloud based online platform which reduces this problem. In this thesis work the GEE platform has been used for Near-Real time flood mapping in the study area. The GEE based app “FLOOD MONITORING SYSTEM: GANGA SUB BASIN – GHAGHRA CONFLUENCE TO GOMTI CONFLUENCE” has been developed for Near-Real time flood Mapping.
