Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Occurrences of flood damages is a natural phenomenon and man had to cope with flood situations from the very beginning. Floods have ravaged portions of India from time immemorial even before the population of India grew up and economic activities developed, Earlier, the flood waters spread over the flood plains, flowed back to the streams/rivers and emptied into the sea in course of time without causing much of problems. However, as human settlements started growing close to the riverbanks and with increased population pressure and greater economic development, more and more of the flood plains got occupied leading to adverse flood effect being felt in an acute manner by people. Flood hazard is thus a dynamic quantity as it changes in response both to the magnitude of the flood event and to the nature and scale of the development on the flood plain.
2 This standard was first published in 1993. This revision has been brought out to bring the standard in the latest style and format of the Indian Standards. In addition, clause 4.2 has been modified to include new sampling techniques such as the use of satellite maps and drone surveys to cover large areas of flood damage.
