| Abstract | Floods are the most commonly occurring disaster in Uttar Pradesh, affecting almost every year some part of the state or the other. In 2013, 65 districts of Uttar Pradesh were affected by floods and water logging covering an area of 549524 ha and a total of 15132 villages. Gonda district has been affected by severe flood and water logging every year. A total of 237 villages in 10 blocks were affected by river flood and water logging in 2013 covering an area of 77965 ha (Technical Report, RSAC-UP: SWRD: 2014:01, 2013-14). This flood situation interrupted over all development of the district. The present study is an attempt to identify the causing factors and some suitable remedial measures for overall improvement in the flood and water logging problems of Gonda district with the help of Geoinformatics. |
