dc.description.abstractFlood may be defined as a social perception associated with sudden invension of unusually high levels of water resulting in widespread destruction and distress. Floods are caused due to intense and sustained rainfall. But various human activities in the catchment area and flood plain of the rivers commpound the problem. Conventional flood control measures can definitely limit the damages to a great extent. However, they have their limitations. In the 21st century, pressure of population will compel planning process to attempt conservation and utilisation of our natural resources as a whole. This may bring in total utilisation of water and flood may lose its connotation of devastation and distress.en_US
