A project on “Development of Flood Forecast Model and Spatial Decision Support System for Damage Mitigation” is initiated on R&D mode. The Godavari Basin is selected as a study area in the project as the Godavari Basin is one of the largest Indian River basins and floods are very frequent phenomenon in this river. The main objectives of the project are, Development of Flood Forecast Model, Flood Inundation Simulation using close contour DEM from ALTM DEM,
and Development of Spatial Decision Support System for Flood Damage Mitigation. In total the project gives the end to end solution on flood disaster studies.
