Introduction

Problems related to flooding have greatly increased over recent decades because of

population growth development of extensive infrastructures in close proximity to rivers

It is importance to find solutions byutilizing modern technology like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and flood modeling

Study Area

Kalu-Ganga river basin in Sri Lanka

Total catchment area is 2719 km2 Entire basin lies within the wet

zone. Average annual runoff is around

7600 MCM. Catchment experiences average

annual rainfall of 4000 mm.
