Ravindra S. Bhagat | Dr. Devendra K. Bisen

Abstract: In the past, there have been several climatic parameters occurring in most part of the earth due to climate changesuch as intensity of rainfall, cloudburst, heavy rainfall etc. Flood is a one of the natural calamities occurring from time to time and space to space in all rivers, which not only damages natural resources and the lives but also causes the loss of economy and human being. So I have attempt to made in the Mapping of flood impact of Wainganga river basin in Maharashtra based on using remote sensing and GIS techniques. So the prepare from such calamity, vulnerable areas for flood affection area a need to find out. Therefore, in this research paper try to made find out the flood prone areas by using remote sensing and GIS techniques. To get the demarcation of flood line with the help of Grid rainfall data. With the help of such information identifies flood prone areas and will help in river management.
