Abstract :

Floods are recurrent phenomena in India from time immemorial. Every year some or the other parts of the country are affected by floods of varying magnitude. Different regions of the country have different climates and rainfall patterns. Out of the total rainfall of India, about 75% of it is received during the four moths (June to September) due to the South-West monsoon which is non-uniformly distributed in space as well. India is traversed by a large number of river systems. The rivers of North and Central India are prone to frequent floods during the South-West monsoon season. Surat is one of the major important cities of Gujarat. It is a locus of trade and economical activities along with varieties of industries starting from Cotton industry, Diamond industry, Sugar industry to Petrochemical industries located in or around nearby area. Any natural calamity which causes loss of lives to property & infrastructure along with effects on industrial processes going on has serious impact on economy of the state. So, it becomes highly necessary that past flood events must be studied and analyzed properly in order to propose adequate flood control & protection measures in time to come. In this research paper, effort towards peak flood frequency probability analysis is carried out and diversion of Tapi river flood study listed and discussed.
