India is traversed by a large number of river systems. The rivers of North and Central India are prone to frequent floods during the SouthWest monsoon season, particularly in the month of July, August and September. Surat is one of the major important cities of Gujarat. In view of above scenario, it is observed that Surat is a highly developed, thickly populated cosmopolitan character city with full of various activities going on day and night. 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 revised reservoir operation for Ukai Dam listed and discussed.
