Estimation of Flood Vulnerability By DEA A Case Study of Narmada River
Keywords:
Vulnerability, Narmada River, DEA, Disaster, hazardsAbstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the situation, the background, the factors, risk circumstances, the magnitude and consequences of the flood, to record the danger and vulnerability, as well as the community's numerous implications; to analyze local awareness, traditions, and beliefs; and to develop community-based flood mitigation and disaster prevention strategies. The development of right flood control strategies necessitates a thorough understanding of the risk mechanism. Several interventions can be used at the catchments, drains, and floodplains under socioeconomic and environmental restrictions. The present study is conducted to assess the flood vulnerability of all the 22 districts in the Narmada river basin of India. This report will explore flood mitigation and prevention strategies. To proceed with a risk-based flood management strategy, its essential understand the floodplain's risk features first and afterwards identify the major element to reduce the risk.
