Hazard zonation maps for floods and landslides help for preparedness. Early
warnings regarding possible occurrence of floods, cyclones, landslides based on
meteorological observations are useful for local administration to plan for relief
measures. Agricultural drought vulnerability assessment helps to explore alternative
cropping practices in addition to insuring the farmer with crop insurance under the
PMFBY welfare scheme. Near-real-time monitoring of disaster through satellite
data improves the response of administrative machinery for crisis management
minimising loss to human life and property.
It is appropriate and the need of the hour that Andhra University College of
Engineering (A) and Indian Society of Geomatics—Visakhapatnam Chapter are
jointly organising an International Conference on Remote Sensing for Disaster
Management (ICRSDM-2017) at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, to
strengthen the disaster management practices by connecting to various research
communities for effective implementation.
I wish the conference a grand success.
Natural Disasters are not new to the Earth. However, the intensity, frequency and
extent of damage and devastation due to disasters are increasing year after year in
spite of many technological developments. Concerted efforts towards creating
public awareness, disaster vulnerability mapping, improved capacity-building and
resilience, and technology-driven management is the need of the day to tackle
disasters and to reduce the loss of human life and property. Satellite remote sensing
with its ability to provide data on Earth’s surface features and process-dynamics in
near-real time through its multispectral and repetitive capabilities is useful to
monitor and thereby mitigate and manage any natural calamity. It is the only
technology that can provide data on pre-event, during the event and post-event
indicators. Thus, with such authentic information from the remotely sensed data,
necessary mitigation measures can be suggested in order to overcome the
recurring/episodic occurrence of the hazards. Remote sensing in conjunction with
GIS and GPS technologies further enriches the decision-making process in disaster
preparedness and mitigation.
The Department of Geo-Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam has
conducted a three-day International Conference on Remote Sensing for Disaster
Management during 11–13 October, 2017 with the main objective of providing a
platform for exchanging ideas and experiences of scientists and experts in the field
of natural and anthropogenic disasters and their management.
Visakhapatnam, the most enchanting city on the east coast of India and a hub of
industrial activity, and is vulnerable to cyclones, coastal erosion and industrial
disasters has provided a perfect setting for the Conference. More than 100 delegates
attended and 78 research papers were presented in the three-day Conference.
The deliberations and scientific discourses during the conference led to several
useful suggestions and recommendations. The Conference has resolved that
large-scale maps based on geospatial technologies should be prepared high-lighting
the erosion prone zones along the sea coast and in the river basins, and landslide
prone zones in the mountain terrains. Such maps showing details in local languages
should be made available by displaying them in public places and governmental

Abstract Water resources of a country constitute mainly surface and ground water,
with rainfall being the basic source. Due to non-uniform variation of rainfall in
India, one region of India receives floods, and the other region is prone to drought.
This situation calls for proper management measures to effective utilization of
available water. Recent floods in large river systems called for the urgent need to
forecast flood conditions and manage the river environment. The author’s study on
identification of flood prone areas of Cauvery river basin, generated flood inun-
dation maps of several recurrence intervals by using hydrologic (SWAT) and
hydraulic (HEC-RAS) models integrated with GIS. Considering this as preliminary
study, a flood forecasting system is planned for Krishna river basin by using GIS
and Meteorological data. A display map will be prepared using ArcGIS, which
includes flood depth, extent of inundation with display maps and this information
will be provided in near real time to concerned authorities for taking necessary
action. These tools can be used to identify affected parcels to prioritize for reme-
diation. This will help further to manage the water resources in an effective manner,
without letting the water into sea or causing submergence to flood plain areas.

frequently affected by severe floods and has suffered from many flood disasters in
terms of the population affected, frequency, extent of inundation and
socio-economic costs. The state of Andhra Pradesh has three major river basins;
among which Krishna is the second largest perennial river basin. The Krishna River
Basin is India’s fifth largest river basin covering an area of 258,948 km2 in
Peninsular India, which is nearly 8% of total geographical area of the country [10].
Most of the Krishna catchment area lies in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka,
Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The river is prone to heavy floods, especially
during the South-West monsoon season (June–September) and occasionally due to
thunderstorms. Due to rapid land use changes, encroachment and sedimentation, the
rivers may not be able to carry the excessive runoff resulting from heavy rains of
high intensity. As a result, the river overflows and water enters the flood plain.
Flood water surface elevation information is important to know the depth of the
flooding. Accurate water surface elevations can be computed using a hydraulic
model. Long-term continuous discharge measurements are available only in few
locations across the Indian River basins. Since the current study is agricultural
watershed, so the flow values at these locations can be simulated using hydrologic
model, SWAT [2] based on landuse practices, crop management, irrigation
scheduling and reservoir operation.
Flood frequency analysis is carried out for the flow values obtained from SWAT
to calculate the flow magnitudes of several recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and
100 years) using a statistical technique known as Log-Pearson type-III distribution
[9]. In order to map the level of flood inundation at different downstream reaches,
water surface profiles are needed at several places along the river reach. But they
are available at very limited places along with stream gauges. Hence, to fill this gap,
a hydraulic model such as HEC-RAS is often used to compute the flow depth at
various locations along the river reach. GIS is used to extract the geometric
information from the digital elevation data for input into a hydraulic model, and
then used to map the current spatial extent of flood waters using a mapping soft-
ware. Flood inundation mapping is one of the vital components in developing flood
mitigation measures especially nonstructural measures. Flood inundation extent and
depth can be found by using a mapping tool called HEC-GeoRAS [8]. Water
surface elevations greater than the terrain elevation are included in the inundation
depth grid.
2 Study Area
The basin is situated between East longitudes 73° 21′ to 81° 09′ and North latitudes
13° 07′ to 19° 25′ in the Deccan Plateau. There are 13 major tributaries which join
the Krishna River along its 1400 km course. About 68% population lives in rural
areas and is dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. There are about 30 major
and medium dams and reservoirs constructed in the Krishna River Basin.
1 GIS Based Management System … 3
The important soil types found in the basin are black soils, red soils, lateritic
soils, mixed soils, saline and alkaline soils. Diversified cropping pattern persists in
the Krishna River Basin. Principal cultivated crops are: paddy, sorghum, corn,
sugarcane, millet, cotton, sunflower, groundnut, turmeric, and a variety of
horticultural crops. The total cultivable area in the basin is about 203,000 km2,
which is equivalent to 78% of the total geographical area of the basin. The current
study is identified from Nagarjunasagar to Prakasam Barrage region as shown in
Fig. 1. The length of the river reach is 188 km.
3 Methodology
from this technique is given as input into a hydraulic model, HEC-RAS to estimate
the water surface profiles. Flood inundation map is generated using HEC GeoRAS
by comparing water surface TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) with DEM, to
compute the water surface elevation in the channel and flood plain. The overall
methodology process is shown in Fig. 2.
The output of the flood modeling is in the form of flood plain map, water surface
profiles. The flow values for several return periods at the outlet point of the
watershed was obtained by using Log Pearson Type-III distribution was plotted in
Fig. 7. It is seen from the results that flood model can simulate the flow profiles for
different flow conditions and the flood plain map shows that how much area
effected due to flood with different return periods. i.e., 2, 10, 25, 50, 100 years.
HEC-RAS provides the user with a large amount of hydraulic information in the
form of flood plain maps and water surface profiles for any station or cross section,
reach, and profile. sample output of flood plain map and water surface profiles of
the region is shown in Fig. 8. The ASTER DEM has a spatial resolution of 30 m,
which is a very coarse resolution for flood inundation mapping. So, for many
sections along the stream, the active channel portion was not clearly discernable.
8 S. Duvvuri
This profile will facilitate to adopt appropriate flood disaster mitigation mea-
sures. The flood profiles for different flood intensities with different return periods
can be plotted at any given cross section of river. Also, such flood profile can be
plotted for entire length of river reach.

Exercise care in laying down a bit; it is easily dulled. Do not use a
good auger bit where there is any danger of its striking nails or other
metal.
Auger bits are easily sharpened, a small file being used, but they
are more easily spoiled by improper filing, and no student should
attempt to sharpen one without having personal direction from his
instructor.
39. The Drill Bit; The Gimlet Bit.—The drill bit, Fig. 77, is quite
hard and may be used for boring
in metal as well as wood. It is easily broken and especial care must
be taken to hold the brace firmly. Do not try to change the direction
of the boring by inclining the brace after the bit has started into the
wood.
Fig. 77.
Fig. 78.
Fig. 79.
In boring hard wood or metal, make a “seat” for the point with an
awl or, in metal with a center punch. Otherwise it is difficult to start
the bit in the exact place.
The gimlet bit, Fig. 78, is used mainly for boring holes for screws.
40. Countersink Bit.—Fig. 79 is an illustration of a rosehead
countersink. This tool is used for enlarging
screw holes made with the gimlet so that the heads of the screws
may sink into the wood even with or below the surface.
41. The Screw-driver Bit.—The screwdriver bit, Fig. 80, is not a
boring tool, but as it is used in
connection with the brace it is inserted here. It will be found
convenient where large screws are to be inserted. Where a large
number of screws are to be inserted it will permit of very rapid work.
Fig. 80.
The cutting edge of the brad awl should be placed across the grain
in starting, and the tool turned half way around and back again,
repeating until the proper depth has been bored. It is withdrawn with
similar turnings. Fig. 81.
Patent spiral screwdrivers and automatic drills have come into
quite common use in recent years. They are used mainly upon light
work; their advantage being the rapidity with which they do their
work.
43. Positions while Boring.—Fig. 82 illustrates the position to be
taken in horizontal boring. The head
of the brace is held steady by bracing the body against the hand
which holds it.
44. Thru Boring.—To avoid splitting the wood around the edge of
the hole when it is desired to make a hole
entirely thru a piece, bore from the face side until the point of the
spur can be felt on the back. Then reverse the position of the board
and, inserting the point of the spur in the hole just made, finish the
boring from the back side. The bit must be held perpendicular to the
surface while boring from the second side, as well as the first, or
some of the edge of the hole will be broken from the first side as the
bit is forced thru.
45. Boring to Depth.—When it is desired to bore to a given depth,
turn the crank of the brace until the lips of the
auger are just ready to cut the surface. With the rule, measure the
distance from the surface of the piece to the grip of the brace. Fig.
85. The brace may then be turned until this distance is diminished by
the amount which represents the desired depth of the hole.
Where many holes of the same depth are to be bored much time
will be saved by cutting a block the length of the exposed part of the
bit when the hole is to the required depth. This can be placed beside
the bit so that the grip will strike it. Fig. 86.

Chisels and Chiseling.

The pressure of the left hand should be so applied that the stone
shall cut straight across the blade. Examine the tool often, being
careful to replace it each time as nearly as possible at the same
angle. Fig. 102 shows the flat bevel which is to be obtained, also the
rounded effect caused by frequent changing of the angle at which
the tool is held.
Angle
20° to 25°
Fig. 102.
To get the tool into proper position, lay it flat on the stone with the
beveled edge resting in the oil which has previously been placed on
the stone. The oil should be drawn to the place where the whetting is
to be done, the back edge of the bevel being used to push and draw
it to place. Gradually raise the handle of the tool until the oil is
expelled from under the cutting edge; it is then in position. Use just
enough oil to keep the surface well moistened where the whetting is
being done.
Rub the chisel back and forth, keeping it at the same angle all the
time. A rocking motion and frequent change of angle will result in a
rounded end instead of a straight bevel. Some workmen prefer to
give the blade a circular instead of the forward and backward
movement.
To remove the feather or wire edge which frequently results from
over-whetting or from grinding, proceed as follows: Hold the tool with
the flat side down, just a little above the stone, with the handle just a
very little higher than the cutting edge. In one stroke push the cutting
edge forward and down on the stone, at the same time lowering the
rear end to a level with the cutting edge. The effect of this movement
is to turn the wire edge under and cut it off. If the first attempt does
not remove it, whet the bevel just enough to turn the edge back on
the flat side and try again. The presence of a feather edge is
detected by rubbing the fingers along the flat side over the cutting
edge. If a still keener edge is desired it may be obtained by the use
of a strop, a piece of leather fastened to a flat surface.
Fig. 104.
Hold the tool as shown in Fig. 104 and draw it toward you several
times. Then hold it with the flat side down and draw it back once or
twice.
The angles of the bevels of a gouge are similar to those of a
chisel. In sharpening, hold the tool at right angles to the edge of the
stone, instead of parallel as with the chisel. Move it lengthwise of the
stone, at the same time rotating the handle so as to give the blade a
circular motion as from A to B, Fig. 105.
