URBAN STORM WATER FLOOD MANAGEMENT MODEL KAKINADA CITY
Nomination
- Absence of scientifically derived IDF curves based on high-resolution rainfall data for urban flood planning.
- Lack of calibrated storm water flood simulation for Kakinada city using standardised hydrological models.
- Inadequate evaluation of the existing urban storm water drainage network and flood-prone areas.
- Limited identification of natural flood flow paths across the city affects drainage integration.

Achievements
- Generation of inflow–outflow hydrographs at multiple storm water outlets.
- Mapping of water surface profiles along major storm water drains.
- Feasibility assessment for integrating existing drainage with interflow systems to mitigate flooding.
- Development of spatial flood maps highlighting vulnerable low-lying areas.
- Climate change impact assessment on runoff patterns for a coastal urban setting.
