Abstract:

Bihar is a state more prone to flood because of which it requires strategies and plans to mitigate floods for upcoming future events. The analysis by the past events for the future floods have not proven to be not providing a suitable base for future flood mitigation plans because of sudden climate chan ge anthropogonic activity. In this project we are considering flood causative criteria and climate change scenario (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) to provide a robust frame for policy makers, emergency planners and flood mitigation authority to have a better overvie w for future events as we have found for RCP 4.5 the maximum daily rainfall per year will tend to increase but consecutive wet days will decrease suggesting more occurrence of extreme events following 20mm and 10mm rainfall days to be decreasing significan tly for next 100 years. For upcoming years due to southward shift of monsoon there will be a change in flooding which will also give a better understanding for future proving the flood mitigation plan and policy state and national level these scenarios wil l be mor aggressive if the scenario change to RCP 8.5. flood risk analysis should be done keeping the susceptibility mapping and future climate so as to future proof the mitigation plans.
