Discharge Carrying Capacity of River Banks-Validation of model

Abstract

Discharge carrying capacity of river in downstream is one of the important factors responsible for flood in
urban area. This paper present comparison of discharge carrying capacity of river Tapi calculated by developing
programme in Microsoft Excel in aid of visual basic with observed data at various location along river length .
Validation of model shows that calculated discharge is close to observed discharge at respective stations. Output of the
work helps to warn people about flood likely to occur and rescue plan can be prepared to save human lives and valuable
property of low lying area.
