Flood forecasting (FF) is one of the most important, challenging problems in hydrology. The purpose of
flood forecasting and warning is acknowledged as the most important non-structural term for reducing flood damage. A
flood forecast system must provide sufficient lead time for communities to respond. Reliability of forecast is to provide as
much advance notice as possible of an impending flood to the authorities and the general public. A forecast has
increased in the modeling capabilities of hydrology and advancements in knowledge for analysis as well as
improvements in data collection through satellite observations. This paper reviews different aspects of flood forecasting,
including the models being used, techniques of collecting inputs and displaying their results, and warnings.
