“…These are corroborated by other observations made in Israel by . Nevertheless, the arrival of a bore has often been fatal for people caught unawares (Hjalmarson, 1984). This is undoubtedly because the time of rise of the flood hydrograph is short.…”

“…The process has been quantified by Renard and Keppel (1966), Burkham (1970) and Butcher and Thornes (1978) for streams in Arizona and Spain, and noted in many other instances (such as Murphey, Lane and Diskin, 1972;Reid, Best and Frostick, 1989).

“…The mean flood-wave velocity of that event was recorded as 0.85 ms-'. Hjalmarson (1984), in his study of a flash flood in Tanque Verde Creek, Tucson, Arizona, reported that the highest flood marks were at 2.7-4.6 m above the channel bed with flood flow velocities in the narrow canyon in excess of 4.3 ms-' . Walters (1989) found similar hydrograph characteristics in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia, and suggested that Figure 2 Typical arid region hydrographs, extracted from Abdulrazzak et al (1989) at University of British Columbia Library on June 16, 2015 ppg.sagepub.com Downloaded from the short duration of the hydrograph reflects the high rate of infiltration into the wadi bed sediments, and the absence of base flow.…”

Hydrological data are lacking in arid regions for a variety of reasons, making emprical methods of flood estimation unsatisfactory. Physically based models which are calibrated in the field using measurements of soil hydrological properties offer a viable alternative modelling strategy, and this article reviews the main elements required in such an approach. These include coupled submodels of 1) infiltration and runoff production; 2) overland flow routing; 3) channel routing to propagate flood waves down wadis beyond runoff source areas; and 4) transmissison losses into wadi beds. Examples are presented of flood simulations using a new physically-based model with such a structure. The role of both coarse-grained (bed material) and fine-grained (slackwater deposit) sediments in wadis in providing additional evidence of flood magnitudes is also discussed, and a methodology is suggested in which physical modelling and sedimentological analyses are combined.

“…One of the commonly occurring disasters is flooding [13] which usually occurs when a river bursts its bank or when there is a great deal of heavy rainfall [14]. It has some principal types: Areal type floods can happen on flat or low lying areas when water is supplied by rainfall or snowmelts [15], riverine type floods occur in all types of rivers and mostly flash floods occur in small rivers [16,17], estuarine and coastal type occur along sea shores due to breaching of bank shores [18].…”

The present study aims to explore the aftermath of the September 2014 floods in some areas of Srinagar. A questionnaire based survey was conducted in three severely impacted areas of Srinagar (Bemina, Rajbagh, Shivpora). Although there were no cases of bereavement but majority of the families suffered huge loss of economy. However, Bemina suffered from huge loss of livelihood (50%) as compared to other study areas. As the flood fury was believed to occur almost after 100 years, the pre-preparedness was not thus well executed. Post flood health problems were primarily caused due to contact with the contaminated water, growth of mould and dampness in buildings resulting in physical injuries, acute illness (gastro intestinal problems, skin infections, respiratory problems), chronic diseases (hyper tension, asthma, diabetes) and ill mental health (agitated behaviour, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, suicidal thoughts, upsetting thoughts/dreams and over smoking).
