In the recent past, many communities in Owerri have suffered losses as a result of floods. This work utilized Remote Sensing and GIS in flood risk mapping. Data on environmental indices were integrated into a GIS to perform risk/vulnerability assessment. The flood risk map produced and the ground-truthing carried out confirmed that the area with the highest flood risk is located within CBN quarters, Owala, Owaelu in Uratta, Emii and Agbala communities. While areas like Works layout, Federal Government college Teachers quarter, Imo state University Staff School and Amakohia have medium risk of flood hazard. Pointer to flood hazard mapping assessed by administering questionnaire shows that physical location, poor waste management practice, inadequate/poorly constructed roads and drainages, rainfall and poor development control practices, account for 30%, 20%, 20%, 10% and 15% respectively of the response on cause of flood. Field observation was also carried out in the area in order to assess the level of urbanization as well as the trend of development. This project was grouped into chapters chapter one talks about the introduction to the study, chapter two is the literature review, chapter three is the methodology adopted in carrying out this research work, chapter four is the discussion of the study while chapter five is the conclusion and recommendation of the study....Preview Download Preview +Other Surveying and Geoinformatics project topics and materials you might be interested in»Route survey of Umuokoto (assemblies junction) to mechanic village in Owerri west local government area of Imo state»Route survey alignment design and volume computation of Saabo Eleke road from Oranyan junction to Olorunla village, Atiba local government area, Oyo state»Detailed/topographic survey of a section of Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Layout survey of housing area P (pocket) residence in Owerri West local government of Imo state»Application of GIS in mapping the locational pattern of hotels in Owerri municipal»Perimeter survey of Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo state»Route survey of Avu-Oforola road in Owerri West local government area, Imo State»Topographic survey of Ikenegbu girls secondary school Owerri Imo state»Application of GIS in tourism in Owerri»Utility mapping of college of administration and social science studies (CASSS) Kaduna Polytechnic Bye Pass Campus, Unguwan Television, Kaduna State»Electricity distribution information system of Adewole Estate Ilorin, Kwara state using GIS approach»Flood hazard risk and assessment in owerri zone, Imo state»Topographical and detailed survey of a section of Federal Polytechnic Nekede»Infrastructural mapping of part of Narayi and Ungwan pama Chikun local government area Kaduna state»Land information system for Kajuru of Kajuru local government area, Kaduna state
