Levee Break Simulation Sample Tunca River

Öz

River floods results from excessive regional rain or mass snow melting is common throughout the world. Flood is a formation which occurs depending on climactic conditions of the region, geotechnical and topographical characteristics. However, flood damages emerge completely as a result of human activities. Uncontrolled urban activities lasting without any previous measure on the fields under risk is the most important reason of flood disaster in every corner of the world. Although Natural Disasters are experienced frequently in countries where disaster and risk management are carried out successfully; dimensions of these disasters can be predicted and loss of life and property can be minimized as much as possible due to precautions which are preventive and damage decreasing. As a result of making risk maps through modeling and simulation studies about Flood and Overflow which are the most common Natural Disasters, it is possible to determine fields under risk. Therefore, in this study, 2D propagation flood maps of Tunca River passing from Edirne will be determined and analyzed, potential risky terrains will be determined and with a possible scenario flood propagation and water depths are formed. As a result of analysis, it was observed as a result of modeling that floods were stuck within winter walls built between 1955-1957.
