Description

Since the most economic-agricultural activities in
areas adjacent to the river is in flood plains, including a
discussion on the management of these areas is the considerable,
zoning map has an important effect on flood management, The
right of the river bed, and the economic feasibility of
development projects, forecast, warning and rescue operations
and flood insurance could be included. Using computer models
and using geographic information systems incorporating GIS as
well as hydraulic and hydrologic models are the common
methods of floodplain zoning maps. There are a variety of
different performance capabilities and access to the data
required by this model, so that we have to choose the best
software related to that model. In this article, we try to introduce
a few well-known models for floodplain zoning maps; some of the
capabilities and applications are considered by some approaches.
At the end, we express the factors that are affecting the accuracy
of results.
