Rapid Assessment of Recent Flood Episode in Kaziranga National Park, Assam Using Remotely Sensed Satellite Data
Flooding is considered as the most damaging natural hazard. Continuous population growth associated with changes in land use and climate exacerbates flood hazard, and makes livelihood more precarious. A large part of Assam, a state of northeastern India, experiences devastating flood frequently. The Brahmaputra river, along with its distributaries and tributaries in Assam, causes flood in the monsoon season each year which affects agriculture, human life and properties, wildlife, etc.
