Abstract
Geographic Information System (GIS) is an efficient and interactive spatial decision support tool for flood risk analysis. This research describes the ability of ArcView GIS tool to integrate the FLUVIAL-12 hydraulic model within GIS environment. Water surface profiles generated from FLUVIAL-12 are analysed in ArcView GIS to produce flood risk maps for Pari River. The users-friendly menu in the ArcView GIS to enable the users to create, analyse and visualise the flood risk maps, base on the output data from FLUVIAL-12 hydraulic model. The flood risk model is tested using the hydraulic and hydrological data from the Pari River catchment area. The required sediment input parameters spatial data were obtained from Sinnakaudan (2003). The results of this study prove that GIS provides an effective environment for flood risk analysis and mapping.
