Identification of flood control measures for Kolhapur city

During the month of July and August 2019 Kolhapur Districts in Krishna Sub- basin experienced extreme floods for long duration. According to reports 16.5 lakh cr economical losses had been reported. According to reports climatic changes is one of the factors for nature calamities over the years, indiscriminate pursuit of so-called development had reduced the capacity of catchment area to hold, store and absorb the rainwater. [1] In this research, the area considered is around 10 sq.km (Appro.) which includes the villages as; Nigave Dumala, Vadanage, Kasaba Bawada. To come up with achievable adaptive measure with watershed management for this we did Topographical. Analysis for our sub-watershed by using Curve Number Method. Completion of mathematical check of proposed hypothetical work and hydrological data and analysis of data pre-solution and post-solution. On the bases of the study we suggested some watershed structures like movable barrier, farm pond and percolation pond. Depending on capacity of the structure we can reduce 43% of total discharge from the sub-water shed which is causing flood near Kolhapur city.
