Flood is a natural calamity and causes damage of life and property devastation. The main objective of this study was to analyse flood hazard and inundation area mapping of Paravanar sub-Basin. Flood generating factors, like elevation, slope, drainage density, rainfall, soil type and land use were analyzed and delineated flood zones using Geospatial techniques and multi criteria evaluation. The flood generating factor was computed by data integration, floodplain depiction, mapping, and evaluation. Various parameters such as Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), Normalized difference build-up index (NDBI), Normalized difference water index (NDWI) were acquired for performing Regression Analysis. This information can be further utilized for hydro-meteorological figures and Surge forecast. These data can be used in building hazard and risk maps for pre-flood prediction. The flood hazard threats in the southeast and in between southeast and west part of the Paravanar River basin are high flood hazard threat zone.
