Flood Modeling Training Program Conducted at PDEU for Engineers and Officials

Location: Gandhinagar, Gujarat

• Organized by: Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU)

• Department: Water Resources Engineering, School of Technology

• Training Highlights:

  • The 10-day hands-on training was designed to help engineers and planners create accurate 2D hydrodynamic flood models.

  • Focus areas included Emergency Action Plans (EAPs), Dam Break Analysis, and Image-based Flood Mapping.

  • Participants were trained using HEC-RAS software to simulate both 1D and 2D flood scenarios.

• Attendees:

  • The program saw participation from engineers from various government departments including irrigation, disaster management, and urban planning.

  • Over 20 officials and assistant engineers attended the training sessions.

• Expert Involvement:

  • The sessions were led by experts and senior faculty members from PDEU’s Civil Engineering department.

  • Supervising faculty included Prof. Nirmal Water Resources, Assistant Professors, and external subject specialists.

• Objective:
  To empower engineers with advanced flood modeling skills, helping them in preparedness, emergency planning, and mitigating flood risks in vulnerable areas.
