Article Title: The Study Of Hydrological Model In Implementing Flood Management In Sistan And Balochestan Province (Catchment Area: Dashtyari And Gasrgand) Iran
by Mohammad Anwar Zainudini and Asadollah Sardarzaei

Abstract:
This research conducted over the flood risk management seeks to reduce the risk from flood events to the people who are located in flood prone areas such as; Dashtyari and Gasergand Balochestan. However, there are some level of risk to all locations within the floodplain. The magnitude of that risk as function of the flood hazard, the characteristics of a particular location (its elevation, proximity to the river or coast, and susceptibility to fast-moving flows and surges, etc.), measures that have been taken to mitigate the potential impact of flooding, the vulnerability of people and property, and the consequences that result from a particular flood event. Flooding is the most devastating natural hazard in Balochestan (Makoran) and the recent flooding has demonstrated its severness. Floods are common throughout the all country. But, their characteristics differ from region to region. Flooding behavior of the major basins and flood management at the national level are investigated in this article. Monsoon rainfalls are the main source of floods in the Indus Basin, while Mediterranean Waves and Cyclones, which are generated over the Balochestan, induce flooding.
