Flash Floods Control Measures & Mechanisms, Case Study: East Nile Locality, Khartoum

Abstract

This study presents flash floods control and mechanisms in east Nile locality, Khartoum . The study area was described thoroughly, listing all aspects regarding hydrologic properties. Data records obtained from various rainfall record, climate and stream flow measurements were used in the study . In addition, hydraulic structures and underground filters used in maintaining floods were illustrated listing the different types and their method of design . Finally, the recommended measures and mechanisms for controlling flash floods have been applied in the area of study. The hydraulic structures were designed and their proposed locations were shown.
