Özet

Uncontrolled urbanization and inadequate infrastructure result in frequent flooding. Flood disaster affects life negatively and cause loss of life and property. Flood model development has crucial importance to mitigate flood hazard and to prevent loss of life. Especially, it is necessary to model the streams passing through urban areas and to generate flood inundation maps. Moreover, existing flood inundation map should be updated by considering land use change in urban areas. Engineering structures such as bridges, culverts or retaining walls should be reconstructed utilizing the flood maps, if they are not enough to carry maximum flowrate in the stream. In addition, the current settlement areas having flood risk near the streams should be moved to safer areas with the guidance of the flood maps. In this study, the flood disaster occurred on August 11, 2021 in Ezine (in Kastamonu Province) and Ayancık (in Sinop Province) Streams are examined. For this purpose, firstly, the hydrologic-hydraulic models for each stream watershed are constituted by using Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) and Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), respectively. Then, the flood inundation maps are presented via Watershed Modeling System (WMS). The model flood depths are compared with the images and videos taken during the flood event to validate the models. Finally, the reasons that cause the flood disaster in Bozkurt and Ayancık Districts and the precautions to mitigate the flood risk are discussed.
