    This document outlines a proposed M.Sc. thesis on flood estimation in ungauged basins in South Regional State, Ethiopia. The proposal will assess flood magnitude and frequency in the Abaya-Chamo basin through data collection, analysis of hydrological and meteorological data, soil and vegetation mapping, and rainfall-runoff modeling. The expected outputs are estimated flood magnitude and frequency curves, relationships between rainfall and runoff, and methods for flood prevention. The proposal provides a schedule and financial breakdown for the research.

    M.Sc. THESIS PROPOSAL


    ON
    FLOOD ESTIMATION IN UNGUAGED BASINS
    OF SOUTH REGIONAL STATE
    (A CASE STUDY IN ABAYA- CHAMO BASIN)

    1. Back ground

    1.1. Introduction
    Flood is one of the worst natural catastrophes in the world, in terms of number of deaths
    and economical losses.
    Reliable estimates of the magnitude and frequency of floods are needed by state and
    local designers and managers. The design of high way, delineation of flood plain and
    flood prone areas, management of water- control structure and management of water
    supplies are all activities that require estimation of flood frequency distribution and
    flood events.

    2. Problem Statement
    Now a days, Ethiopia is frequently attacked by flood hazards and because of this so
    many lives and properties are lost. The loss would have been minimized if flood prone
    areas are identified and the extent of flood is estimated.
    Hence, the problem related to flood is crucial and important and therefore flood
    estimation is necessary to prevent and predict the damage.

    3. Objectives
    To assess and to estimate the magnitude flood.
    To determine flood characters tics such as intensity, severity and frequency.
    To determine hydrological parameters, variables and other related issues with
    respect to flood in the basin.
    Rainfall intensity maps covering the basin.
    To address the extent of flood magnitude in the basin.

    4. Material and Methodology

    4.1. Data collection


    Collections of various relevant data of the basin are very significant.
    The data needs to be collected are:-
    Hydrological and metrological data
    Geological and hydro-geological data
    Soils and vegetation characteristics data of the surrounding ecosystem

    4.2 Methodology

    The methodology that will be followed mainly focuses on the analysis of the collected
    data. This includes:

    Metrological, geological
    Hydrological data
    Mapping the soil and vegetation characteristics of the basin.
    Determination of flood magnitude is analyses through modeling

    5. Expected output
    Estimated flood magnitude and frequency in the basin.
    Developed rainfall run of relationship of the basin.
    Possible methods of prevention of flood hazards in the basin.
