Accra Flood Modelling
Urban Flooding is one of world’s problems in recent times because of its frequent occurrence which results in loss of lives and properties. The first step in flood management is the development of hazard maps.

Flood hazard mapping forms the foundation of the decision-making process by providing information which is essential to the understanding of nature and characteristics of flooding to risk community or city.

Flood modelling is a complex problem and therefore a lot of factors should be considered before the final map showing flood prone areas are produced.
