Abstract

The devastating flood occurrence and its impact on the people have been of great concern to man. Majority of people in Adamawa State live and practice farming on the wetlands which are floodplains. These yearly or seasonal flooding has effect on their social and economic lives. This study adopts Remote Sensing and Cellular Automaton Evolutionary Slope And River (CAESAR) model to determine inundation level and assess vulnerability of settlements in Adamawa State. Flood analysis for low, medium and high flow regimes showed that an average of 134 settlements are at risk. Longitudinal and cross section profiles depict the trend in which sediment loads are transported by flood and presence of boulders along the Benue channel. Sustainable measures such as review of FEPA 1999 flood combat measures, dredging of the Benue and relocation of people living near river banks were suggested for the management of flooding in Adamawa State.
