Abstract
 Flooding Analysis Strategy Using GIS Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Steve Ramroop Flooding is a common phenomenon which is invariably influenced by man's co-existence with nature. The level of the co-existence defines the extent and magnitude of flooding. The behavior of local communities and the provision of its drainage infrastructure determine how well flooding is controlled during times of inclement weather conditions. In this paper is presented an unexplored strategy which is aimed at assisting the decision making processes in a sample area of the island of Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) which is prone to flooding. The strategy is investigated using the ArcGIS software together with the Arc Hydro extension which is geared to support water resource applications. In this strategy use is made of existing data sets that generates new data sets such as DEMs, drainage basins, flood prone areas, and such like which are all used in the definition of a flooding analysis strategy for T&T.
