ABSTRACT

Floods are the most devastating of all natural disasters, accounting for about one-third of theeconomic losses and over half of  the deaths associated  with natural disasters worldwide.Flooding in Lagos has become a frequent hazard which is caused by the bad condition of thedrainage systems along the road and the unavailability of water channels to contain excesswater   in   case   of   heavy   rain.   The   flood   problem  is   worsened   with   heavy   rains   and   theblockade of the drainage systems.The study area is the route from University road and Dan Fodio Boulevard, Akoka, Lagos,which is 2.625Km in length. This project aims at investigating the flood flow pattern alongthe study route and provides a flood flow map for the purpose of safe navigation through theroute. So based on this study, the flood damages could be reduced to its minimal amount. Theproject   was   executed   using   Total   Station   Leica   Ts06   with   its   accessories   for   positiondetermination   (X,   Y   and   H   data)   and   Sun   DSC   232   Digital   Level   Instrument   with   itsaccessories for height determination (H data). The acquired data were sorted and processedusing ArcGIS 10.3, Microsoft Excel, Notepad and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2017 software. Theresults obtained were used to produce a flood flow map. From the analysis of the result, itwas deduced that the major cause of flooding along the route are blockage of drainage due tosediment,  the   elevation   model   also   shows   that   the   road   is   at   the   same   height   with   thedrainages and also there is no hole in the drainages in other to channel the flow of water tothe drainage or any other distributaries. Flood forecasting and warning is a prerequisite forsuccessful mitigation of flood damage. Its effectiveness depends on the level of preparednessand correct response.iv
