Flood susceptibility mapping in the Tongo Bassa watershed through GIS, remote sensing and frequency ratio model
Valentin Brice Ebodé
Abstract:Flooding constitutes a major problem for the inhabitants of Douala City in general and those of the Tongo Bassa watershed (TBW) in particular. Faced with this situation, public authorities need to put in place measures to mitigate the vulnerability of populations to these disasters. This article aims to map flooding risk areas in the TBW using geographic information system (GIS), field data (historical flood points), remote sensing data (Sentinel II image) and frequency ratio (FR) model. Six independent variab… Show more
