Abstract
Most computer models used in the flood risk analysis of rivers have inadequate functions in its spatial analytical capabilities and without sediment transport simulation capacity or suitable equations to represents
correctly in-situ hydraulic processes (Sinnakaudan et al., 2001, Sinnakaudan, 2003). Further more, the consistent deficiencies of these models are their inability to connect the information describing the
water profiles with their physical locations on
the land surface. This is where a Geographic Information System (GIS) becomes a valuable tool in spatial modeling for engineers, planners and geoscientist (Burrough, 1998;
Sinnakaudan et.al, 2003).
