The article titled “Investigation of Ünye Cevizdere flood disaster with flood inundation and hazard maps,” authored by Abdülbaki HACI, MSc, a technician of the Civil Engineering Department, has been published in the Journal of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Gazi University.
The study examines the flood event that occurred in Ünye Cevizdere on 8 August 2018 using comprehensive hydrological and hydraulic modeling approaches. Watershed delineation and rainfall–runoff simulations were conducted and calibrated with observed data. Two-dimensional hydraulic modeling was then used to determine flood inundation areas and to produce flood hazard maps for different return periods.
In addition, scenarios representing the existing stream conditions were compared with alternative scenarios including flood walls and stream restoration measures. The results provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of structural interventions in reducing flood impacts and support flood risk assessment and mitigation planning.
The department congratulates Abdülbaki HACI on this publication and wishes him continued success in his professional and academic work.
