Abstract

GIS has gained considerable importance in engineering applications particularly in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics. The present paper assessed the risk of the Aswan High Dam, AHD breaching, numerically. Flood model was chosen and was selected to be implemented. The outflow hydrograph due to fail of AHD are considered as the output of Abdelhaleem F. study (2011). Then, SOBEK 1D2D model was implemented in order to simulate the flood wave propagation and inundation area in the NileValley.  Geographical Information Systems, GIS tools was used to manage the input and output results, and also was used to produce a precise Digital Elevation Model, DEM to the Nile Valley, Egypt, and implemented in order to determine the banks violation sites together with the inundation of surrounding areas. So the size of expected damage of national main structures, (Railways, roads, airports, etc) within the extension of the study area was identified using GIS spatial database. The final obtained raster maps were handled and analyzed mutually with up-to-date maps of GIS thus more applicable results. The time of flood wave propagations along the Nile was calculated in order to define the time of response for emergency measures to be operated. The results could put forward to a flood management plan and could suggest evacuation plans.
