摘要:Flood impact is one of the most significant disasters in the world. Floods are due to natural factors such as heavy rainfall, high floods and high tides, etc., and human factors such as blocking of channels or aggravation of drainage channels, improper land use, deforestation in headwater regions, among others. With the increasing use of GIS, HEC-RAS and digital databases in the floodplain mapping and management processes, the present paper develops a simplified one-dimensional model applied to the Sidi Ifni basin. This approach allows visualizing and quantifying the results in a spatial format. A Digital elevation Model (DEM) was used to create hydraulic model geometry data. The computational procedures were based on a 1D energy equation for steady flow water surface profile calculations. Flows were assessed from a frequency analysis of the only gauging station data. The results have shown that the return period of the observed floods 1985, 2002 and 2015 is respectively about 20-year, 10-year and 50-year, a lateral overflow of the decadal and centennial floods where the maximum water depth is 6.78m for Q (10) and 6.96 m for Q (100). The results obtained can be useful to guide the development plan of the Sidi Ifni city, which is growing.
