Floods usually cause large-scale loss of human life and wide spread damage to properties. Determining flood zone is the core of flood damage assessment and flood control decision. The aim of this paper is to delineate the flood inundation area and estimate economic losses arising from flood using the digital elevation model data and geographic information system techniques. Flood extent estimation showed that digital elevation model data is very precious to model inundation, however, in order to be spatially explicit flood model, high resolution DEM is necessary. Finally, Analyses for the submergence area calculation accuracy.
