CONCLUSION 
The remote sensing data or technique is only suitable for 
identification of flood prone areas if and only if assumption is made that 
flood characteristics is change with the changing of the land use pattern. 
Urdoubtly the flood characteristics will be effected but to produce a 
numerical relationship is a tedious task. More studies should be 
performed so that, for example, how the flood characteristics will be 
effected when changes in percentage of primary forest coverage. For the 
time being only relative studies (such as risk probability analysis) can 
be performed.
