Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the loss from the flood by the analysis of the causes of the alternations of channel and overflowed banks. We ourselves reproduce the causes of flood, which is linked to the mismanagement of potential resources that can play supporting or elastic roles under the unforeseeable situations. That is, natural disaster like flood can be
