Floodplain Mapping and Risks Assessment of the Orashi River Using Remote Sensing and GIS in the Niger Delta Region, Nigeria DOI:  https://doi.org/10.30564/jgr.v4i2.3014 Abstract Residents along the shoreline of the Orashi River have yearly been displaced and recorded loss of lives,farmland,and infrastructures. The Government’s approach has been the provision of relief materials to the victims instead of implementing adequate control measures.This research employs Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission and Google Earth imagery in developing a 3D floodplain map using ArcGIS software. The result indicates the drainage system in the study area is dendritic with catchment of 79 subbasins and 76 pour point implying the area is floodplain .Incorporating the 3D slope which reveals that> 8 and <8 makes up 1.15% and 98.85% of the study area respectively confirms the area is a floodplain. Aspect indicate west-facing slope are dark blue, 3D hillshade indicate yellow is very low area and the h...
