Abstract:

This book analyzes the nature of floods in many geographical settings and explores the multiple factors that influence flooding in different regions. The tool identifies regions at risk of flooding in various types of terrain and offers significant information on the human-made, geographical, hydrological, and geomorphological factors that contribute to flooding. This information is crucial for implementing effective and sustainable strategies to manage flood risks. The book also examines the repercussions of avalanches, global warming, and flash floods in various locations where these forms of flooding have grown increasingly prevalent. Furthermore, the volume includes case studies that assess the consequences of floods in both natural and artificial settings. 

The book integrates sophisticated geospatial tools and methodologies with indigenous knowledge to enhance comprehension and control of floods. The book combines machine learning and multiple-criteria decision analysis to evaluate the vulnerability of floods by integrating technology and indigenous knowledge. The book additionally incorporates tactics for effectively handling flood hazards and showcases real-life examples that exemplify the most effective approaches to flood risk management.
