This paper provides an overview of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) applications in
managing water-related disasters (WRD). Although MCDA has been widely used in …

With climate change and rapid urbanization, the prevalent flood disasters and associated
risks in urban areas have become increasingly crucial global issues. Risk assessment is a …

The flood risk is a function of the flood hazard, the exposed values, and their vulnerability. In
addition to extreme hydrological events, different anthropogenic activities such as extensive …

Urban flooding has been an alarming issue over the past years in Asia and other countries.
Pakistan has been experiencing such flooding with associated damages regularly …

Many international river basins are likely to experience increasing water scarcity over the
coming decades. This water scarcity is not rooted only in the limitation of resources, ie the …

Floods are one of the most frequent and disruptive natural hazards that affect man. Annually,
significant flood damage is documented worldwide. Flood mapping is a common preimpact …

The scientific literature has focused on uncertainty as randomness, while limited credit has
been given to what we call here the “seventh facet of uncertainty”, ie lack of knowledge. This …

In several regions, but especially in semi-arid areas, raising frequency, duration and
intensity of drought events, mainly driven by climate change dynamics, are expected to …

The couplings of convolutional neural networks (CNN) with random forest (RF), support
vector machine (SVM), long short-term memory (LSTM), and extreme gradient boosting …

In this paper, a set of GIS-based tools is presented that combines information from hydraulic
modelling results, spatially varied object attributes and damage functions to assess flood …
