Flood Defense Standard Estimation Using Machine Learning and Its Representation in Large-Scale Flood Hazard Modeling

Gang Zhao et al.

Summary: We propose a machine learning-based approach to estimate the flood defense standard (FDS) for unlabeled sites. RFR performed better than MLR in characterizing the relationship between FDS and explanatory factors. RFR revealed river flood factors had higher importance and achieved the highest performance using all factors for prediction.

The challenge of unprecedented floods and droughts in risk management

Heidi Kreibich et al.

Summary: Risk management can reduce the impacts of floods and droughts, but faces difficulties in managing unprecedented events of a greater magnitude. Improved risk management and integrated management can help lower the impacts of more hazardous events.

Beyond just floodwater

Jim Best et al.

Summary: Flooding, the largest hazard facing humankind, is becoming more frequent and affecting more people. Adapting to floods requires considering not only water, but also the effects of sediment movement, reimagining flooding through a sociogeomorphic lens, and expanding approaches to understanding floods.

Urbanizing the floodplain: global changes of imperviousness in flood-prone areas

Konstantinos M. Andreadis et al.

Summary: Urbanization has significantly increased floodplain encroachment globally, especially in the most hazardous areas. These findings reveal the scope and trajectory of global floodplain encroachment, with significant implications for flood risk management.

GeoDAR: georeferenced global dams and reservoirs dataset for bridging attributes and geolocations

Jida Wang et al.

Summary: Dams and reservoirs are widespread human-made infrastructures, but there is a lack of comprehensive spatial inventories for them. Existing datasets either focus on dam quantity and spatial coverage or detailed attributes for limited dams. To bridge this gap, researchers have introduced a new dataset, GeoDAR, which provides spatially explicit information for dams and reservoirs worldwide. This dataset is expected to have significant implications for hydrologic modeling, water resource management, ecosystem health, and energy planning.

The changing face of floodplains in the Mississippi River Basin detected by a 60-year land use change dataset

Adnan Rajib et al.

Summary: Floodplains provide essential ecosystem functions, but the majority of them have been substantially modified. Long-term land use data is crucial for supporting decision-making and management of floodplain restoration and conservation.

High-resolution urban change modeling and flood exposure estimation at a national scale using open geospatial data: A case study of the Philippines

Brian A. Johnson et al.

Summary: Many developing countries in Asia are facing rapid urban expansion in climate hazard prone areas. In order to support climate resilient urban planning efforts, a methodology for simulating future urban land-use changes and evaluating potential flood exposure at a high spatial resolution and national scale was proposed. The case study in the Philippines revealed that climate resilient land-use plans and flood mitigation infrastructure should be developed/enforced in areas with high rates of future urban development in flood prone regions.

Satellite imaging reveals increased proportion of population exposed to floods

B. Tellman et al.

Summary: Satellite imagery from 2000 to 2018 indicates that the proportion of global population exposed to floods is increasing, highlighting the importance of investing in flood adaptation strategies to reduce loss of life and livelihood. Changes in where and how floods occur, as well as the population exposed, are being influenced by urbanization, flood mitigation infrastructure, and settlements in floodplains. The high spatial and temporal resolution of satellite observations will enhance understanding of flood changes and adaptation methods.

An extremeness threshold determines the regional response of floods to changes in rainfall extremes

Manuela Brunner et al.

Summary: In a warming climate, precipitation extremes are expected to increase, but the response of flood magnitudes to heavier precipitation events remains unclear. This study found a 'return interval threshold' where increases in extreme precipitation frequency and magnitude clearly lead to increased flood magnitudes, suggesting a reconcilation between climatological and hydrological perspectives on changing flood risk in a warming climate.
