Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Assessment in Narayani River Basin, Nepal
International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology, 2023 Floods, earthquakes, forest fires, landslides, and other natural hazard are common in Nepal. Among them, the flood is one of the natural disasters and that occurred in the Narayani River basin. The Narayani River Basin's exposures and vulnerabilities are

Global evidence of rapid urban growth in flood zones since 1985
Nature, 2023 Analysis of high-resolution annual data shows that global human settlements have expanded continuously and rapidly into flood zones, with those in the most hazardous zones increasing by 122% from 1985 to 2015.

Flood exposure and social vulnerability in the United States
Natural Hazards, 2021 Human exposure to floods continues to increase, driven by changes in hydrology and land use. Adverse impacts amplify for socially vulnerable populations, who disproportionately inhabit flood-prone areas.

Remote Sensing Methods for Flood Prediction: A Review
Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2022 Floods are a major cause of loss of lives, destruction of infrastructure, and massive damage to a country’s economy. Floods, being natural disasters, cannot be prevented completely; therefore, precautionary measures must be taken by the government ...

Role of dams in reducing global flood exposure under climate change
Nature Communications, 2021 Globally, flood risk is projected to increase in the future due to climate change and population growth. Here, we quantify the role of dams in flood mitigation, previously unaccounted for in global flood studies, by simulating the floodplain dynamics and
