Causes and consequences of floods: flash floods, urban floods, river floods and coastal floods
Resources Environment and Information Engineering, 2022 Undoubtedly, the flood is known as a natural disaster. But in practice, the flood is considered the most terrible natural disaster in terms of mortality and financial losses. In this regard, a worrying trend is the increasing trend of mortality and flood damage in the world in recent decades.

DIAGNOSTIC OF URBAN FLOODING IN NAIROBI
Under the changing climate conditions and El-Niño in rainy seasons, global reports projected devastating floods in Nairobi. Despite numerous reports and media coverage about the flood impacts on the residents, especially on the urban poor, spatial evidence (e.g., detailed flood modelling) at the city scale is absent.
