Exploring The Potential Of Latest Fused Techniques For Floodplain Inundation Mapping And Flood Risk Assessment

Abstract

The costs attributed to floodplain in urban areas are high and should be anticipated by experts to avoid these incidences. As cities grow, there is a constant pressure to develop land. Floodplains, unfortunately, are often seen as cheap and readily available space. This puts buildings and infrastructure directly in the path of floodwaters. When floods hit urban areas, the damage can be immense. Homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure can all be submerged, costing billions of dollars in repairs. Additionally, there are human costs: displacement, injuries, and even fatalities. Therefore, remote sensing (RS) tools offer valuable methodology to foresee the Floodplain Inundation areas in urban cities and can be utilized in mapping the risky areas that exposed to severe floods. Thereby is now imperative to investigate the possibilities of RS for flood mapping and how to develop an urban flood risk assessment using techniques based on RS. This research aims to find out the latest works in Floodplain Inundation Mapping and Flood Risk Assessment using RS tools. The review emphasized the importance of integrating more than tools to overcome the drawbacks and increase the accuracy of the flood monitoring that leads the decision-makers make a proper commitment to avoid the costs related to floods. The current research supports the precise tools to enhance devices’ ability to absorb or predict the upcoming events in the future.
