An In-Depth Assessment of Flood Susceptibility using Geo-informatics – A Detailed Review
Abstract: In recent years, the world has faced many disasters, but the effects of floods have received considerable focus due to their harmful consequences. More than half of the global destruction and damage from floods takes place in Asia, leading to loss of life, infrastructure damage, and community panic. The main goal is to improve the understanding of flood hazard management by conducting flood vulnerability assessments. Vulnerability is central to analyzing …

Assessing Urban Surface Runoff Management Using the SWAT Model, GIS, and the Rational Method: A Case Study of Karapakkam
Abstract: Urban surface runoff management encompasses strategies aimed at regulating rainwater flow, reducing urban flooding, enhancing groundwater recharge, and contributing to disaster risk mitigation for sustainable urban development. This study seeks to optimize surface runoff management in urban settings by using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model integrated with geographic information systems (GIS) to minimize flood risks. The research focuses on the peak runoff in Karapakkam, a locality within …

Investigating the Influence of Changing Climate Patterns on Seasonal Water Availability Within Transboundary River Systems
Abstract: Climate change is significantly altering hydrological systems, particularly in transboundary river basins, which are crucial for regional economies, ecosystems, and human well-being. Variations in precipitation patterns, temperature fluctuations, and altered snowmelt are increasing the unpredictability of seasonal water availability, intensifying risks of both water scarcity and flooding. These shifts pose severe challenges to water management, often leading to disputes and complicating regional cooperation among riparian nations. This study investigates the …

Mapping of Dangerous Glacial Lakes by Using Systematic Extraction Approach in Different Catchments of Upper Indus Basin (UIB) Pakistan
Abstract: The glaciers are nature's most valuable fresh water resource for irrigation, industry, and hydroelectric growth, as well as for the present and future needs of millions of people who live downstream. Numerous of the waterways in the HKH region receive a significant percentage of ice melt water from this solid reservoir. Many of the glaciers which consist of massive amount of permanent snow and ice are found to generate several …

Review of Amphibious Structures as A Flood Resilience Strategy Around the World
Abstract: Over time, people have settled in communities that are fluvial flood zones and located at low elevations due to limited access to land, strong cultural ties that continue for generations, and economic factors that make relocation nearly impossible. "Our homes are stitched into the landscape," some say, "we have nowhere else to go." However, when the water continues to invade year after year, these populations face a perpetual threat to …

Rising Temperatures and Surface Mass Loss in Greenland: Implications for Regional Glacier Dynamics and Global Sea Level Rise
Abstract: In Greenland, the ice sheet serves as one of the strongest indicators of global climate change, with consistently rising temperatures driving it toward an even more negative mass balance. Over the last two decades, warmer conditions have exacerbated surface melting, darkened ice, and resulted in feedback stimulating further loss. This study assesses how those temperature trends—particularly during summer peak months—have impacted the stability of Greenland's ice, and then, more importantly, …
