Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleEmpirical Literature Review on the Menace of Floods on Food SecurityJohn Aloba Atubiga, Eric DonkorFlooding has become one of the most topical natural hazards affecting human livelihoods, especially in the agricultural sector. Its frequency and severity have become a matter of concern to many nations, especially sub-Saharan Africa. This is because the economies of these countries are agriculturally driven which is sensitive to climatic changes. The impact is felt more among subsistence farmers who … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2022 · 6,310 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFlood Vulnerability Mapping to Riverine Floods: A Study on the Old Brahmaputra RiverMuhammad Rezaul Rakib, Md. Nurul Islam, Muhammod Nazrul IslamFlood is an inevitable natural phenomenon occurring from time to time in all rivers and natural drainage systems of Bangladesh. It causes damage to lives and natural resources as well as the loss of economy and health. This study illustrates the flood vulnerability mapping to riverine floods in the Old Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh Sadar upazila. The flood vulnerability mapping … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2017 · 14,128 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExponential Smoothing Method of Base Flow Separation and Its Impact on Continuous Loss EstimatesGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeThe calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,484 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Rainfall Forecasting Using Sequential Momentum-Based Artificial Neural Networks for Urban Flood ManagementSherin K K, G. SuganthiUrban floods cause severe disruption in densely populated cities and damage essential public infrastructure. Rapid urbanization and weak drainage systems further increase the risk during heavy rainfall. Accurate short-term rainfall forecasting is required to support early warning and reduce losses. This research focuses on improving rainfall prediction accuracy using an Artificial Neural Network trained with a new optimizer named Sequential … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 9 Apr 2026 · 1,539 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystematic Literature Review of Graph Neural Networks in Disaster Management: Methods, Applications, and Future DirectionsSularno, Wendi Boy, Putri Anggraini et al.The increasing frequency and complexity of natural disasters underscore the urgent need for intelligent systems that support timely and effective decision-making. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful deep-learning paradigm for modeling spatial and relational data, offering distinct advantages for disaster management. This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of GNN-based approaches for disaster mitigation, emergency response, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2026 · 2,036 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Impact of Topography on Flooding in Owerri North, Imo State, Nigeria Using GIS and Remote Sensing TechniquesSylvanus Ibeabuchi IroThe aim of this study is to analyze the topographical contribution to floods in Owerri, North Imo State, Nigeria. Research was carried out to ascertain whether topographical elements played a role in the flooding in specific areas of Owerri North. As a result, very little research has looked at the effects of topography on flooding. Thus, there is a barrier … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2025 · 7,197 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing Food Security through Flood Recession Farming: A Case Study of the Upper East Region, GhanaJohn Aloba Atubiga, Alobit Baba AtubigaSustainable Development Goals one and two aim at reducing poverty and eradicating hunger by the year 2030. However, the realization of these goals, especially among subsistent farmers in Africa, is marred by the occurrence of climatic events such as floods and drought which have retarded crop production in the sub-region. This means that there is a need to explore other … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2022 · 5,649 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Analysis of Environmental Risk ConditionersBarbara Carla Coelho Batista, João Victor Dutra Balboa, Caio Vincenzo Reis Dima et al.The intense urbanization process since the 1970s, coupled with the lack of adequate housing and social policies, has led large urban centers to disordered occupations and situations of geotechnical risk. These occupations were not implemented in a technically correct manner from the point of view of civil engineering, considering landscaping, drainage and paving, as well as edification. Areas at risk … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 16 Oct 2020 · 6,794 accessesView PDF Cite
