Mapping flood-prone areas’ sensitivity to extreme rainfall is crucial for disaster risk reduction. Using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy AHP methods with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, including factors like slope, elevation, precipitation, land use, and vegetation indices, enhances disaster preparedness. This approach...

This study aims to predict land use and land cover (LULC) changes for the years 2030 and 2050 using Markov models, and subsequently assess the impacts of these changes on water resources in the Wadi Soummam watershed, Algeria, employing the HEC–HMS model. The research compares five LULC maps (2005, 2015, 2020, 2030, and 2050) to identify variations...

Effective disaster management heavily relies on accurate flood susceptibility mapping. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is adept at considering the imprecise nature of decision-making criteria. This study assesses FAHP's effectiveness in flood susceptibility mapping, comparing it with the conventional analytic hierarchy process (AHP). By...

Hydrological modeling is a critical and decisive technique for estimating hydrological processes and the availability of water resources. In our research, we used Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS), a 4.4 version, to achieve the affected goals, and a watershed in the east of Algeria, known as Rhumel Smedou watershed, was chosen as a case study wh...

Water erosion in general is considered a natural danger that worsens with passing of years, and this is in the absence of human awareness and taking the necessary preventive measures to manage areas exposed to erosion. Most studies on water erosion have been subject to one framework, which is the evaluation of water erosion. This research contribut...

The current research examines the runoff response in the Bouhamdane watershed in Algeria using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT). The SWAT model is applied for the Bouhamane watershed, which includes three sub-watersheds and 45 Hydraulic Response Units (HRUs). To assess the ability and effectiveness of the model, one-gauge station in the ba...

Land use and land cover changes in coastal cities can influence drainage systems in ways that affect surface overflows and the infiltration potential of a land surface, making flooding one of the drivers. This research aims to demonstrate the spatiotemporal dynamics of LULC and their combined impact on rainfall and flood height in Skikda, Alge-ria....

Disaster risk reduction has become a global consensus and an integral part of sustainable development. The built environment can mitigate or exacerbate the spread of flood risks and help to achieve resilience. This paper questions the characteristics of resilient urban forms to adapt to flood risks in urban areas. This concern was analysed using a...

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters brought on by climate change in North Africa. The occurrence of flood risk is due to a combination of natural and man-made variables, necessitating a better knowledge of its spatial scope. The goal of this study is to locate and map flood-prone regions in the Cheliff-Ghrib watershed. Within...

Under conditions of global warming and climate change, several phenomena have emerged in recent decades that would cause an imbalance in the Earth's hydrological cycle. All this resulted in the land being exposed to waves of droughts in various regions in the world, and among these North African regions. We chose the Soumam Watershed as a case stud...

Analyse and mapping of Spatio-Tomporal variability of rainfall

Under climatic changes and irregular demographic growth, Algeria has known many floods, which necessitated the necessity of restoring water in the study of some parameters that would be necessary inputs for some hydrological and hydraulic models. Flood phenomena, erosion phenomena, and even in some cases deterioration of the quality of surface wate...

In recent decades, Algeria has experienced rapid and irregular demographic growth, and this irregular change has inevitably led to periodic floods threatening human life. Urbanization, an anthropogenic cause, is rapidly evolving and has been considered as a non-negligible part in altering land use and land cover (LULC), despite the fact that precip...

In the recent decades, Algeria has experienced rapid and irregular demographic growth. This irregular change led to the increase of impermeable surfaces com-pared to permeable surfaces that inevitably lead to periodic floods threatening human life. In this article, we seek to deduce the true value of runoff in the city of Guelma, located in the Nor...

The problem of natural hazards in general and, in particular, floods are among the most common among the peoples of the world in general and Algeria in particular, especially through recent flood incidents. The weather-related floods in the Soummam Valley are the most feared natural hazard for the people living on its shores, the latter becoming in...
