Every year riverine flooding affects millions of people in developing countries, due to the large population exposure in the floodplains and the lack of adequate flood protection measures. Preparedness and monitoring are effective ways to reduce flood risk. State-of-the-art technologies relying on s...

Abstract. Climate change is likely to have significant effects on the hydrology. The Ganges-Brahmaputra river basin is one of the most vulnerable areas in the world as it is subject to the combined effects of glacier melt, extreme monsoon rainfall and sea level rise. To what extent climate change wi...

Abstract The lower Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh and Northeast India often floods during the monsoon season, with catastrophic consequences for people throughout the region. While most climate models predict an intensified monsoon and increase in flood risk with warming, robust baseline estimates ...

The Ganga-Brahmaputra basin is highly sensitive to the impacts of climate change and experiences recurrent flooding, which affects large agricultural areas and poses a high risk to the population. The present study is focused on the recent flood disaster in the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin, which mainly ...

Groundwater crisis across the world is a thought-provoking issue and for resolving the problem, it is highly necessary to identify the potential groundwater zones and estimate water yield. The present work intends to identify potential groundwater zone based on ensemble modeling assembling advance m...

Flood-risk management (FRM) is shaped by context: a society’s cultural background; physical possibilities and constraints; and the historical development of that society’s economy, politi- cal system, education, etc. These provide different drivers for change, in interaction with more global develop...

Ensemble learning (EL), an alternative approach in the machine-learning field, offers an accurate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) prediction, which is of paramount significance for the hydrological studies and agricultural water practices. Although the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (PM) equation is rega...

Abstract The groundwater recharge potentiality in Barind Tract in Rajshahi district, Northwest Bangladesh was studied based on Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing technique. In this connection satellite images (Landsat 7 ETM and SPOT) and aerial photos were subjected to several ...

In spite of the immense ecological importance of the wetland, wetland habitats are losing their existence in the floodplain regions. In the present study, we have explored the nature of the physical vulnerability of wetland using logistic regression (LR) and fuzzy logic (FL) approaches for both pre ...
