Flood mapping is a research area that involves creating maps and models to predict and assess the extent and potential impact of flooding in a particular area. This includes identifying flood-prone areas, mapping floodplains, and developing flood risk assessments. Flood mapping often utilizes data from various sources, such as topographic maps, satellite imagery, and historical flood records, to better understand and predict flood patterns and trends. The goal of flood mapping is to improve emergency response planning, land use management, and infrastructure development to mitigate the risks associated with flooding.
