Flood Risk Mapping and Analysis of the M’Zab Valley, Algeria

A one-dimensional hydraulic model, combined with spatial tools and remote sensing, successfully mapped flood risks in the M'Zab Valley, Algeria. The study leveraged a high-resolution 2.5 m digital terrain model to identify critical outflow points, pinpointing areas requiring intervention for flood prevention. Field-collected GPS data calibrated the model, demonstrating its effectiveness even in urban contexts. This approach provides actionable insights for mitigating flood risks in vulnerable regions.
