Assessing flash flood occurrences and hazard zones along the mediterranean coasts: a GIS and mapping techniques approach in the Wadi Saf Saf Basin, Northeast Algeria by Amal Maou, Amal Maou, Sabrina Souadnia, Sabrina Souadnia, Khadeijah Faqeih, Afaf AlAmri, Riheb Hadji, Riheb Hadji, Somayah moshrif Alamri, Khaled Harizi, Eman Alamery, Griche Sonia, Griche Sonia, Boubazine Leila, Boubazine Leila, Jamilah Altwaiher

“…The implementation of GIS allows the automated extraction of morphometric parameters from digital elevation models (DEMs) for quantitative analyses, updating, and morphometric study of drainage basins. 22 key morphometric parameters; including stream order, drainage density, bifurcation ratio, elongation ratio, slope, and relief; were derived from remote sensing data and processed through empirical equations tailored to each parameter. The sub-watersheds were evaluated using an index-based scoring system to reflect their relative contribution to flood risk, and the linear overlay technique was employed to produce a comprehensive flash flood hazard (FFH) map. …”
