Flood Prediction
Description
The dataset used for this analysis includes various features that impact flood occurrence and severity. These factors cover environmental and human influences, such as: MonsoonIntensity: Heavy monsoon rainfall raises flood risks. TopographyDrainage: Efficient drainage reduces flooding by managing rainwater flow. RiverManagement: Proper river maintenance (dredging, bank stabilization) improves water flow and mitigates floods. Deforestation: Tree loss decreases soil absorption, increasing runoff and flood risks. Urbanization: Impermeable surfaces (asphalt, concrete) prevent water infiltration, heightening flood risks. ClimateChange: Extreme precipitation patterns due to climate change contribute to flooding. DamsQuality: Well-maintained dams regulate floods, while poor infrastructure can cause failures. Siltation: Sediment buildup in rivers reduces drainage capacity, increasing flood susceptibility. Agricultural Practices: Intensive farming can degrade soil, increasing runoff and flood risks. Encroachments: Construction on floodplains disrupts natural water flow, worsening floods. IneffectiveDisasterPreparedness: Weak emergency response systems amplify flood damage. DrainageSystems: Well-designed drainage prevents water accumulation and mitigates flood risks. CoastalVulnerability: Low-lying coasts face flooding from storm surges and sea-level rise. Landslides: Unstable slopes contribute to landslides, which can trigger floods. Watersheds: Their impact on flooding varies based on environmental conditions. DeterioratingInfrastructure: Blocked culverts and damaged drainage systems increase flooding. PopulationScore: Densely populated areas suffer more damage from floods. WetlandLoss: Wetlands absorb excess water, reducing flood risks. InadequatePlanning: Poor urban planning heightens flood vulnerability. PoliticalFactors: Corruption and lack of investment worsen flood management. FloodProbability: The likelihood of floods occurring, serving as the target variable.
