“…Flood is the most destructive natural hazard in the world. It adversely impacts the environment and human life, especially in flood-prone areas, causing environmental, societal, and economic losses such as water pollution, crop failure, casualties, health problems due to water-borne and vector-borne diseases, infrastructure damages (e.g., buildings, roads, power supplies, telecommunications), and economic activity disruption (Rosyidie, 2013;Bubeck et al, 2017;Kheradmand et al, 2018;Sholihah et al, 2020;Merz et al, 2021). It was estimated that around 21 million people are affected by river floods worldwide annually, and the number can increase to 54 million people in 2030 due to climate change and socio-economic development (Ward et al, 2013;Winsemius et al, 2013;Luo et al, 2015).…”
