“…Secondly, embankment construction is a crucial engineering measure for addressing river problems, playing a role in improving the ecological environment of rivers and enhancing flood control and drainage capabilities [12][13][14]. Additionally, non-engineering measures have emerged for urban flood control and disaster reduction, such as improving emergency management systems, establishing flood forecasting and warning systems, and strengthening flood disaster management [15][16][17][18]. These non-engineering measures play a role in reducing losses from urban waterlogging.…”

In recent years, urban waterlogging disasters have become increasingly prominent. Physically based urban waterlogging simulation models require considerable computational time. Therefore, rapid and accurate simulation and prediction of urban pluvial floods are important for disaster prevention and mitigation. For this purpose, we explored an urban waterlogging prediction method based on a long short-term memory neural network model that integrates an attention mechanism and a 1D convolutional neural network (1DCNN–LSTM–Attention), using the diversion of the Jinshui River in Zhengzhou, China, as a case study. In this method, the 1DCNN is responsible for extracting features from monitoring data, the LSTM is capable of learning from time-series data more effectively, and the Attention mechanism highlights the impact of features on input effectiveness. The results indicated the following: (1) The urban waterlogging rapid prediction model exhibited good accuracy. The Pearson correlation coefficient exceeded 0.95. It was 50–100 times faster than the InfoWorks ICM model. (2) Diversion pipelines can meet the design flood standard of a 200-year return period, aligning with the expected engineering objectives. (3) River channel diversion significantly reduced the extent of inundation. Under the 30-year return period rainfall scenario, the maximum inundation area decreased by 1.46 km2, approximately equivalent to 205 international standard soccer fields.
