“…For example, in a cold and dry climate, sea‐level decline makes the river gradient increase, and the river entrenches the river channel and causes headward erosion, forming new geomorphology of the river channel (X. Ma et al, 2019); meanwhile, in a warm and humid climate, sea‐level rise reduces the river gradient, causing the headward deposition of gravel and sediment carried by rivers, and accelerates the development of alluvial plains (Macháček, 2020). In the transitional period between a cold and dry climate and a warm and humid climate, the frequency of floods and droughts will substantially increase, and the state of rivers will change accordingly (Parasiewicz et al, 2019).…”

Rivers are basic natural resources supporting ecosystems and human societies, and the health of rivers is crucial to the Earth's sustainable development. Under the profound influence of climate change and human activities, great changes have recently occurred in the circulation and development of rivers, as well as the ways in which they are utilized. In this context, achieving an effective balance between river protection and human development is necessary. In this paper, the essential role of rivers is discussed from three aspects: the formation and evolution of rivers, the shaping of biodiversity, and the cultivation of human civilization. The paper analyzes the challenges brought to the sustainable development of rivers by climate change, human activities, and increased water demand, and proposes four dimensions of future research: scientifically balancing the relationship between river development and protection, improving the adaptability of river development and utilization in the context of climate change, improving the integrity and intelligence level of river management, and building a more fair and sustainable comprehensive river management model.

“…Low-income households are also more vulnerable to the financial losses caused by flood and drought, due to their heavy reliance on natural resources (De Silva and Kawasaki, 2018). Furthermore, the effects of the ecosystem are directly similar to the frequency and magnitude of flooding and drought (Parasiewicz et al, 2019). Although land-use change effects are highly evaluated (Utamahadi et al, 2018), extreme weather and climate events still have profound significant implications for species and ecosystem management (Maxwell et al, 2019).…”

Indonesia is an archipelagic country located on the equator. The issue of climate change has become a global issue that has impacted several sectors in Indonesia recently. The presence of the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has contributed to conducting studies on flood and drought events. This review paper summarized 16 published papers that have gone through peer-review, both in the form of publications in journals and at conferences. Since the release of the IPCC AR5 to date, ten studies on flooding and six studies on drought events have been conducted. The most publications on this in 2019 were five publications. Of the various types of the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios used with various methods, the most widely used scenario RCPs is RCP4.5. From the climate change scenario, precipitations parameter is the main parameter that is used in assessing flood or drought events. There are studies conducted on a district / city, provincial scale, and some are even carried out on a watershed scale. The location or province that most flood studies have been carried out is in the capital of Jakarta. The results of these studies generally indicate that the incidence of floods and droughts will increase in the future. Therefore, adaptation steps are needed to deal with unfavorable conditions in the future. Moreover, as the capital city, Jakarta has been estimated that the projected flood incidence will increase. Several publications have provided steps to deal with these challenges on the positive side.

“…Explaining and quantifying flood and drought issues together represents a complex yet challenging area of research [17] and requires implicating various methods and indices. The literature on analyzing flood and drought issues discusses different perspectives ranging from water resources [18][19][20], to climate change [21][22][23][24][25][26][27], urban and landscape planning [15,28,29], ecology [30][31][32][33] socio-economy [34][35][36], policymaking [37,38], water quality [39,40] and even abrupt alternation/coexistence [41].…”

The severity and frequency of flood and drought events have increased in recent decades. These climate change-induced and anthropogenic stressors on water resources represent the leading water-related hazards to communities. Further, the increasing exposure of the population and infrastructure to such events has heightened the risks. Assessing the impact scope of these events in different subfields towards comprehensively evaluating the risks requires an unbiased systematic approach. This paper combines content analysis and science mapping to investigate the existing multidisciplinary body of knowledge on analyzing flood and drought together. Searching the literature using selected search terms yielded a sample of 119 publications. Initially, various contents, such as the authors’ keywords, applied methods and indices, and study scale, were extracted from these articles. These contents were then incorporated into the science mapping technique to form communicative networks. Analyzing these publications revealed 13 major research themes, with a sustained focus on hydrological issues. However, a more diverse range of themes was recently revealed, including economy, sociology, insurance, and policymaking. Producing such computational and visual networks explained informative insights that can help further develop both existing and new frameworks to support the management, design and policymaking sectors in responding to both flood and drought events.
