Integrated morphometric and machine learning-based flood risk assessment in the Rangit river sub-watersheds, Eastern Himalayas
This study analyzed the Rangit River Basin's morphometry to assess flood risk. Six sub-watersheds (SW1-SW6) were prioritized via morphometric parameters. SW1, SW4, and SW5 are high priority. A Random Forest ML model (24 variables) created a flood risk map. The results aid flood mitigation efforts.
