The article explores how to predict floods in urban areas more accurately. Researchers used a mix of detailed and general data to model flood risks in Whitesands, UK. By combining different types of information, they were able to create a model that can predict floods with high accuracy, even with limited data. The study focused on a specific area in Scotland and used maps, field visits, and historical flood data to build and test the model. The findings suggest that this approach can help cities better prepare for and respond to floods.
