• Abstract: Ashland City, Tennessee, located within the Lower Cumberland Sycamore watershed, is highly susceptible to flooding due to increased upstream water levels. This study aimed to develop a robust flood prediction model for the city, utilizing water level data at 30-minute intervals from ten USGS gauge stations within the watershed. A Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network, known for its ability to effectively process sequential time-series data, was used. The model was trained, validated, and tested using a year-long dataset (January 2021-January 2022), and its performance was evaluated using statistical metrics including Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Percent Bias (PBIAS), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Coefficient of Determination (R^2). The results demonstrated a high level of accuracy, with the model explaining 98.2% of the variance in the data. Despite minor discrepancies between predicted and observed values, the GRU model proved to be an effective tool for flood prediction in Ashland City, with potential applications for enhancing disaster preparedness and response efforts in Ashland City.

  Flood inundation forecast provides critical information for emergency planning before and during flood events. High-resolution hydrodynamic modeling has become more accessible in recent years, however, predicting flood extents at the street and building levels in real-time is still computationally demanding. We present a hybrid process-based and data-driven machine learning (ML) approach for flood extent and inundation depth prediction.

  Low-lying coastal cities, exemplified by Norfolk, Virginia, face the challenge of street flooding caused by rainfall and tides. High-fidelity, physics-based simulations provide accurate predictions of urban pluvial flooding, but their computational complexity renders them unsuitable for real-time applications. This study compares the performance of a surrogate model based on a random forest algorithm with two deep learning models: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful machine learning prediction models on graph-structured data. GNNs lack rigorous uncertainty estimates, limiting their reliable deployment in settings where the cost of errors is significant. We propose conformalized GNN (CF-GNN), extending conformal prediction (CP) to graph-based models for guaranteed uncertainty estimates.

  This work reconstructs streamflow time series data through bias correction of the GEOGloWS ECMWF streamflow service forecasts. We show by simulating missingness in a testing period that GESS forecasts have a significant bias that results in low predictive skill over the ten Beninese stations. The findings of this work provide a basis for integrating global GESS streamflow data into operational early-warning decision-making systems.
