Flash flood-risk areas zoning using integration of decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory, GIS-based analytic network process and satellite-derived information

Researchers developed a GIS-based decision-making model combining multiple criteria — including topography, vegetation, and soil type — to map flash flood risk zones in Golestan province, Iran, identifying 68 villages and roughly 83,595 residents at elevated risk. The framework provides local authorities with a practical tool for flood disaster planning and risk reduction.

Proposing an ensemble machine learning based drought vulnerability index using M5P, dagging, random sub-space and rotation forest models

Researchers applied ensemble machine learning techniques to model drought vulnerability across the state of Odisha, India, using 53 vulnerability indicators across 248 drought-prone villages. The M5P-Rotation Forest model achieved the highest accuracy with an AUC of 0.901, and the analysis found that nearly 38% of the study area showed high to very high drought vulnerability. The study demonstrates the potential of ensemble machine learning approaches for mapping regional drought risk to support better resource management.

Competency of groundwater recharge of irrigated cotton field subjacent to sowing methods, plastic mulch, water productivity, and yield under climate change

Researchers tested different cotton planting methods with and without plastic mulch films, finding that bed planting without plastic mulch produced the highest yield and water efficiency, while climate models predict groundwater recharge will decline significantly by 2050. The study also highlights that plastic mulch films used in agriculture are a known source of microplastic contamination in soil.
