Article Abstract
This study elaborately manifests a simplified Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) approach that goals to determine the disparity among the distances between the positive and negative ideal solutions. MCDM methods evaluate options based on a variety of criteria by using mathematical and analytical methodologies. This promotes a more transparent and objective decision-making process by removing human biases and subjective judgements. By considering the comparative proximity to the optimal situation, TOPSIS considers the distances between the ideal and the negative-ideal alternatives. This study has concentrated on the normalization process, the appropriate determination of the ideal and the anti-ideal solution, and the metric utilized to compute the euclidean distances from the ideal best and the ideal worst.•This study expresses the simplified TOPSIS methodology as stated by Hwang and Yoon (1981). The categorization and weight assignments of the criteria have been executed from the expert's opinion and based on existing literatures.•Integration of the TOPSIS technique with GIS has been properly performed for the production of a flood susceptibility map of a highly vulnerable region and visual interpretation of the TOPSIS algorithm.•This kind of investigation saved time by sufficiently skilled specialized personnel in this field.

Catastrophic climate events such as floods significantly impact infrastructure, agriculture, and the economy. The lower Gandak River basin in India is particularly flood-prone, with Bihar experiencing annual losses of life and property due to massive flooding. Identifying flood-prone zones in this region is essential.

Floods are among the most damaging natural disasters, posing significant threats to socio-economic stability and environmental sustainability. This study addresses an important research gap by evaluating flood susceptibility in a small watershed (< 500 km), where no detailed susceptibility mapping has been conducted before. Flood susceptibility in the Triyuga Watershed, Nepal, was evaluated using three statistical models: Frequency Ratio (FR), Logistic Regression (LR), and Weight of Evidence (WoE), and the distinct hydrological behaviours of small watersheds were highlighted.

Flooding is an escalating hazard in arid and rapidly urbanizing environments such as Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where the lack of historical flood records and sparse monitoring systems challenge effective risk prediction. To address this gap, this study aims to develop an accurate and interpretable flood susceptibility-mapping framework tailored to data-scarce urban settings. The research integrates a stacked ensemble model-comprising machine learning: XGBoost, CatBoost, and Histogram-based Gradient Boosting (HGB)-with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to enhance prediction accuracy and model transparency.

Flood susceptibility studies that utilize machine learning (ML) face challenges in interpretability and generalization due to the disconnection between feature selection and model training. This study proposed the C2MI-ML framework, which integrates the Chi-square test, mutual information, and ML to simultaneously optimize feature selection and model training. Using Shenzhen, China, as a case study, this study found that both natural and socioeconomic factors have significant impacts on waterlogging susceptibility.

Sylhet, located in the northeastern part of Bangladesh, is characterized by a unique topography and climatic conditions that make it susceptible to flash floods. The interplay of rapid urbanization and climatic variability has exacerbated these flood risks in recent years. Effective monitoring and planning of land use/land cover (LULC) are crucial strategies for mitigating these hazards.
