Flooding is the world’s costliest natural disaster, and its impacts are escalating. The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction reports that floods make up 35–40% of all weather-related disasters. Between 1970 and 2019, water-related hazards accounted for half of all disasters and 45% of reported deaths, and since 2000, recorded flood events have surged by 134%. Yet despite this growing risk, most flood-forecasting systems still rely on coarse soil-moisture data, le

More intense and frequent rainfall can lead to waterlogged soils and higher instances of flooding, compromising foundation integrity.

Subsidence is the gradual sinking or settling of the ground surface, often resulting from natural processes or human activities.
