 Flood prediction relies on open channel flow modeling and flood mapping techniques.
 Flood mapping techniques have advanced with remote sensing, GIS, and probabilistic
modeling.
 Data quality, model complexity, and real-time data integration are key challenges.
 Future research focuses on coupling 3D models with 1D/2D models, standardized data
collection, and machine learning.
 Investing in these advancements can lead to more robust flood management strategies for
a safer future.
