Randomized trial demonstrates improved flood susceptibility mapping in data-scarce regions, indicating significant potential for planning.

Key Points

This study aims to enhance flood susceptibility assessments in small river basins using high-resolution Earth Observation data and advanced statistical modeling.
Integrated high-resolution Earth Observation and GIS data in a small river basin in Romania.
Analyzed ten flood conditioning factors including elevation, TWI, NDVI, and soil moisture.
Applied Frequency Ratio (FR) and Weight of Evidence (WoE) statistical methods at a resolution of 12.5 m.
WoE model achieved a higher predictive performance with AUC = 0.945 compared to FR with AUC = 0.876.
25-29% of the basin is classified as high to very high susceptibility, particularly along river corridors.
38% (WoE) and 30% (FR) of built-up areas are located within high and very high susceptibility classes.
