Randomized trial evaluates flood susceptibility in the Sebeya Catchment, suggesting improved mitigation strategies.

This research aims to assess flood susceptibility in the Sebeya Catchment using GIS and community input.
Utilized GIS and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate 10 conditioning factors.
Gathered spatial datasets from remote sensing, Digital Elevation Models, and meteorological records.
Validated the flood susceptibility map using a confusion matrix approach.
88.4% of the area classified in the moderate flood-susceptible zone.
Achieved an overall accuracy of 0.97 for the flood susceptibility map.
Identified key consequences of flooding, including infrastructure damage and community displacement.

Mugabe et al. (2026) studied this question.
