It was also determined that when the geological substrate is rich and after high-intensity flooding, there is an increase in As, Cd, Co, Cu and Fe content in sediment compared with soil.

Regarding this, the French overseas territories have been identified as particularly vulnerable to flood risk.

The unexpected severity of the 2013 flash flood prompted an investigation into hydrologic and LULCC to determine its cause. We combined spatial cloud computing with hydrological analysis to investigate the relationship between LULCC and peri-hydrological processes for four decades. The Landsat time series analysis shows significant LULC changes: agricultural and rangelands decreased by over 80%, while urban and barren areas increased by 81% and 31%, respectively. The daily rainfall analysis shows that rainstorms exceeding 40 mm were classified as destructive only under wet antecedent soil moisture conditions (1988, 2009, and 2019). Unexpectedly, the 41 mm rainstorm in 2013 occurred under dry conditions. The respective flood magnitude was 4.6 Mm3 according to the US-Natural Resources Conservation Service (US-NRCS).

The focus has shifted from flood protection to flood risk management also with the consequence to change the relationship and arrangement between state and nonstate actors (Hartmann and Juepner <span>2014</span>; Hartmann and Driessen <span>2017</span>). Flood protection embraces a hazard-based perspective that relies primarily on engineering solutions. It is driven by expert-based and top-down decision-making. Flood risk management include a broader more holistic perspective of dealing with floods, including stronger involvement of nonstate actors (Adger et al. <span>2013</span>; Hartmann and Driessen <span>2017</span>; Kuhlicke et al. <span>2020</span>). A core aim of flood risk management is also to encourage bottom-up innovative solutions for managing flood hazards (Thaler, Attems, and Fuchs <span>2022</span>; Birkmann et al. <span>2023</span>; Junger et al. <span>2023</span>). Nevertheless, the selection process of flood risk management strategies still places a strong emphasis on technical mitigation measures. A significant barrier remains the preference within flood risk management for established and reliable methods over more experimental approaches that could potentially achieve broader objectives. In addition to conventional technical measures, which are often capital-intensive and can lead to environmental degradation, there is a growing need for innovative solutions that can not only effectively reduce flood risks, but also contribute to nature conservation, climate change mitigation, sustainable natural resource management, and the successful implementation of the European Water Framework Directive and the Floods Directive. Moreover, these innovations should aim to deliver societal co-benefits, such as improved quality of life and well-being. However, the success of these innovative concepts depends on social innovations that can drive a societal transformation process.</p><p>The concept social innovation has been introduced a long time ago with the aim to overcome lock-in situations and to provide “better” responses to ongoing societal problems, such as managing the housing crises, encouraging our society toward decarbonization, selecting and implementing climate adaptation strategies, dealing other national and international crises and so forth (Hamdouch and Nyseth <span>2023</span>). The core point of social innovation is the encouragement of social change, including a collective decision-making process. Put differently, social innovation can be understood as a way in which people are aiming at establishing new and more effective answers to the challenges that societies face, while at the same time embedding these solutions in a way that address societal needs (and not only steered towards economic profit).

First, logistic regression is used to predict the spatial probability of debris-flow initiation with rainfall as an input. Next, Monte Carlo simulation based on the initiation location generated from the rainfall-based probability yields the spatial distribution of the debris-flow hit probability. Simulation parameters are systematically determined in advance based on topographic change obtained via aerial LiDAR observations. This method was successfully employed to estimate the spatial distribution of the debris-flow hit probability at 1-m resolution for a debris-flow disaster that occurred in Hiroshima prefecture, Japan, using rainfall data obtained by radar. The simulation time indicated that hit probability can be issued prior to the event for early warning, owing to the adequate lead time of rainfall forecasts and recent developments in computational technology.

Developing an accurate model to capture the dynamic connection between rainfall and runoff remains problematic and challenging in water resource management due to the nonstationary characteristics of hydrologic processes and the effects of noise. In this study, data-driven techniques, such as the group method of data handling (GMDH), extreme learning machine (ELM), and two hybrids of artificial neural network (ANN) with Cuckoo search algorithm (ANN + Cuckoo) and genetic algorithm (ANN + GA) were used to model the rainfall–runoff relationship. For a comprehensive analysis, four scenarios were examined based on the different input combinations to test and select the best scenario and best model performance. The results indicated that the performance of ELM and GMDH in predicting runoff was more accurate than that of ANN + Cuckoo and ANN + GA. Although the GMDH predicts runoff with higher accuracy, ELM provides reliable performance in simulating both low and high values. The models' performance can be ranked based on the testing data in the following order: GMDH, ELM, ANN + GA, and ANN + CUKOO. The root mean squared error (RMSE) was recorded as 56.7 and 69.7 m<sup>3</sup>/s for the GMDH and ELM models, respectively. These low RMSE values highlight the potential of these models in effectively addressing the challenges associated with the complexity of rainfall–runoff simulations.
