Multi-criteria approach to develop flood susceptibility maps in arid regions of Middle East
Shereif H. Mahmoud,Thian Yew Gan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced a methodology for identifying flood susceptibility zones using a multi-criteria analysis, which incorporates 10 susceptibility factors: flow accumulation, annual rainfall, slope, runoff, land use/cover, elevation, geology, soil type, distance from the drainage network, and drainage density.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.
