“…Landsat data can be downloaded for free from the US Geological Survey website (earthexplorer.usgs.gov). For this study, Landsat 8 images captured on 24 December 2018 (flood image) and 7 October 2018 (reference image) were used for the mapping of flooded areas.A DEM represents a 3D view of the Earth's terrain and has significant applications in geomorphology and other fields(Donia, 2020). The ALOS DEM with 12.5m resolution, downloaded from the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) was used to identify and automatically extract drainage networks in the study area.Drainage networks and watersheds are identified using DEM and ArcGIS 10.8 software.…”

Flash flooding is one of the most devastating natural events that leads to enormous and recurring loss of life. Kuwait was subjected to severe rainstorms in the winter of 2018 and 2020 followed by an extreme violent flood that had not been known in Kuwait since 1976. It resulted in several geomorphological and environmental impacts in urban and desert areas. This produced some positive results, such as geomorphological activity in landforms, the flow of some valleys and the prosperity of wildlife in the Kuwaiti desert. Negative results included some problems in the metropolitan area and destruction of some road networks that intersect the main valleys, and which were not equipped with crossings for avoiding floods. There was also the emergence of some problems in the infrastructure. Study of flash floods requires the involvement of all scientific and executive bodies to avoid environmental risk. The study aims to: 1- Monitor geomorphological and environmental changes. 2- Assess the impact of floods in the urban areas and on infrastructure. 3- Modeling the impact. 4- Creating solutions and adaptions to the flash flood. The study uses several methods such as remote sensing (RS), geographic information systems (GIS), hydrologic modeling and fieldwork to evaluate the impact of flash flood hazards on the sustainable urban development of Kuwait state. This approach is rarely used in Kuwait. We propose a novel method that could help decision-makers and planners in determining inundated flood zones before planning future urban developments in Kuwait, and help them to manage flood water, by identifying the most appropriate places for storage to exploit water in agriculture and drinking.

“…The stream order of a watershed reflects the ability of a stream to erode and deposit sediment and is therefore linked to soil erosion and flooding. In this study, Strahler's method was used to identify and classify stream type based on tributary numbers(Donia, 2020).…”
