As climate change accelerates and extreme weather events become more frequent, the need for innovative and effective flood risk management tools is more urgent than ever.

Floods are one of the most common and damaging natural disasters that seriously affect the environment, economy and safety of people, especially in parts of republic of North Macedonia where riverbeds are narrow and urbanization is unplanned.

In North Macedonia, where the terrain is characterized by frequent transitions between mountains, basins, and valleys, flash floods in urban areas present a serious threat, especially considering the current climate change and its effects. Climate change, as a global phenomenon, is characterized by an increase in average temperatures worldwide. Global warming, in turn, affects weather conditions, especially the frequency of extreme weather events (heat waves, extreme precipitation, storms)
