Short summary
With global warming and urbanization accelerating, urban flooding is becoming more severe. Real-time forecasting plays a key role in disaster mitigation, but traditional hydrodynamic models are too resource-intensive for timely prediction. Machine learning models offer high efficiency but often lack accuracy in simulating spatiotemporal flood dynamics. This study proposes a new data-driven model, which performs well in a flood-prone area of Macao.
