Short summary
Flooding is a major problem and predicting it accurately over large areas is tough. This study tested a new approach to forecast floods across a large region in the United States. By dividing the area into smaller areas to develop the prediction models and then combining, the method successfully simulated surface water extent for both high and low flow periods. The results were more accurate than existing approaches with similar methods which can improve flood forecasting for larger areas.
