Abstract | This study examines the flood dangers associated with valley torrents in urban environments, utilizing Valley Bereen as a case study. The fast development of the area, coupled with insufficient drainage systems and ineffective flood management strategies, has increased the susceptibility of infrastructure and populations to significant flooding occurrences. This research aims to identify, assess, and prioritize the principal flood risks and offer practical solutions for minimizing these hazards. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining quantitative risk assessment through the structured questionnaire developed for this study with qualitative analysis of historical data, site attributes, and municipal records. The questionnaire targeted stakeholders to evaluate the likelihood and impact of various risk factors related to floods. The findings indicated insufficient infrastructure, socio-economic vulnerabilities, and unregulated urban development contribute to heightened flood risks. Advanced approaches, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical modeling, were employed to delineate hazard zones and assess risk trends. The study emphasizes the necessity of an integrated flood control plan that amalgamates structural interventions, such as enhanced drainage systems, with non-structural initiatives, such as community awareness campaigns and regulatory reforms. Recommendations emphasize improving urban resilience via adaptive infrastructure, more stringent planning laws, and cohesive risk management strategies. This study offers essential insights for urban planners and policymakers, presenting a sustainable flood risk mitigation paradigm and promoting long-term urban safety and growth.
