1 Introduction
Climate change is a critical environmental complex challenge of the 21st century which is disrupting ecosystems, altering weather dynamics, and transforming human-environment interactions across the globe (; ; ). One of the most prominent outcomes of climate change is its disruptive impact on the natural hydrological system, leading to changes in rainfall systems, temperature rise, and an enhancement in extreme events like flooding. The hydrological system, which manages the natural exchange of water between the atmosphere, land, and underground sources, is increasingly disrupted by floods. Enhanced evaporation rates, irregular rainfall distribution, and unpredictable surface runoff and groundwater have magnified the frequency and severity of floods, damaging drainage networks and disturbing the ecological systems and human infrastructure (; ; ). These climatic disruption have been induced by several sources. The consistent rise in global temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions has triggered profound disruptions in the Earth’s climate system. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that the average global temperature has increased by approximately since the late 19th century. This warming trend has led to widespread results including the melting of polar ice, warming of ocean waters, and more frequent extreme heat events. These climatic transmission are also disrupting precipitation dynamics, resulting in more intense rainfall causing the floods while causing droughts in others for a long time (; ; ).
In the context of flooding, warmer air can retain greater moisture, significantly increasing the probability of heavy rainfall and storm-driven floods. Research indicates a consistent 2% rise per decade in annual precipitation across mid-latitude regions since the 1950s. Such patterns have resulted in devastating flood events-for instance, the catastrophic 2021 floods in Germany and Belgium, which inflicted over 40 billion in damages. Conversely, some regions face persistent water scarcity due to reduced snowpack, such as the southwestern United States, where the 2020–2022 megadrought marked the driest period in over a millennium (; ; ).
These climatic changes place severe stress on water systems, agriculture, and disaster preparedness, amplifying the risks to human population and ecosystems together. The intersection of severe precipitation and outdated urban infrastructure often leads to overwhelmed drainage systems, urban floods, and loss of life and property. Addressing the threat of flood disasters necessitates urgent climate action-namely reducing emissions, enhancing resilient infrastructure, and implementing adaptive water governance. Sustained collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and communities is important to mitigating future impacts and ensuring resilience against worsening hydrological disruptions (; ; ).
Floods are natural phenomenon that occur when water levels exceed the normal limits of rivers, lakes, or other water-bodies. The basic causes are including; heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, or dams failures. These events create a dynamic system where the balance between water volume, velocity, and the environment transfers dramatically (; ). The floods play dual role on ecosystems they are destructive for some regions while beneficial for others. On one hand, floods can disrupt habitats, affect wildlife, and cause soil erosion, causing to long-term biodiversity loss. On the other hand, floods also play a role in nutrient cycling by restructuring sediments and organic material, which can enhance soil fertility and improve the growth of plant species. The flood dynamic system is, therefore, a complex interaction between the natural forces and the resilience of the ecosystems it affects, highlighting the complex mechanism between environmental factors and the dependent organisms (; ; ).
Floods are complex hydrological phenomenon influenced by a range of interacting natural and anthropogenic variables. Intense and/or prolonged rainfall, rapid snowmelt, topographic variations, and saturated soil factors often serve as basic natural flood resources (; ; ). Human activities such as urbanization, deforestation, and inadequate drainage mechanisms further implies flood risks by disrupting the natural flow and absorption of water. In flood dynamical systems, nonlinear feedback mechanisms between rainfall, runoff, river discharge, and land use jointly shape the intensity and duration of flooding dynaimcs (; ).
The repercussions of floods are far-reaching, extending beyond immediate property destruction. Financially, they cause significant costs on infrastructure repair, emergency response, and long-term economic recovery (). Ecologically, floods can alter habitats, contaminate water, and lead to the transmission or death of wildlife. Prolonged overflow can also disrupt nutrient cycles and degrade agricultural land, dominating to food insecurity (; ). Therefore, the study of flood dynamical systems is important for developing predictive models and sustainability procedures to mitigate these downstream effects.
The Figure 1, highlights the floods and their financial and ecological impacts on Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. The evolution of flood-related financial and ecological impacts in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco from 2015 to 2022. Financial losses are in million USD, showing a consistent growth in the graph in all countries. The Egypt is experiencing the most critical rise. Ecological loss, shown by a dimensionless index, also increases steadily, describing mounting environmental stress linked to recurrent flooding. Tunisia and Morocco have shown lower but gradually increasing impacts, whereas Algeria maintains a more moderate dynamics. This graph shows the growing effects of floods on both economic infrastructure and ecosystems across the MENA region, highlighting the need for significant flood management strategies (; ; ; ; ; ).

1.1 Fractional order modeling of dynamical systems
Fractional differential equations (FDEs) suggest a pivotal extension of classical calculus. These are used to model systems with memory and hereditary aspects which make them more suitable for resilient real-world problems. In applied scientific field, FDEs have been successfully applied to viscoelastic materials, fluid dynamics, control theory, and biological problems. They capture anomalous diffusion and long-range temporal habits more precise than integer-order systems (; ). Their viability gives accurate representations of dynamic intricate systems, especially where classical models are not well applicable (; ). In the recent works, the readers can see a bridging role of FDEs between theoretical analysis and computational results in the works (; ; ).
By incorporating fractal geometry into the idea of fractional derivatives, the fractal-fractional derivative is an expansion of the traditional fractional calculus. It simulates systems with long-range dependencies and irregular non-differentiable activities, which are prevalent of complex and natural phenomena. Fractal-fractional derivatives, in comparison to integer-order derivatives, are durable to capture anomalous diffusion and memory problems (; ; ). Due to these properties, they are applied in fields such as epidemiology for modeling of disease transmission including sophisticated time-dependent relationships. Additionally, they are used in biology, physics, and finance to explain phenomena like as anomalous diffusion, diffusion in porous media, and chaotic system behaviors, providing more realistic and realistic representations of dynamics in the real world. For more detail about the applications and usefulness of the fractional derivatives and their applications in the environmental sciences, we refer the readers to the works (; ; ) and the references therein.

Definition 1.2Assume thatis continues function (a, b) then the fractal-fractional integral ofof orderhaving Mittag–Leffler type kernal is given by.
In the onward expressions, we will use , for simplicity. We introduce a Banach space of , with a norm .
1.2 AI applications in science
Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in analyzing systems by offering advanced techniques for modeling, forecasting, and optimization. In scenarios where system variables change over time, such as in dynamic environments, AI techniques including machine learning and neural networks efficiently handles at managing intricate and nonlinear patterns that conventional statistical methods often try to capture (; ). Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in uncovering patterns from large datasets, capturing dynamical behaviors, and developing real-time forecasts. Techniques such as Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models are extensively applied for analyzing time-series data and anomalies recognitions. Additionally, AI contributes to solving inverse problems by finding system parameters from observed data. These methods also support automated model selection, parameter tuning, and error analysis, thereby enhancing the precision of dynamic simulations. Consequently, AI-driven approaches are increasingly adopted in domains like climate analysis, economic prediction, and engineering systems, where modeling complex and evolving phenomena is essential (; ; ; ).
1.2.1 FF-mathematical modeling of flood dynamical system
The dynamics of the presumed model is based on the excessive rainfall aiding to the flood demonstrated in the Figure 2. The excessive rainfall is raising to the water level in the rivers which are causing to the soil erosion and disrupting the natural water cycle which in severe cases causing to the floods. In this work, we assume the following as models’ variables; surface storage , surface runoff , river flow , water level , and the area affected by flooding . The model is composed of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), modulated by a time-varying rainfall input , which is taken as a periodic function:

• : increases with excess rainfall and decreases through drainage.
• : river flow builds up from surface runoff and decays naturally.
• : rises when river flow exceeds capacity, decreases via dissipation.
• : flood extent grows with rising water level and recedes over time. The numerical values of the parameters are given in the Table 1.

3 Computational scheme
The computational scheme for the deep learning of FF-water cycle model (1.1) is described in this section. We start considering: , where . This is equivalent to:Taking help of the Riemann-Integral, we haveTaking the place of by , we haveUsing two-step Lagrange Polynomial to integrate (3.3), we getWith the use of Equations 3.1–3.3, the following computational mechanism Equation 3.4 is developed:
In the Figure 3, the flood dynamical system (1.1) is analyzed for the effects analysis of the surface storage depletion rates . This figure has two subfigures explaining the presumed dynamics. The water surface depletion rate can be by several reasons including the evaporation, infiltration, plants and animal intakes. It is observed that under the variation of the , the river flow has shown a comparatively higher growth for the highest value of the denoted by the red dotted line in the Figure 4a. In the first 20–30 days there is the highest level of water flow in the rivers which are then slightly decreased until day 80 but then a small spike is shown again. These water raise in the rivers are becoming the reasons of the surface runoff . It has been observed that in the first days the maximum surface runoff is studied which are then decreased to the least value around day 75. The maximum level of the has shown the largest surface runoff throughout the study in the Figure 4b.
FIGURE 3
3.1 Explanation of figures with correct soil moisture interpretation
The Figure 4 shows the variation of soil moisture over 100 days under different values of the fraction of the rainfall aiding to surface storage (90%, 95%, 105%, and 110%). The figure highlights a rise and fall in the moisture levels the least value of the is comparatively less aiding to the moisturization while the larger value is greatly supporting to it. The second Figure 3b shows the dynamics of the soil moisture under the effects of the infiltration values. Both these figures show almost equal dynamics and highlighting that there is a clear variation of the soil moisturization. Initially, increases rapidly, reaching around 110 units by day 20. With time has shown a decline due to continuous infiltration and losses. For higher values, soil moisture levels decrease faster. At day 38, is approximately 85–90 for the different . A second increase in appears near day 40 due to additional rainfall events. Higher infiltration rates consistently lead to reduced soil moisture retention. A maximum value of the moisture is observed on 80th which reaches to 140 units.
FIGURE 4
The Figure 5 shows the importance and effects of the over the flood height and surface runoff . It is observed that for the minimum value of the flood height is highest shown in the Figure 5a. This is further impacting the surface runoff given in the Figure 5b. The minimum level has shown the maximum surface runoff in the comparative graphs expressed by the dotted black line.
FIGURE 5
The heatmap describes the flood height with deviations in the river overflow factor and river capacity . The data of varies from 0.8 to 1.2, while also has the same variation limits ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 times its baseline value of 35. The color scale shows the flood height indicated during the computations. Higher flood level (up to 300 units) is recorded when and , showing conditions where river overflow is frequent and more intense. While, low and high limit flooding.
In Figures 6–8, surface runoff, and cumulative frequency distribution of flood height impacted with the help of the infiltration rates and river capacity of the FF-flood dynamical system (1.1) of FF-orders 0.98 are given. In Figure 7a, the flow duration curve (FDC) compares river flow rates under variation in the values for the surface storage depletion rate . The x-axis represents in , ranging up to 250, while the y-axis shows exceedance probability from 0 to 1. Four cases are expressed: at 90%, 95%, 105%, and 110%. The dashed yellow line (110%) shows the highest flow for low-probability cases (e.g., at 0.1), showing more severe flood potential. While the black dashed line (90%) represents reduced flow values, particularly below 150 for high exceedance probabilities above 0.5. In Figure 7b the heatmap describes the deviation in flood height as directed by parameters and . The and ranges from 0.8 to 1.2. Elevated flood heights above 500 are observed for lower and higher values, indicating magnified surface water accumulation due to limited infiltration and reduced channel discharge efficiency. Conversely, as improves beyond 1.0, is significantly decreased to 150, which is demanding enhanced drainage conditions.

FIGURE 8
In Figure 8b, the heatmap indicates the sensitivity of flood height to the changes in the scaling parameters of infiltration loss rate and flood response coefficient . The horizontal axis represents in domain from 0.8 to 1.2, while the vertical axis shows has the domain from 0.8 to 1.2. The colored bar on the right maps flood height values from 215 to 250, with darker blue showing lower levels (near 215) and yellow presenting higher peaks (above 250). The map presents that increases in and can both amplify and suppress flood height, indicating a nonlinear dynamical impact.
The impact of variation over the soil moisturization and flood development is studied in the Figure 9. In the first Figure 9a, the soil moisturization is analyzed for the different levels of but it is observed that for the least water dissipation, the moisturization level is the highest throughout the period of the study. And in contrast, the dissipation level for the largest level of the is maximum shown in the Figure 9b.
FIGURE 9
The Figure 10 describes the cumulative frequency distribution dynamics based on the variation in river flow as a function of cumulative probability under different scaling cases of the runoff generation factor . An increase in from 90% to 110% shifts the curves rightward, indicating higher discharge rates becoming more probable. Notably, the 110% case accumulates higher flows more rapidly, while the 90% curve representing limited runoff contribution. This highlights the sensitivity of flow regimes to runoff efficiency, where increased enhances river discharge volumes and intensifying flood risks and altering hydrological stability.

Table 2 evaluates the system’s response to a 5% increase in the same set of hydrological parameters. Increasing (rainfall into soil) reduces soil moisture , likely due to quicker infiltration and dispersion through the soil profile. Interestingly, , , and also decrease, implying less water is reaching the downstream flood zones. In contrast, increasing (evapotranspiration) leads to a decrease in and slight increases in and , suggesting that a more active water cycle accelerates water movement. An increase in (rain-to-runoff efficiency) significantly elevates , , and , due to faster surface water movement. Higher reduces and downstream values, implying that a higher storage threshold buffers runoff. Notably, an increase in and amplifies both and , as water transfers more efficiently into the river and overflows to flood zones. These outcomes confirm the model’s sensitivity to small positive deviations and suggest control strategies focused on modifying these parameters to reduce flood impact.
3.1.3 Table 3: impact of parameter variations scaled by 1.10
Table 3 explores the influence of a 10% increase in each hydrological parameter. A sharp rise in drastically reduces , , and , indicating that diverting more rain into the soil dampens flood severity. In contrast, increasing and greatly intensifies and , indicating that more efficient runoff and quicker river discharge dramatically elevate flood risks. The increase in has minimal effect on the variables, suggesting the evapotranspiration rate plays a moderate role in the overall system behavior. Notably, an increase in (soil storage threshold) decreases downstream impacts, confirming its buffering role. Meanwhile, the higher overflow rate significantly increases , emphasizing the importance of overflow infrastructure in floodplain management. These results demonstrate non-linear dynamics: some parameters like and strongly control flood escalation, while others such as show more passive influence. Thus, proper calibration and structural mitigation targeting high-impact parameters could be effective in reducing vulnerability to extreme flood events. A similar illustration is given in the Tables 3, 4.

• Climate Change Impact Analysis: Extending the model to simulate flood behavior under future climate scenarios with the increase in atmospheric gases and temperature.
• Multi-Scale Model Validation: Validating the model across different geographic factors to assess robustness.
