Conventional assessment cannot fully depict the impact of river system evolution on flood risk in recent years. In this study, a four-dimensional assessment system of flood risk was proposed considering the evolution of the river network system in Xiangjiang River Basin. A comprehensive and quantitative investigation was also made on the spatiotemporal evolution of the river network. The entropy-weight method was used to verify the assessment system of flood risk from 1995 to 2015 from four dimensions: the risk of disaster-causing factors, the ...
