<![CDATA[Flooding is one of the most common hydrometeorological phenomena in Indonesia, including the island of Kalimantan. In recent years, the intensity and frequency of flooding in various regions of Kalimantan have increased due to climate change, such as rainfall, land use, watershed (DAS) damage, and human activities such as deforestation, plantations, and mining. This situation has led to significant increases in social, economic, environmental, and even public health aspects. The purpose of this study is to identify the causes of flooding in Kalimantan, analyze the identified impacts, and disseminate various mitigation strategies that have been implemented based on previous research findings. This study used a desk observation method by collecting several scientific journals. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques through identification, classification, synthesis, and interpretation of research findings. The research findings indicate that a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors causes flooding in Kalimantan. Infrastructure damage, decreased economic activity, public health disruptions, ecosystem damage, and increased poverty risks for stranded communities are examples of the impacts that occur. Effective mitigation strategies include watershed management, forest rehabilitation, flood control infrastructure development, implementation of early warning systems, increased coordination between agencies, and community involvement in disaster risk reduction. It is hoped that this research can be a reference for the government, academics, and the general public to improve the effectiveness of risk assessment in Kalimantan.]]>
