River discharge is traditionally required with a lot of measurements and data. However there are areas where discharge data is not available. In this research a tool is developed based on hydraulic geometry relations to estimate the discharge of a river in bank full state near Narok, Kenya. With the help of the Global Navigation Satellite System...

Flash floods are a damaging and recurring problem in Cebu city, Philippines. Very little data is known about the intensities and precipitation amounts and the resulting river discharges. This research project firstly aims to gather as much data as possible on precipitation and river discharges that could cause the floods, it focuses on a small...

Flash floods are a major concern in hydrology and natural hazard science due to their high potential of causing fatalities and damages. They are caused by short, high-intensity rainfall and characterized by a flood event happening within six hours of the onset of precipitation.<br/>In July 2021 an extremely large rainfall event took place in the...

Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) is a rainfall threshold which initiates flooding in streams. It merely provides a binary output (yes or no) which has large uncertainties in forecasting. In this paper, we propose a new method by combining FFG with the Frequentist method to present the probability of flash flood occurrence based on historical...

Flash floods in mountainous areas have become more severe and frequent as a result of climate change and are a threat to public safety and social development. This study explores the application of distributed hydrological models in flash floods risk management in a small watershed in Sichuan Province, China, and aims to increase early...

This paper aims to propose methods to mitigate the risks of flash flood events in arid rural communities with poor infrastructure. A flash flood management case study was conducted at Afouna Village in Egypt, which is characterized by an arid climate and faced a devasting flash flood in 2015. First, the flash flood was modelled and it was...

In the recent years, several cases of flash floods have been reported in the Municipality of Tirana, causing important material damage in the region. One of the most devastating events occurred in December 2017, which flooded the City Park area (West of the Municipality of Tirana). This area is strategical because it...

Polarimetric radar measurements and products perform as the cornerstones of modern severe weather warning and nowcast systems. Two radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) frameworks, one based on a radar-gauge feedback mechanism and the other based on standard rain drop size distribution (DSD)-derived rainfall retrieval relationships,...

Flood early warning systems are recognized as one of the most effective flood risk management instruments when correctly embedded in comprehensive flood risk management strategies and policies. Many efforts around the world are being put in place to advance the components that determine the effectiveness of a flood early warning system. The aim...

The overarching aim of this research project was to establish a sustainable urban water management design for Hoboken City to decrease vulnerability to extreme precipitation and improve urban quality. By carrying out a functional analysis of the area and the technical analysis of the water system, recommendations were made for soft and natural...

Afgelopen zomer zorgde hevige regenval voor grote overstromingen in de wijk Asparuhovo. Deze wijk ligt aan de heuvelachtige zuidkant van de kuststad Varna in Bulgarije. Na twee dagen van aanhoudende neerslag kwam er op 19 juni plots een grote modderstroom door de wijk heen zetten. Het gevallen regenwater behoort te worden afgevoerd van het hoger...

The structure of the report is articulated into three major Parts. The first Part is focused on the structure of the flash flood observational system, which includes the Hydrometeorological observatories and the methodology for post event survey. A subsection is devoted to the analysis of the resolution requirements for flash flood modelling....

A radar structured algorithm system (radar SAS) has been set up and assessed by the FLOODsite Task 15 partners. This system is aimed at improving quantitative precipitation estimation of storm rainfall for flash-flood forecasting in mountainous regions. A number of innovative quantitative pprecipitation estimation (QPE) algorithms aimed at a...

The Gard River case study focuses on human behaviour and casualties during the September 8-9, 2002 flash floods in order to provide estimates of the potential loss of life for this type of flood and elements for a calibration of the proposed model. The study contributes to Actions 1 and 2 of Activity 1 in Task 10 in helping to identify the...

The hydrological response of catchments is influenced by the lanscape characteristics. Both channel networks and hillslopes play a major role in the propagation of water within catchments, and therefore influence the generation of floods. In mountainous regions, the importance of subsurface flows has been recognized for a long time (e.g. Dunne...

Flash floods result from the concatenation of meteorological and hydrological conditions. Recognition of the coupled meteorological/hydrological nature of flash floods is now evident in interpretative studies and in the development of predictive models. Therefore, the work performed within Task 1 aims at improving our understanding of the...

From a classical point of view, hydrological models can only provide warnings on key points of the river drainage system, previously identified as risk points and with available hydrological records. However the new ideas about flood warning and active control strategies require tools able to take into account the particular spatial and temporal...
