Zusammenfassung
Many of the Mediterranean basin's rapid streams are characterised by torrential runoff and are known for causing flash floods. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate watershed flow continuity and water surface elevations during turbulent stormy events. The methodology is based on a spatially distributed hydrological model that uses a Geographical Information System (GIS) to pre- and post- process hydrological data. The model's outputs provide rigorous criteria for mapping the floodplain's landscape.
