The aim of this work is to assess the accuracy of literature design hyetographs for the
evaluation of peak discharges during flood events. Five design hyetographs are examined …

A new rationale for deriving the probability distribution of floods and help in understanding
the physical processes underlying the distribution itself is presented. On the basis of this a …

Extreme rainstorms often trigger catastrophic flash floods in Europe and in several areas of
the world. Despite notable advances in weather forecasting, most operational early warning …

In general, different mechanisms may be identified as responsible of runoff generation
during ordinary events or extraordinary events at the basin scale. In a simplified scheme …

This work investigates the routing effect provided by an artificial reservoir to a double-peak
flood of a given return period. The present paper introduces a dimensionless form of the …

This paper develops a theoretical framework to investigate the core dependence of peak
flows on the geomorphic properties of river basins. Based on the theory of transport by travel …

Systems for the early detection of floods over continental and global domains have a key
role in providing a quick overview of areas at risk, raise the awareness and prompt higher …

A stochastic approach is developed for the determination of the reduction ratio between the
annual maximum flow averaged over a consecutive D hour period and the annual maximum …

Modern flood hazard mapping techniques and water infrastructure design require the entire
flood hydrograph. However, statistical methods for flood hydrograph estimation in ungauged …

In the present research, we exploited a continuous hydrological simulation to investigate on
key variables responsible of flood peak formation. With this purpose, a distributed …
