ASSESSMENT OF THE FLOOD OCCURRENCE POTENTIAL IN THE UPPER TELEAJEN RIVER BASIN
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii din Oradea, Seria Geografie - Year 2016, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
For a better management of the extreme situations generated by catastrophic hydrological events, we used a methodology regarding the estimation of the flash-flood occurrence potential in this particular river basin which integrates three physical elements (the slope of the terrain, soil texture and vegetation cover) that relate to precipitation run-off. The method also takes into account a fourth element that is the Land Cover/Use. For the purpose of this paper, we have replaced it with the 1% occurrence probability maximum rainfall.The results obtained by using this method is represented by an index which allows users to see which places are more pre-disposed to flash flooding.
