Determination of maximum rivers flow resulted from surface runoff in watersheds without adequate hydrometric records is based on rainfall-runoff models. The short duration rainfalls are one of the basic elements to apply these models. The access to quantitative and intrinsic worth storm data is restricted around the word and in Iran too. There are several empirical and statistical methods to es...

Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies through rapidly developing (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted processes that altering as Earth’s climate warms. In this Review, we examine evidence from observational, theoretical modelling studies for the intensification of these extremes, drivers impact on flash flooding. Both short-durati...

(1) Snow melt period of December to April in combination with precipitation (typical of lowland and hilly parts of the Labe, Vltava and Morava catchments). (2) Longer duration of rainfall lasting 10 to 72 hours (rainfall intensified and prolonged by elevation enhancement). (3) Intensive short duration of summer rainfall exceeding (flood peak occurring within hours of rainfall peak, small areas ...

Short duration design rainfall intensity data is a basic input to many water related projects, particularly in urban drainage design. The main problem in deriving short duration design rainfall data is the lack of continuous pluviograph rainfall data. The use of regionalisation techniques is common in design rainfall estimation, which pools data from a large region. This paper presents a region...

The purpose of the study was to determine the role of land use, seasonality, and hydrometeorological conditions on the relationship between stream water potassium (K+) concentration and discharge during different types of floods-short- and long-duration rainfall floods as well as snowmelt floods on frozen and thawed soils. The research was conducted in small catchments (agricultural, woodland, ...
