“…As the objective of this work is the estimation of the maximal discharge in subject watersheds given that there are no hydrological measurements, the conceptual model of the Soil Conservation Service and synthetic unit hydrograph theory, SCS-SUH (Snyder 1938, SCS 1956) is used as the most appropriate and reliable (Mishra & Singh 2003). This combined method is explained in detail in research of Petrović et al (2021) and described in Figure 2. The large set of watershed data are needed for its implementation and computations.…”

“…The probability of occurrence of reconstructed maximal discharges and return period of the 15 th September 2014 torrential food is specified and equals to 240-260 years for Dupljanska reka and 40-45 years for Manastirički potok. Regarding the estimation of return period, as already concluded in research of Petrović et al (2021), there is a high impact of rainfall datasets and calculated rainfall of a given probability of occurrence which are used for the calculation of the maximal discharges of a specified probability of occurrence. Rainfall dataset for station Kladovo for the period of 48 years contains two similar maxima -107.2 mm (recorded on 15.9.2014) and 107.3 mm (then 93.1 mm, 90.8 mm) which implies that 100 return period rainfall will be probably higher than 107 mm.…”

“…Torrential floods in the Eastern Serbia on 15 th September 2014 will remain as historic due to devastating effects on local communities though this event did not get enough room in media. The hydrological analysis of torrential floods of the direct Danube tributaries (Podvrška, Velika Kamenica, Slatinska, Zamna and Mala Kamenica) is presented by Petrović et al 2021. In this paper, we analyze the extremeness of the torrential floods of smaller watersheds of Dupljanska reka (Negotin municipality) and Manastirički potok (Kladovo municipality) which contributed to the overall cataclysmic situation.…”

The September torrential floods in 2014 in the Eastern Serbia were a real disaster for local residents in municipalities of Kladovo, Negotin and Majdanpek. Meteorological extreme event caused the hydrological extreme event which led to declaration of the emergency situation in all three municipalities. The combined method of Soil Conservation Service and synthetic unit triangular hydrograph (SCS-SUH) is employed to compute the maximal discharges in small watersheds of Dupljanska reka and Manastiricki potok, in order to assess the extremeness of September 2014 torrential flood events. Since the surface runoff is accompanied by intensive soil erosion on watershed slopes and the maximal discharges by sediment transport in river beds, estimation of mean annual sediment transport is also presented in this work. The September 2014 floods will remain historic given that they took 5 human lives and caused enormous material damage for local municipalities, so presented hydrological analysis should be taken as very important part of flood event documentation along with reports of municipalities’ emergency headquarters.

Geoinformation technologies in the evaluation of short-term geomorphic change: An example of Damdere debris flood area (Bulgaria)

A debris flood is a hazardous hydrogeomorphic process that can change the topographic surface in a short time due to a high streamflow and a large volume of sediment transport. Large areas of the Eastern Rhodopes Mountains (Bulgaria) are susceptible to erosion, debris flows, and debris floods due to loose earth masses, rare vegetation, and alternating dry and wet periods with extreme rainfall. The study area is located in the lower part of the river Damdere catchment and covers the area around the check dam. Studying the geomorphic changes of the debris flood areas can provide information about the behavior of the event, and contribute to the development of mitigation measures. In the current research, the data are obtained using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) during two campaigns (in October 2019 and August 2021). After processing the raw TLS data, two pairs of ground point clouds have been obtained- for the area immediately before the check dam and for the one after the dam. To evaluate the changes in the topographic surface, two approaches are applied: (1) measuring the distance between the successive point clouds (M3C2 algorithm) and (2) measuring the differences between the digital terrain models in geographic information system environment (DoD method). Both approaches have shown similar results and indicated active hydrogeomorphic processes. The relatively large volume of deposition after the check dam is an indicator for the decrease in the retaining capacity of the check dam, which is a prerequisite for the increase of a flood risk.

The current study presents the first attempt to investigate the November 2019 catastrophic flash flood in Olympiada (North Greece) under an operational forecasting and monitoring context, based on the mesoscale weather and research forecasting (WRF) model and the integrated multi-satellite retrievals for global precipitation measurement (GPM-IMERG) algorithm. When evaluated against ground-based rainfall measurements, WRF showed an adequate predictive capability concerning the severity of the observed rainfall, even though the model's performance suffered from phase and spatial displacement errors. The GPM-IMERG algorithm yielded the best performance in capturing the timing of the observed excessive rainfall. Concerning the hydrological outcome using the Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS), a strong indication of the forthcoming flash flood could have been provided at least 2 days in advance based on the WRF-based HEC-HMSsimulated flood peak (139.3 m 3 s À1 ), as it was close to the drainage capacity of a constructed bridge in the plain stream bed, and to the 100-year return period flood discharge.
