ABSTRACT. – Deriving flash floods in the case of simulated precipitations.
The present study sets to determine the historical flash-floods on the Petriș
watershed making use of the implemented mathematical models in a Hydrological
Modeling System. In order to simulate the 1%, 2% and 10% exceedance probability
flash-floods, the Intensity-Frequency-Duration (IDF) curves have been built on
the basis of 22 years of precipitation records (1988-2009). They serve as input
data together with the hydrological parameters identified by the means of a
Geographic Information Systems. The results, computed mainly on the basis of the
Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method, consist of hyetographs and hydrographs
at the outlet of the main watershed, as well as to that of the ungauged
tributaries of the Petriș River.
