Exceptional flood events in the summer of 2018 in Trebes Negel Reprezentativ bazin (Romania)
(Corresponding) Paveluc L., Grozavu A., Cojoc G., Hutanu E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
In the summer of 2018, the general unstable weather throughout the central and eastern parts of Romania has led to significant rainfall, sometimes exceeding 60 mm/day, and consequently to a massive runoff on the slopes that rapidly increased the flow on tributaries and the main course of the river...Read more
The Intensity – duration (I-D) curves towards to a spatially distributed flood early warning tool (F-EWT)
(Corresponding) Feloni E., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Attica region suffers from rainfall events of high intensity, inducing flash-floods and significant damages in the urbanized areas. This analysis concerns the determination of the maximum intensity-duration thresholds regarding flooding (F) or non-flooding (NF) regime, using the available...Read more

Hydrological and hydraulic modelling for a severe flood event in Sperchios River Basin
(Corresponding) Bournas A., Feloni E., Bertsiou M., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
A combined hydrological and hydraulic analysis is presented for an extreme flood event occurred on February 6, 2012 in Sperchios River Basin, located in Central Greece. This event caused the river’s overflow and, consequently, several damages to infrastructure and agricultural land. Sperchios River...Read more
Revision of the Scarcity State Indicator in the Spanish Drought Management Plans
(Corresponding) Palop-Donat C., Paredes-Arquiola J., Andreu-Álvarez J.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Droughts are one of the gravest natural threats currently existing in the world and their occurrence and intensity might be exacerbated due to Climate Change. Scarcity is defined as the period when demand does not accomplish the normal reliability levels due to poor water management. Water and...Read more

Fuzzy Relation Between The RDIst Index And The Water Table Of A Coastal Aquifer of Nestos Delta, Greece
(Corresponding) Papadopoulos C., Gkiougkis I., Spiliotis M., Pliakas F., Papadopoulos B.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Drought is a complicated natural extreme event associated with the decline of water availability below the normal conditions of a hydrological system, both from a temporal and from a spatial point of view. This work aims to assess the drought impacts on groundwater fluctuation in a shallow coastal...Read more

Effect of the dependence structure and time irreversibility of streamflow in flood inundation mapping with focus on the long-term persistence behaviour
(Corresponding) Dimitriadis P., Iliopoulou T., Papanicolaou P., Koutsoyiannis D.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
The marginal structure of streamflow, with focus on the right tail behaviour, is considered as the main factor in flood risk assessment, while little is known on the effect of the temporal dependence structure and irreversibility of streamflow. Interestingly, the second-order dependence behaviour...Read more
Simulation of an urban flash flood: the 2017 flood event in Mandra, Attica
Handrinos S., (Corresponding) Bellos V., Sibetheros I.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
This study deals with the 2D flood simulation of an urban flash flood event that took place on November 15, 2017 in Mandra, Attica. The well-known hydrodynamic software HEC-RAS was used for the flood simulation. The model input was an ensemble of 100 hydrographs, derived from the simulation of the...Read more
Analysis of the hydrologic conditions during the flood event occurred in Mandra, Greece, on November 2017
(Corresponding) Feloni E., Theochari A., Skroufouta S., Bournas A., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
On November 15, 2017 a flash flood struck West Attica with intense effects in the settlement of Mandra, causing human losses as well as extensive material damages. The aim of this work is to examine this flood event from a hydrological perspective in order to highlight the diversity of estimations...Read more
Evaluation of urban flood characteristics through the spatial analysis of flood-related factors and flood incidents recorded in the western side of Athens basin on October 24, 2014
(Corresponding) Feloni E., Anayiotos A., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
On October 24, 2014, a severe flood event took place in the entire Athens basin with extensive damages due to a short-duration rainfall event of high intensity. This work focuses on the analysis of the characteristics of this specific flood event by investigating the influence of various factors on...Read more
Evaluating flooding impact to riverine bridges. The case of the Historical Bridge of Arta in Epirus, Greece
(Corresponding) Panagiotatou E., Mitsopoulos G., Stamou A.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
ABSTRACT
Climate impacts are expected to intensify weather related flooding events that are the most common and damaging natural disaster. Riverine bridges are particularly prone to failure during floods and their disruption may impair significantly flood evacuation plans. Thus, in the design of...Read more
