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
