Development of flood forecasting approach based on rainfall-runoff models by comparative tests over a large sample of catchments
Développement d'une approche de prévision de crues basée sur les modèles pluie-débit par un test comaparatif sur un large échantillon de bassins
Résumé
The objective of the presentation is to give an overview of the results obtained by a step-wise development of a flood forecasting method based on simple rainfall-runoff models. The approach is mainly empirical, but was carried out on a large sample of more than 200 catchments.The method shows robusts results in comparison with other classical flood forecasting methods when applied on a large dataset.
