The early identification technology of flash floods is not only the basis of flash flood disaster prediction and early warning, but also an effective means of flash flood prevention and control. Due to the characteristics of strong suddenness, complex disaster-causing factors, great difficulty in prediction and forecast, and the lack of historical data, it is difficult to effectively prevent and control flash flood disaster. In recent years, extreme rainfall events caused by global climate change have increased, and flash flood disasters are becoming the main types of natural disasters in the world. This work overall confirms the relevance of IRIP methodology while suggesting improvements to its core framework to implement better prevention strategies against SWF-related hazards.įlash flood is one of the extremely destructive natural disasters in the world. Multivariate logistic regression is also used to determine the relative weights of upstream and local topography, uphill production areas and rainfall intensity for explaining SWF occurrence. Land use and soil hydraulic conductivity are identified as the most relevant indicators for IRIP to define production areas responsible for downslope deteriorations. A negative relationshipīetween the mean IRIP accumulation scores and the intensity of rainfall is found among damaged plots, confirming that SWFs preferably occur over potentially riskier areas where rainfall is lower. Proportions of damaged plots become even larger when considering areas which experienced heavier precipitations. The results of this study show that the greater the IRIP susceptibility scores, the more SWFs are detected by the remote sensing-based detection algorithm. Six watersheds in the Aude and Alpes-Maritimes departments in the South of France are investigated over more than 2000 km2 of rural areas during two flash-flood events. Is faced with rainfall radar measurements and damage maps derived from satellite imagery and supervised classification algorithms. Here, the IRIP geomatics mapping model, or “Indicator of Intense Pluvial Runoff”, However, in order for these methods to be applicable for prevention purposes, they need to be comprehensively evaluated using proxy data of runoff-related impacts following a given event. Geomatics approaches have also been developed to map susceptibility towards intense surface runoff without explicit hydrological modeling or event-based rainfall forcing. Using physics-based distributed hydrological models, surface runoff can be simulated from precipitation inputs to investigate regions prone to soil erosion, mudflows or landslides. Along with fluvial floods (FFs), surface water floods (SWFs) caused by extreme overland flow are one of the main flood hazards occurring after heavy rainfall.
