Assessing risks of flash flooding using historical information – three examples from northeast England
-
Description
Presentation by David Archer, Geoff Parkin, Hayley Fowler - Newcastle University. "...Flash floods result from intense short duration rainfall, usually convective, that exceeds urban drainage capacity or rural infiltration capacity and hence can cause pluvial flooding of land and property far from rivers. They may also result in very rapid increases in river levels on small catchments which may be transmitted downstream in larger catchments where they may cause danger to life of river users...." -
