Flash floods typically develop in a period a few hours or less
and can arise from heavy rainfall and other causes, such as dam or
flood defence breaches, and ice jam breaks. The rapid development,
often associated with a high debris content, can present a
considerable risk to people and property. This book describes
recent developments in techniques for monitoring and forecasting
the development of flash floods, and providing flood warnings.
Topics which are discussed include rainfall and river monitoring,
nowcasting, Numerical Weather Prediction, rainfall-runoff
modelling, and approaches to the dissemination of flood warnings
and provision of an emergency response.
The book is potentially useful on civil engineering, water
resources, meteorology and hydrology courses (and for post graduate
studies) but is primarily intended as a review of the topic for a
wider audience.
