Interdisciplinary
frameworks for studying natural hazards and their temporal trends have an
important potential in data generation for risk assessment, land use
planning, and therefore the sustainable management of resources. This
paper focuses on the adjustments required because of the wide variety of
scientific fields involved in the reconstruction and characterisation of
flood events for the past 1000 years. The aim of this paper is to describe
various methodological aspects of the study of flood events in their
historical dimension, including the critical evaluation of old documentary
and instrumental sources, flood-event classification and hydraulic
modelling, and homogeneity and quality control tests. Standardized
criteria for flood classification have been defined and applied to the
Isère and Drac floods in France, from 1600 to 1950, and to the Ter, the
Llobregat and the Segre floods, in Spain, from 1300 to 1980.
The analysis on the Drac and Isère data series from
1600 to the present day showed that extraordinary and catastrophic floods
were not distributed uniformly in time. However, the largest floods
(general catastrophic floods) were homogeneously distributed in time
within the period 1600–1900. No major flood occurred during the 20th
century in these rivers. From 1300 to the present day, no homogeneous
behaviour was observed for extraordinary floods in the Spanish rivers. The
largest floods were uniformly distributed in time within the period 1300–1900,
for the Segre and Ter rivers. |
