| Zusammenfassung |
| In the present research, we exploited a continuous hydrological simulation
to investigate on key variables responsible of flood peak formation. With
this purpose, a distributed hydrological model (DREAM) is used in cascade
with a rainfall generator (IRP-Iterated Random Pulse) to simulate a large
number of extreme events providing insight into the main controls of flood
generation mechanisms. Investigated variables are those used in
theoretically derived probability distribution of floods based on the
concept of partial contributing area (e.g. Iacobellis and Fiorentino, 2000).
The continuous simulation model is used to investigate on the hydrological
losses occurring during extreme events, the variability of the source area
contributing to the flood peak and its lag-time. Results suggest interesting
simplification for the theoretical probability distribution of floods
according to the different climatic and geomorfologic environments. The
study is applied to two basins located in Southern Italy with different
climatic characteristics. |
