Abstract

Recently running climate changes have resulted in an increased incidence of natural phenomenon that can adversely affect the life of people - so called flash floods. A typical characteristic of these floods is their very rapid onset, relatively short peak and rapid retreat. This short period varies and might range somewhere between few minutes up to one hour. In addition, these flash floods often affect areas without recent precipitations.
