Abstract

In recent years, climate conditions has caused extreme hydrological phenomena like flash floods that lead to significant material losses and impact on the environment in Dobrogea Region, Romania. In this context the needs for an integrated and sustainable approach to flash flood risk management even in small drainage basins are necessary, in order to reduce the the potential damages of flash floods in the future. In this study the hydraulic models Hec-Ras and HecGeo-Ras were used in order to simulate the behaviour of the environment at the pressure of the flashfloods in a small drainage basin. The results were validated using the measurements undertaken after the flash-flood event recorded in October, 13th, 2015 as well as the data provided by the Corbu gauging station along time.
