During the last decades the extreme hydrometeorological events increased. Respectively the needs for more accurate estimation of the precipitation amounts have increased. One of the opportunities to get denser precipitation data in space and time is through the remote-sensing. Satellite-based products allow obtaining spatially distributed hydrologic variables and could be very useful in the modeling of the elements of the hydrological cycle. A big variety of hydrological models exist nowadays. In this study the fu...

Floods are natural phenomena which cannot be prevented. In order to avoid and reduce the adverse impacts of floods for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity it is important to provide flood risk management plans. Development of flood risk management plans under Directive 2007/60/EC are elements of integrated river basin management. For the implementation of Directive 2007/60 / EC, Member States need to carry out a preliminary flood risk assessment based on available or readily deri...

Urban floods, which are most often caused by intensive rainfall and the fast formation of surface runoff, cause great damage to the urban population and infrastructure. Due to the stochastic (random) nature of precipitation, it is not entirely possible to achieve reliable operation of sewer systems. We can only try to design and operate them in the most reliable way. Urbanization and changes in climatic conditions are one of the main factors for increasing the frequency of flash and rain floods in urban conditions...
