The effects of global warming are becoming more and more felt by changing climatic conditions across the entire surface of the earth. Thus, in some regions of the Earth's surface, catastrophic floods have begun to occur more and more often due to the increase in both the occurrence frequency and the intensity of torrential rains. In order to reduce the flood damage, it is necessary to prepare hazard maps and flood risk maps. These maps are prepared using hydraulic simulation of the flood propagation on the waterco...

Construction of water storage lakes, necessary for different uses (irrigation in agriculture, water supply for population), implies sizing of the facility so that it can permit the transition of flood flows that could happen on the river where the water storage lake is positioned (built). Such a water storage lake is dimensioned, according to normative standards, for a flood which corresponds to a certain probability calculation. Taking into account the fact that frequently from the moment of finishing the constru...

The purpose of this paper is to present the flood hazard maps using 2D hydraulic modeling. Many economic, social, environmental losses as well as casualties, occur annually due to floods [4]. To reduce the risk of hazard, flood hazard and risk maps are required for different probabilities of their production and creating models that can predict floods in production time, based on information received from sensors located on watersheds. Very important for an effective management against floods have become nonstruct...
