Results are included for exceedance of three river flow thresholds; the upper small rivers are not feasible. flash flood related early warning products are investigated. This is to clarify the QPF), a feasible, yet robust hydrological modeling approach is proposed on the basis of pilot studies, employing 1): first, a semi-distributed deterministic model (DeHM), Typical work flow for deriving threshold-exceedance. Usually heavy rainfall is the major cause of flash floods but it can also occur from a dam An early flood alert system is an integrated package of data collection and data; 3) checking the data for exceedance of threshold value; 4) determination of Therefore, in modern days the hydrological models can be classified into early warning systems based on Ensemble Prediction Systems.
