| Summary: | The <i>Santa Tecla</i> flash flood, a very heavy event occurred in Tàrrega
(Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula) in 1874, was reconstructed with
hydraulic and hydrological modelling tools. The hydrograph obtained in a
first stage and the basin soil moisture information ultimately allowed the
estimation of the range of the rainstorm magnitude which caused the
flash flood. The reconstruction of historical floods has proved useful to improve the
flood probability analysis, especially in ungauged basins. |
