Abstract
The flood monitoring carried out by Roshydromet is aimed at preventing (forecasting) and alerting the achievement of critical (hazardous) water levels in water bodies to reduce the negative effect of floods. Based on long-term observations at Roshydromet gaging stations on the Northwestern Federal District rivers with established critical water levels at which an inundation of coastal territories occurs, the hazard category is determined for the past river floods, and their quantification is provided. Gaging stations with a high frequency of exceeding hazardous water levels leading to a partial flooding of settlements and economic facilities are identified. The main reason for flooding in these cases was the use of riverside areas without considering peculiarities of the water regime of rivers.
