Abstract
Abstract Results of estimates of peak runoff are discussed using the slope-area method in hilly regions with poor adjustment of channel morphology to high flows. Small rivers have been investigated in four areas with three different — monsoon, mediterranean and semi arid — climates. Despite the inaccurate nature of the method, a meaningful interpretation of the results could be made. In three areas the peak flows grouped well according to the main morpholithologic units. In the semi-arid area and the lithology and geomorphology did not seem to affect the peak flows with great return periods. Applications of the results in data-scarce areas are mentioned.
