Abstract

In Slovakia, the year 2011 can be characterized as dry with an irregular distribution of rainfall during the whole year. However, there were also some important hydrological events in form of flash floods. One of them a flash flood on the River Gidra, which passes the village of Pila situated below the Small Carpathians. A numerical simulation of this type of flood event was the main goal of the research in order to avoid the future devastating consequences of these kinds of floods. It was necessary to setup a mathematical model of the river using the HEC-RAS modeling tool to develop a correct evaluation of the flood course and to design appropriate flood protection measures, which will enable the interception of flood waves and to protect people and their property.
