Abstract
This paper aims to analyze, especially in terms of space, the phenomenon of flooding for Cernăteşti locality, dated May 29, 2012. In the context of high intensity torrential rains, in a short period of time, in this period occurred flash-floods of high intensity on Slănic river, producing catastrophic floods in Cernăteşti locality. Thus, for a rigorous analysis of spatial occurrence of these hydrological risk phenomena, were used detailed cartographic materials like 1:5000 topographic plans overlapped to analyzed territory. Also, have been analyzed and synoptic conditions directly responsible for floods extent with disastrous effects on socio-economic component. The results certified that, due to the synergy between torrential rainfall and local morphometry, 60 ha of Slănic water meadow sector was flooded on Cernăteşti locality segment, when more than 20 buildings and almost 500 m of the local accessiblity infrastucture were damaged
Highlights
In the current stage, the rigorous forecast of hydrological risk phenomena such as floods and flash-floods is a very difficult task
Most of the speciality studies appeals to a range of hydrological models (Reed et al, 2007, Looper & Vieux, 2012 etc.), meteorological (Koutroulis & Tsanis, 2010, Villarini et al, 2010 etc.) or hydrometeorological (Alfieri et al, 2012) related to the pattern of manifestation of flash-floods and floods, but these models have a series of drawbacks related to the precise predictability of intensity and frequency of these hydrological risk phenomena
This paper aims to investigate both synoptic conditions directly responsible for triggering floods phenomena on May 29, 2012 in the locality Cernăteşti, but especially the spatial delimitation of areas affected by these extreme hydrometeorological phenomena with negative impact on socioeconomic elements
Summary
The rigorous forecast of hydrological risk phenomena such as floods and flash-floods is a very difficult task. Most of the speciality studies appeals to a range of hydrological models (Reed et al, 2007, Looper & Vieux, 2012 etc.), meteorological (Koutroulis & Tsanis, 2010, Villarini et al, 2010 etc.) or hydrometeorological (Alfieri et al, 2012) related to the pattern of manifestation of flash-floods and floods, but these models have a series of drawbacks related to the precise predictability of intensity and frequency of these hydrological risk phenomena. At European level, Romania is among the first countries in terms of floods risk along with other countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe (Roo et al, 2007).
