What is it about?
This paper analyzes the flood that occurred between 11th and 13th of September 2013 in the upper catchment of the river Geru. The flood was simulated using the program Mike by DHI with the Unitary Hydrograph Method. As input data, we used the precipitation measured at the Automated Hydrological Sensor Station Cudalbi and radar precipitations. We analyzed the importance of accuracy for input data on the simulation results and the direct influence of setting the proper time steps in achieving the simulated discharge hydrograph. It appears that radar precipitations used as input data lead to a discharge hydrograph with low errors for amplitude and phase of the runoff peak. The model can be used in the future to reproduce the floods produced in the analyzed catchment and to study the influence of physical and geographical characteristics of the hillslopes.

Why is it important?
To evaluate surface runoff in small catchments that are homogeneous from the physico-geographical point of view, only the processes of rainfall transformation in runoff are modeled, without the study of flood routing through the riverbeds.
Perspectives
The results obtained by hydrological modeling can be used as input in hydraulic modeling. Hydraulic modeling and the drawing of flood maps are performed in order to predict the development of a high risk flood event, obtain the potentially flooded areas, the water depth in certain locations on the analyzed river sector.
