Resumen

Flash floods occur in mountainous catchments with short response times, which are among the most devastating natural hazards in China. This paper intends to forecast and provide warnings of flash floods timely and precisely using the flash flood warning system, which is established by a new distributed hydrological model (the China flash flood hydrological model, CNFF-HM). Two ungauged mountainous regions, Shunchang and Zherong, are chosen as the study areas. The CNFF-HM is calibrated in five well-monitored catchments. The parameters for the ungauged regions are estimated by regionalization. River water stage data and reservoir water stage data from Shunchang, and reservoir water stage data from Zherong are used to validate the model. The model performs well and the average Nash?Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) is above 0.8 for the five catchments. The validation shows the difference in the timing of flood peaks using the two types of water stage data is less than 1 h. The rising and declining trends of the floods correspond to the observed trends over the entire validation process. Furthermore, the flash flood warning system was effectively applied in flash flood event on 28 September 2016 in Zherong. Thus, the CNFF-HM with regionalization is effective in forecasting flash floods for ungauged mountainous regions.
