Randomized trial reconstructs flood dynamics in L'Horta Sud, indicating new hydrological insights and risks.

This study aims to integrate various modelling approaches to reconstruct the flood event and understand its causes and impact in l'Horta Sud.
Combined high-resolution precipitation analysis with hydrological and sediment transport modelling.
Utilized two-dimensional hydraulic simulations to model flood propagation and inundation patterns.
Reconstructed rainfall fields using data from a dense rain-gauge network at daily and 10-minute resolutions.
Hydrological simulations indicated a synchronized basin response with an upstream inflow of approximately 7,000 m³/s before significant floodplain storage.
Sediment transport accounted for about 7% of the total flood volume during the event.
The agreement between simulated discharges and observed inundation supports the validity of the integrated reconstruction.

Beneyto et al. (2026) studied this question.
