Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2004 Advances in flood forecasting have been constrained by the difficulty of estimating rainfall continuously over space, for catchment-, national- and continental-scale areas. This has had a concomitant impact on the choice of appropriate model formulations for given flood-forecasting applications. Whilst weather radar used in combination with raingauges –

Forecasting Earthquake-Induced Floods
Eos, 2023 Surface-rupturing earthquakes can abruptly reroute rivers when fault scarps function like dams. Researchers have now successfully modeled such an event that occurred in New Zealand.

Improving flood forecasting capability of physically based distributed hydrological models by parameter optimization [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Physically based distributed hydrological models (hereafter referred to as PBDHMs) divide the terrain of the whole catchment into a number of grid cells at fine resolution and assimilate different terrain data and precipitation to different cells.
