Short summary
The karst flash floods are responsible for many deaths and involve many material damages. Because they are rapid and intense, they are poorly known, and because the meteorological prediction is very uncertain, the forecasting these floods is a real challenge. To face the karst flash floods forecasting, this study develops two operational tools to help reducing the durations of intervention of the safeguards and optimizing the flood risk planning management.
