Short summary
In tropical regions, flash floods often occur on small ungauged catchments. The scarcity of reliable runoff data and high resolution rainfall data in both spatial and temporal scales is one of the challenges. Thus, intensive guidelines for mapping flash flood hazard in ungauged catchments are urgently needed. Regional frequency analysis can benefit from observed daily rainfall data which are normally available in many countries. Flash flood modelling is applied to delineate flood hazard maps.
