Flash floods are known to result in excessive damage and loss of lives due to lack of early warning systems. In this study, characteristics of a flash flood occurred in Morphou region in North Cyprus on 18th of January, 2010 are studied and some remedial measures are proposed. Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of this flood event has been developed for decision-making concerning type and degree of implementation of these measures. Since there is no any stream flow gauging station along the creeks in the study area, the synthetic unit hydrograph is developed by using the US Soil Conversation Service method to obtain design flood hydrographs. Two remedial alternatives are eventually tested. Based on cost analyses, the one that is to build a detention basin for storing water and a lateral channel for diverting extra flow from Bostanci Creek to Fabrika Creek, is found to be feasible. In addition, flow carrying capacities of the creeks are improved.

Evaluation of numerical weather prediction models for flash flood warnings in Turkey
Aksoy, Mehmet; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-10-15)
Flash floods are among the most destructive natural disasters in both Turkey and world that cause loss of life and property. In this study, monthly distribution of heavy rainfall events in the period of 2015-2019 is examined to show the frequency and distribution of flash floods associated with these heavy rainfall events in Turkey. The monthly distribution of lightning observations for the period of 2015 and 2019 is also studied to release the relationship between heavy rainfall events and lightning ...
Assessment of different rainfall products in flood simulations
Özkaya, Arzu; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
Floods happening due to heavy rainfall are one of the most widespread natural hazards. To predict such events, accurate rainfall products and well calibrated hydrologic models are essential especially in urban settlements for life savings. With the objective of assessing the rain detection potential of rainfall data products, several hourly rainfall datasets are used as forcing inputs in two hydrologic models. Physic based distributed model, WRF-Hydro, and conceptual based lumped model, HEC HMS, are used to...
A case study on development of flood mitigation measures
Durğut, Aybike Ceren; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-25)
Severe floods have negative impacts on the infrastructural facilities in residential areas and inconveniences to socio-economical conditions. Therefore, it is a must to mitigate these adverse effects by implementing some structural measures. This study deals with the proposal of some detention basins in the upstream part of a critical area, which is located between the embankments of Ankara-Eskişehir highway and Ankara-İstanbul conventional railway. It is intended to offset the possibility of overtopp...
Numerical simulation of infiltration and evaporation for unsaturated infinite soil slopes
Kenanoğlu, Melih Birhan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
Rainfall triggered landslides are common threat in many regions of the world and cause loss of lives and properties. These are shallow failures (typically 3-5 m depths from the ground surface) that occur along a plane parallel to the ground surface where the groundwater level is located at significant depths below, and they are triggered after a heavy rainfall in a short time or after days of lower intensity rainfall (Huvaj et al., 2013). Considering a failure plane oriented parallel to the ground surface, ...
Experimental investigations of flood management by an engineered levee breach
Ibrahim, Ibrahim Adil; Çalamak, Melih; LaRocque, Lindsey; Imran, Jasim (2019-01-01)
Extreme flooding has become more prevalent due to climate change and has been causing extensive damage, loss of property, and fatalities around the world. Levees are often constructed to prevent inundation in floodplains and urban areas. Flood mitigation efforts during extreme floods include forcing a breach in the levee at a strategic location to avoid flooding at target locations. A well-known example of engineered levee breaches along the Mississippi River is the New Madrid Floodway at Birds Point, contr...
