Flash flood indicator - information leaflet

Saturation index is based on daily (for 8 a.m. local time) computation of simple water balance model (precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration). It presents an estimate of saturation. Red shades indicate dry conditions, while shades of green show wetter ground with higher risk of surface runoff generation during precipitation events.
