Analyse d’une alerte massive arrivée tardivement lors des inondations survenues à Valence (Espagne) le 29 octobre 2024
Les inondations survenues le 29 octobre 2024 au sud de Valence (Espagne) ont entraîné un lourd bilan humain (229 personnes décédées) et matériel (22 milliards d’euros de dégâts). Les intensités des pluies ont entraîné des réactions hydrologiques brutales et violentes. Mais de nombreux acteurs ont toutefois remis en cause l’arrivée tardive de l’alerte à la population : la première alerte a été diffusée sur les téléphones portables à 20h11, alors q…
Reply to Comment on ‘The central role of forests in the 2021 European floods’ by Arie Staal and Gerbrand Koren
In their comment, Staal and Koren replicate our experiment using a different methodology, namely a Lagrangian moisture tracking method. Their results largely agree with ours, which is therefore a good indication of the high robustness and accuracy of these findings. Although this comparison is of great value, to a large extent their comment is a criticism of our interpretation of the results, with which we disagree. Their main objection refers to…
The central role of forests in the 2021 European floods
Plants play a key role in the hydrological cycle, yet their contribution to extreme rainfall remains uncertain. Here we show that more than half of the vast amounts of water accumulated in the recent Germany and Belgium floods were supplied by vegetation (41% from transpiration, 11% from interception loss). We found that intercontinental transport of moisture from North American forests (which contributed more than 463 billion liters of water to …
Understanding flood regime changes in Europe
There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed. The paper reviews the current knowledge on flood regime changes in European rivers that has been obtained through two approaches. The first approach is the detection of change based on observed flood events. Current methods are reviewed together with their challenges and oppor…
