Abstract
This chapter highlights the hydrogeological technical elements contained in the 17 chapters presented in the book according to its five themes. Therefore, this chapter contains information on analysis: extreme rainfall analysis and critical design aspects of flash floods, recent technologies for investigating flash flood, environmental approaches in flash flood, hazards, risk and utilization of flash floods, and prediction and mitigation of flash flood.
