Floods in the North-Western Meditrerranean Region : presentation of the HYMEX database and comparison with pre-existing global databases

The contribution presents the database on floods (1981-2010) that is being developed in the framework of HYMEX project and the preliminary results obtained for the NW sector of Mediterranean region. This database contains data on damages and the main hydrometeorological features of each reported eve...
