A distributed rainfall model is generated with the specific data recorded by the rain gauges of the catchment during the episode. To describe the process of water routing in the hydrological cycle of the basin, a model is used based on combinations of parallel linear reservoirs (PLR model), distribution by the basin, and tip-out into its drainage network configured using a digital terrain model (DTM). This PLR model allows simulation of the different actual reservoirs of the basin, including the snow and the contribution due to its melting which, in the model, depends on the temperature. The PLR model also allows for a water budget of the episode where, in addition to the effective rainfall contribution, the water that comes from the thaw is taken into account. The PLR model also allows determination of the amount of water that exists in the basin before and after the episode, data of great interest. When comparing the simulations with and without taking into account the thawing process, it is evident that the intervention of the snow reservoir has been decisive in causing a flood to occur. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/Research Group-Analysis of Continental Sedimentary Basins info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.108 2019 Water Science and Technology 2019 Q2 Biochemistry 2019 Q3 Fluid Flow and Transfer Processes 2019 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-3859-0248 Castillo-Mateo, Jorge (orcid)0000-0001-8286-4088 Sanchez-Navarro, José Ángel Universidad de Zaragoza Fuertes-Rodriguez, Víctor (orcid)0000-0001-5835-6390 Garcia-Gil, Alejandro Universidad de Zaragoza Edo-Romero, Vanesa 2000 427 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
