Abstract

The application of geological data in view of the recent advances in Paleoflood hydrology is essential as a complement to conventional hydrological approaches. The utilization of geological data such as sedimentology, stratigraphy and their combination with other sciences, such as geomorphology and hydrology, have been particularly considered due to the existence of ambiguities in the mere use of applied statistics in flood studies. These data provide information from rivers without a hydrometric station. It is also possible to obtain longer information from hydrometric stations by using these data. The most important methods that are considered in this approach are: river flow regime method, Paleolithic Standard Indexes, river flow potentiality method, and botanical methods.
