Using the latest topographic maps, the drainage basins, the hydrologic, topographic and morpho-tectonic parameters have been generated from the elevation thematic layer namely; the virtual elevation model (DEM) turned into appropriately decided and analyzed. The carried-out technique discovered that the hydrologic and morphometric parameters play essential roles in flash flood contributing factors. The low slopes regions are related to low runoff linked and excessive sediment accumulation.
