Abstract
In July 1997, in East Europe long lasting intense rainfalls took place. Floods in Moravia, East Bohemia brought about fifty deaths, 10 billion dollars losses and 29000 habitations and hundreds of industrial plants devastation. In order to analyse all aspects of rainfall-flow processes (from meteorologic causes in the troposphere to changes in the underground water after the occurence), a pluridisciplinary team was set up. Their conclusions may lead to measures for preparing the coming back of such extreme phenomena.
