This document discusses a methodology for delineating flood prone areas using digital elevation models. It examines using geomorphological characteristics derived from DEMs, like topographic wetness index, slope, and curvature, to identify areas likely to flood. It tests this approach on river basins in Italy. The results show it can accurately delineate flood inundation areas with some overestimation. The methodology works best with higher resolution DEMs and the optimal scale and parameters may vary between sites.
