Mediterranean environments are dominated by episodes of torrential rain, whereby the critical parameter is not so much the amount of rain these episodes accumulate, but rather the intensity they can reach. The heavy intensities that extreme events can achieve are critical in the dynamics of soil erosion; those related to triggering of debris-flow and above all in hydrology, as they affect rainfall-runoff conversion processes, runoff and coefficient thresholds and flash floods generation.
