Abstract
This paper aims to present the flood warning model — MOPEH which has been used in the São Paulo Flood Warning System, a real time system for rain and flood forecasting. This model uses empirical concepts and establishes hydrological conditions for many areas subject to floods due to different drainage problems. São Paulo has more than 500 flood critical areas and this empirical approach was necessary considering the lack of information and the complexity of the system. Some recent results showed the good performance of the model.
