Abstract: The occurrence of high waters due to climate change is an increasingly common phenomenon, especially in watercourses where there are built-up flood protection systems. Also, recent high-water levels are already surpassing historically recorded flood events, thus putting at risk existing flood protection systems, which were designed according to superseded criteria defined by statistical data modelling. Reducing risks and strengthening resilience and preparedness for effective flood response is achieved by timely and reliable flood warning based on hydrological forecasts. The aim of this paper is to present the concept of a flood early warning system that relies on real-time measurements and simulation models to provide vigilance maps to key experts in flood management. This paper presents an example of the concept in the Kolubara River basin, as well as the implementation of the pilot system in the Tamnava River basin, the left tributary of the Kolubara River.
