These palaeoflood indicators
can be correlated to define the palaeoflood water
surface profiles along the river channel. Hydraulic
computations using either one- or two-dimensional
hydraulic models can provide a good estimation of the
discharges associated with the palaeostage indicators
(O’Connor and Webb, 1988; Webb and Jarrett, 2002;
Denlinger et al., 2002).
