Short summary
The paper aims to evaluate temporal and spatial processes of urbanization affecting flood events at catchment level. The study sites were Xiaoqinhe catchment, a part of lower Yellow river basin in China. Historic cities Jinan and Zibo in the area have experienced dramatic urban expansion in recent decades, about 5 percent growth of urban build-up area annually from 1990s to 2010s. In the paper, a HEC-HMS model was set up to simulate the possible effects of urbanization on flood characteristics.
