During the 1970s, a massive flood protection and channel modification program was developed; in spite of those efforts, the Mondego River asserted itself on a grand scale in the winter of 2000/200 L At the height of the flooding, almost all the alluvial plain was under water. This paper presents these important floods, which constitute a good case study of an inland flood hazard. It addresses physical controls on flooding, flood processes and effects on the alluvial plain, and the human response to flooding.
