Abstract: In this paper, we model and quantify in forecast mode the soil erosion and sediment yields during one of the most destructive flash floods in recent Greek history. The extreme event known as the flash flood of Mandra occurred in the morning hours of November 15th, 2017, with 300 mm of rainfall falling in approximately 13 hours and an estimated return period between 200 and 500 years (Diakakis et al., 2020). According to the calculations, during the event of Mandra, 2,195 tons and 1,435 tons of sediment were transported to the stream networks of the two under-study torrent basins.
