Real-time data from automatic hydrological information systems, the SAIH system, in Spain are integrated in a Geographical Information System (GIS) environment. Making intensive use of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), the parameters of the developed distributed hydrological models are estimated. The proposed operational environment, , is applied to the management of flash floods in real time in the basins of the southeast of Spain. This system constitutes a support tool for decision taking, based on spatial analysis, when a flood event occurs.
