Short summary
Flash floods are important hazards in urbanised zone and constitute important human and financial stakes. This paper applies a novel methodology, KnoX, dedicated to extract knowledge from a neural network model. It was shown that KnoX method could help to better characterize processes of both surface and underground floods. A case study is chosen in France: the Lez karst hydrosystem whose river crosses the city of Montpellier (400 000 inhabitants). Results will help flood warning services.
