Sažetak
The suddenness and unexpectedness attended with catastrophic consequences are main characteristic of any flash flood. Karst flash floods have much specific charac-teristics, which will be described in this paper. Interaction between overland flow, fast rising of groundwater and overflow of groundwater from karst massif exists simulta-neously during karst flash flood. Unexpected and rash occurrence of many abundant intermittent karst springs is one of the main characteristics of karst flash flood. On 6 December 2004 was a karst flash flood in the Marina bay situated on the central part of the Croatian Adriatic Sea cost. This was a strong karst flash flood caused by extremely intensive precipitation. During about four hours dropped 207 mm of precipitation. The consequences of this flood were catastrophic.
