In the Dolomites, short-duration and high-intensity rainfalls produce abundant surface runoff in headwater catchments. These discharges often trigger debris flows on the scree slopes placed at the base of rock cliffs. With the aim to quantify the discharges delivered by these headwater catchments and associated rainfalls, we built a measuring facility at the outlet (elevation 1770 m a.s.l.) of a rocky channel incised on the Dimai Peak, near Cortina d'Ampezzo (Belluno province) in the Venetian Dolomites (North Eastern Italian Alps). The channel delivers surface runoff gathered by a small impervious headwater catchment (area ~0.032 km^2, average slope ~320%). The facility consists of a monitoring station equipped with a rain gauge, and trape...
