The accuracy of flood forecasting in small and medium-sized basins in arid and semi-arid regions needs to be improved, primarily due to a limited understanding of critical factors such as topographic features, critical rainfall, time of concentration, and recurrence intervals. In this paper, Xiahe County, Gansu Province, which is located in the semi-arid region, and Yongchang County, Gansu Province, which is located in the arid region, are selected as the research objects. Field investigations were carried out on flood-related factors across 34 small basins in 86 riverine villages of Xiahe County (2015) and 240 cross-sections in 395 riverine villages of Yongchang County (2014).
