Short summary
This study shows how intense rainfall at the steep and narrow catchment area of the northeastern part of the Black Sea can cause flash-flooding events and significantly influence coastal water quality. They change the point-source spread of continental discharge, dominated by several large rivers, to the line-source discharge from numerous small rivers located along the coast and induce intense alongshore transport of suspended and dissolved constituents discharged with river waters.
