       abstract = "This paper illustrates the potential of automatic differentiation (AD) for very
         challenging problems related to the modeling of complex environmental systems prone to floods.
         Numerical models are driven by inputs (initial conditions, boundary conditions and parameters) which
         cannot be directly inferred from measurements. For that reason, robust and efficient methods are
         required to assess the effects of inputs variations on computed results and estimate the key inputs
         to fit available observations. We thus consider variational data assimilation to solve the parameter
         estimation problem for a river hydraulics model, and adjoint sensitivity analysis for a
         rainfall-runoff model, two essential components involved in the generation and propagation of
         floods. Both applications require the computation of the gradient of a functional, which can be
         simply derived from the solution of an adjoint model. The adjoint method, which was successfully
         applied in meteorology and oceanography, is described from its mathematical formulation to its
         practical implementation using the automatic differentiation tool TAPENADE.",
