| Note générale : |
With urban grouwth and development, there is an ever-increasing need for flood information and estimating techniques in areas where little or no data exist. In 1978, the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation (FHWA) contracted with the Geological Survey to make a nationwide study of urban flood frequency. The purposes of the study were (1) to review the literature of urban flood studies/ (2) to compile a nationwide data base of flood-frequency characteristics, topographic, physical, and climatic characteristics/ and land-use variables for as many urbanized watersheds as possible/ and (3) to definie estimating techniques that could be used in ungaged urban areas/ This report describe the results of that study. |
