| Notes | "Techniques are provided for estimating flood magnitudes for streams in the urbanized parts of the Roseburg, Oregon area for exceedance probabilites (recurrence intervals) of 0.5 (2-year), 0.2 (5-year), 0.1 (10-year), 0.04 (25-year), 0.02 (50-year) and 0.01 (100-year). A network of four continuous-recording streamflow gages, three crest-stage gages, and six precipitation gages was established and operated for a 3- year period (1982 to 1984). A U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff model was calibrated for each site where runoff was measured and was used to produce a series of synthetic flood peaks." (from the Abstract) |
