Methods for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in the southwestern United States

Thomas, Blakemore E.; Hjalmarson, H. W.; Waltemeyer, Scott D.

Abstract:

Methods were developed for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods at gaged and ungaged sites in the Southwestern United States. Estimating equations for ungaged sites were developed by transferring information from gaged to ungaged sites using multiple regression and a hybrid method developed during this study. The methods and analysis are described, and information from more than 1,300 gaged sites is tabulated.
