| Summary: | "Flood magnitudes for selected recurrence intervals for unregulated streams in Kansas were found to be related most significantly to the contributing drainage area and the 2-year 24-hour rainfall. Equations are provided for estimating flood peaks for selected recurrence intervals at ungaged sites or at gaging stations having short records. The accuracy of 100-year floods calculated frpm the equation is equivalent to the accuracy that would be obtained from about 12 years of record of flood peaks at the site"--Abstract. |
