National flood-frequency program--methods for estimating flood magnitude and frequency in rural areas in Utah

Update Item Information
Title National flood-frequency program--methods for estimating flood magnitude and frequency in rural areas in Utah
Subject Flood forecasting; Flood control
Description Estimates of the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges and flood hydrographs are used for a variety of purposes, such as for the design of bridges, culverts, and flood-control structures; and for the management and regulation of flood plains. To provide simple methods of estimating flood-peak discharges, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed and published equations for every State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and a number of metropolitan areas in the United States. Fact sheets that describe application of the updated NFF Program to various areas of the Nation are available. This fact sheet describes the application of the updated NFF Program to streams that drain rural areas in Utah.
