SAWSC rural flood-frequency regression models (R scripts and applications) [child item]: Model Archive for Magnitude and Frequency of Floods for Rural Streams in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, 2017
Reliable estimates of the magnitude and frequency of floods are an important part of the framework for hydraulic-structure design and flood-plain management in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Annual peak flows measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamgages are used to compute flood-frequency estimates at those streamgages. Flood-frequency estimates also are needed at ungaged stream locations. A process known as regionalization was used to develop regression equations to estimate the magnitude and frequency of floods at ungaged locations.
This USGS data release serves as the model archive for the at-site flood-frequency statistics and regression models that were developed as a part of this study.
