Abstract:

The central purpose of this report is to present methods ; for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods on ; urban and small, rural streams in the Southeast United States ; with particular focus on Georgia, South Carolina, and North ; Carolina. Consequently, in this report the use of the term ; “Southeast” refers specifically to Georgia, South Carolina, ; and North Carolina. The analytical techniques described in ; the report incorporate both urban and rural streamgages and, ; therefore, can be applied to urban and small, rural streams. In ; the Southeast rural flood-frequency investigation by Gotvald ; and others (2009), Weaver and others (2009), and Feaster ; and others (2009), the lower limit of drainage area for the ; rural basins included was 1 square mile (mi2 ; ). The lower ; limit of drainage area for rural basins included in the current ; investigation is 0.1 mi2 ; . Consequently, in this report, small, ; rural streams refer to those with drainage areas less than 1 mi2 ; . ; In addition, the scope of the investigation does not include ; the Blue Ridge region due to an insufficient number of urban ; streamgages.
