Abstract:The water resource design community in Kansas, including the Kansas Department of Transportation
(KDOT), is required to obtain appropriate permits for construction projects. Projects that involve stream
modification, including drainage structures, must define the Ordinary High Water (OHW) level or mark and
the related discharge (QOHW) for compliance and permitting purposes.
The purpose of this report is to provide guidance on both the definition of the OHW level and the
hydrologic estimation of the discharge responsible for the OHW level in rural Kansas streams. This report
provides two methods for the hydrologic estimation of the discharge responsible for the ordinary high water
level in Kansas: a regression-based approach and a HEC-HMS flood hydrograph simulation method.
