Abstract:Regression equations for estimating flood discharges are needed in Maryland for the design of bridges and culverts and estimation of bridge scour. These equations are updated whenever additional data are available to improve the existing equations. For the three hydrologic regions in western Maryland, there are now 13 additional years of annual peak data at gaging stations in these regions and an additional 26 gaging stations with 10 or more years of record. Many of the additional gaging stations were on urban streams and the updated regression equations provide more accurate estimates of flood discharges for urban streams.
