• Abstract:
  This report presents new regional flood frequency equations intended to replace the Extended Rational and Three Variable Regression equations introduced in K-TRAN: KU-06-4, Flood Frequency Relationships for Small Watersheds in Kansas (McEnroe, Young, & Rome, 2007). This update was necessitated by the publication of new National Weather Service (NWS) rainfall frequency estimates for the Midwest in NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8 (Perica et al., 2013)
