Abstract:

This report investigates the peak flow at culverts in Vermont. A tool was developed using a geographic information system to quickly identify the parameters for estimating flow volume in order to assess the likelihood of flood damage to existing or planned infrastructure. The tool was developed to analyze environments in New England, whereas previous studies were insufficient for the region’s unique climate and terrain. The tool was found to be successful in deriving an equation to predict peak flow estimation at all of Vermont’s bridges and culverts. The report recommends further fine-tuning in order to expand its usage.
