• Abstract:
  This study is a preliminary investigation into the feasibility of using simple techniques to evaluate the effects of urbanization on flood flows in small streams. A number of regression techniques and computer simulation techniques were evaluated, and a recommendation was made that a model similar to those developed by Carter and Anderson be adopted for further investigation. the technique was evaluated against results available for a number of basins located throughout the United States, and reasonable agreeIreI1t noted.
