Richard H. Tice 1968 <p>Flood magnitude-frequency relation applicable to streams in the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River, Va., are presented in this report. &nbsp;The relations are based on flood data collected at 487 gaging stations having&nbsp;5 or more years of record not materially affected by regulation. For sites on most streams, the magnitude of a flood of any given frequency between 1.1 and 50&nbsp;years can be determined from two curves - one expressing the relation between&nbsp;the mean annual flood and size of draining basin and the other expressing the&nbsp;ratio to the mean annual flood of floods of other recurrence intervals. For New&nbsp;Jersey streams, an adjustment to the mean annual flood is based on the percentage&nbsp;of surface area covered by lakes and swamps in the basin.</p> application/pdf 10.3133/wsp1672 en U.S. Government Printing Office Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States; part 1-B.
