River flood plains: Some observations on their formation
M. Gordon Wolman, Luna Bergere Leopold
1957, Professional Paper 282-C
On many small rivers and most great rivers, the flood plain consists of channel and overbank deposits. The proportion of the latter is generally very small.Frequency studies indicate that the flood plains of many streams of different sizes flowing in diverse physiographic and climatic regions are subject to flooding about...
Computation of peak discharge at culverts
Rolland William Carter
1957, Circular 376
Methods for computing peak flood flow through culverts on the basis of a field survey of highwater marks and culvert geometry are presented. These methods are derived from investigations of culvert flow as reported in the literature and on extensive laboratory studies of culvert flow. For convenience in computation, culvert...
