Techniques for estimating flood-depth frequency relations for streams in West Virginia
J.B. Wiley
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4111
Multiple regression analyses are applied to data from 119 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow stations to develop equations that estimate baseline depth (depth of 50% flow duration) and 100-yr flood depth on unregulated streams in West Virginia. Drainage basin characteristics determined from the 100-yr flood depth analysis were used to develop...
