Methods for estimating monthly streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites in western Montana
Charles Parrett, Kenn D. Cartier
1989, Open-File Report 89-40
Three methods were developed for estimating monthly streamflow characteristics for western Montana. The first method, based on multiple-regression equations, relates monthly streamflow characteristics to various basin and climatic variables. Standard errors range from 43 to 107%. The equations are generally not applicable to streams that receive or lose water as...
Estimating flood hydrographs for Arkansas streams
B.L. Neely Jr.
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4109
Flood hydrographs are needed for the design of many highway drainage structures and embankments and flood water storage structures. A dimensionless hydrograph is presented for Arkansas streams having drainage areas < 600 sq mi.
