Exceedance probability-depth relationships of floods for Maryland streams west of Chesapeake Bay
William J. Herb
1978, Open-File Report 78-171
A procedure is outlined for estimating the depths of floods of specified exceedance probabilities for Maryland streams west of the Chesapeake Bay. Data required for use of the estimating procedure are the stream's location in one of three flood-depth regions and the drainage area. Regression equations developed for depth estimation...
