VI. Flood Frequency A. Flood Frequency Analysis

Flood recurrence interval (R.I.)

use Weibull Method - calculates the R.I. by taking the average time between 2 floods of equal or greater magnitude.

RI = (n + 1) / m where n is number of years on record, m is magnitude of given flood

VI. Flood Frequency A. Flood Frequency Analysis

What does this mean???

the curve estimates the magnitude of a flood that can be expected within a specified period of time  The probability that a flow of a given magnitude will occur during any year is P = 1/RI.EX: a 50 year flood has a 1/50th chance, or 2 percent chance

of occurring in any given year .

VI. Flood Frequency B. Flow Duration

Example Problem: Determine the discharge that can be expected80% of the time at the Harrison Gaging Station nearGrottoes, Virginia.

Method:•Access data at www.usgs.gov; select water tab•Select “water watch” under ‘streams, lakes, rivers’ option•Choose the current stream flow map,

your state and the respective station location•Open station page by clicking on the station number•Select “daily data” option, •Then click ‘mean discharge’ option•Choose the earliest date of record through ‘present’•Choose ‘tab separated file’ format, and select ‘go’•Highlight, copy, and paste (special) your data to Excel

for analysis.

Example Problem: Determine the discharge that can be expected80% of the time at the Harrison Gaging Station nearGrottoes, Virginia.

Method (continued):•Clean up data so that only ‘Year’ , ‘Q’, and ‘Gage Ht.’ are present•Sort data based on Q in descending order•Add magnitude (m) ranking (highest = 1)•Add P formula, where P = m/(n+1)•Pick out desired probability value, and record the respective discharge
