A Geographic Information System Tool to Solve Regression Equations and Estimate Flow-Frequency Characteristics of Vermont Streams

Abstract

Estimates of the magnitude and frequency of streamflow are needed to safely and economically design bridges, culverts and other structures in or near streams. These estimates also are used for managing floodplains, identifying flood-hazard areas, and establishing flood-insurance rates, but may be required at ungaged sites where no observed flood data are available for streamflow-frequency analysis. This report describes equations for estimating flow-frequency characteristics at ungaged, unregulated streams in Vermont.
