Flood-Frequency Relationships in the Pacific Northwest
This paper describes, in general terms, a method of determining the magnitude and frequency of expected floods that is applicable to any area in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The development of a composite frequency curve applicable to any site in a large homogeneous region is examined, and the effect of mean elevation and size of drainage area on the shape of the frequency curves in designated parts of the Pacific Northwest is demonstrated. A formula for determining the mean annual flood for any site on the west side of the Cascade Range in Washington is shown, and the drainage-basin characteristics used in its derivation are listed. A floodfrequency curve can be drawn for any given site in the Pacific Northwest by combining the results obtained from the mean annual flood formula and the composite frequency curve that are both applicable to that site. Comments about limitations on the use of results obtained by this method are included.
