Flood and Erosion Control Problems and their Solution
The flood and erosion control problems treated in this paper occur in highly developed areas where there is a relatively low seasonal run-off; these areas, however, are subject to brief, although violent, torrential storms, that result in floods of exceptionally high intensity. When fires denude the sparse vegetation from steep mountain slopes the flood intensities increase and added debris hazards occur, due to erosion.
Basic precipitation and run-off records are given in this paper, as are engineering methods of constructing hydrographs of expected floods, and the regulation needed for control. Similarly, measurements of erosion quantities are presented with suggested solutions of control and a method of a voiding unnecessary capital expenditures in advance of requirements. The incidental conservation of flood waters for domestic use and for irrigation is discussed.
