Floods of the so-called “cloudburst” type yield momentary runoff peaks entirely out of proportion to the rate of rainfall. They are caused by an abrupt increase in rainfall and runoff. Their magnitude is controlled by many factors, of which probably the most important are the rate of increase and the intensity of the rainfall. One of the most noteworthy examples of this type of flood was the flood near Los Angeles, Calif., on the morning of January 1, 1934. The more detailed study from which this paper was prepared has been placed on file for reference at Engineering Societies Library.2
