Rainfall Inputs for Simulation of Design Floods in Kansas
The report presents a procedure for determining appropriate rainfall and soil-moisture inputs for simulation of floods on Kansas streams. The study that led to the recommended procedure has three major parts. Part 1 is an analysis of a set of detailed rainfall and streamflow data for twelve small watersheds in Kansas. Part 2 is a statistical analysis of key characteristics of storms that produce heavy rainfalls of various durations in Kansas. Part 3 is a test of various design-storm models, in which flood estimates obtained from single-event simulation using design storms were compared with flood estimates derived from continuous simulation. Chapter 6 examines KDOT's rainfall data needs and recommends ways to meet these needs. Chapter 7 summarizes the findings and recommendations.
