Evaluation of Peak Prediction Practices in Relation to Floods, Flash Floods, and Dam Safety Act
The primary goal was to evaluate the applicability of a variety of basic and practical methods for prediction and synthesis of flood peaks within the hydrologic regions of the State of Texas. Historic peak flood data for streams of 26 drainage basins, of Texas were obtained from reports and computer 'printouts'. The primary river basins of the streams were the Colorado and Brazos rivers. Historic flood peak data for all the drainage basins were analyzed in the stochastic methods unit of this study. With the aid of statistical tests, the 'best-fitting' frequency distribution was identified and peak flow estimates associated with recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years were made for all drainage basins. In order to evaluate the deterministic methods, a correlation, regression analysis of these methods to the results of stochastic analysis (observed data) was made for each drainage basin.
