Georgia Flood-Frequency Information

The USGS Georgia District flood-frequency information Web site presents and illustrates methods of estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods having recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 years for rural Georgia streams. Data are based on flood-frequency analyses of annual peak-discharge data at streamflow monitoring sites through September 1990. This Web site includes: regional relations for estimating the magnitude and frequency of flood discharges on rural, ungaged, non-regulated streams method for estimating flood-frequency data at gaged and ungaged sites on rural streams flood-frequency data on mainstem streams with drainage basins located in more than one region Information and data on this Web site come from Stamey, T.C., and Hess, G.W., 1993, Techniques for Estimating Magnitude and Frequency of Floods in Rural Basins of Georgia, USGS Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4016, 75 p.
