Paleoflood Investigations to Improve Flood-Frequency Estimates for Eastern Colorado Completed
By Colorado Water Science Center
August 30, 2018
The peak-streamflow regional-regression equations (PSRREs) in the Plains hydrologic region in eastern Colorado have the largest uncertainty of any hydrologic region in Colorado. Reliable peak-streamflow information is critical for the proper design of stream-related infrastructure, such as bridges and dams, and flood-plain inundation maps. In an effort to provide more reliable peak-streamflow information in the Plains region, the USGS, in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Transportation, developed PSRREs for estimating the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, 0.2-percent annual exceedance-probability discharge for natural streamflow in eastern Colorado.
BACKGROUND:
Reliable peak-streamflow information is critical for the proper design of stream-related infrastructure, such as bridges and dams, and floodplain inundation maps. At gaged sites, where sufficient long-term streamflow data have been collected, statistics can be obtained from available publications, by an analysis of available data in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System, or other sources of flood information. Estimates also are needed at ungaged sites, however, where no site-specific streamflow data are available. Large areas with few streamflow gages having short periods of record have caused large uncertainties in the regional-regression equations used to estimate peak streamflow. Additional flood information may improve the reliability of the regional-regression equations in the Plains hydrologic region of eastern Colorado. A total of 188 streamgages, with a combined total of 6,536 years of record and an average of approximately 35 years of record per streamgage, was used to develop the peak-streamflow equations. In addition, paleoflood data was documented at 41 streamgages and 3 streamgages had previously collected paleoflood data for a total of 44 streamgages with paleoflood or non-exceedance bound data.
OBJECTIVES:
- Compile systematic flood data available at USGS, Colorado Division of Water Resources, and Nebraska Department of Natural Resources streamgages through water year 2013 (October 1, 2012 through September 31, 2013) in eastern Colorado and adjacent States.
- Collect paleoflood data at streamgages to supplement the systematic flood data.
- Perform flood-frequency analysis at each streamgage following guidelines outlined in Advisory Committee on Water Data, Bulletin 17C, (England, 2015)
- Provide updated regional peak-streamflow equations for eastern Colorado and update USGS StreamStats program with new equations.

The U.S. Geological Survey StreamStats program can be used to estimate the magnitude of various annual exceedance probability floods such as the 50-year or 100-year floods at locations where no streamgage data are available.

Reliable peak-streamflow information is critical for the proper design of stream-related infrastructure, such as bridges and dams, and flood-plain inundation maps. In an effort to provide more reliable peak-streamflow information in the Plains region, the USGS, in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Transportation, developed PSRREs for estimating the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, 0.2-percent annual exceedance-probability discharge for natural streamflow in eastern Colorado.
