Development of Flood Insurance Maps in New England
FEMA has requested USGS expertise in hydraulics, hydrology, and mapping to generate flood insurance maps for New England.
Development of Streamflow Record Extension Equations in New Hampshire
Currently, there are 16 designated rivers in New Hampshire in need of daily mean streamflow estimates for managing instream flows. Many of New Hampshire’s Designated Rivers have current and/or historical streamflow data that may be used to extend an existing streamgages streamflow record in time through record extension techniques. Evaluating the feasibility of record extension techniques to...
Flow Modeling at Dam Removal Sites Associated with Hurricane Sandy Resiliency Efforts
The purpose of this work is to better understand the effects of dam removal on local hydraulics, fish passage, and flooding. This study is part of a larger effort to monitor ecological resilience changes at nine Hurricane Sandy coastal resiliency aquatic connectivity restoration projects. It will contribute crucial knowledge that will be used to improve aquatic connectivity system cost...
The Influence of Climatic changes on Extreme Streamflows in the United States
Hydrologic droughts and floods can have severe impacts on river infrastructure, water supply, and ecosystem functioning.
Development of Regional Regression Equations to Estimate the Magnitude of Peak Flows for Selected Annual-Exceedance Probabilities in Maine
The flood-frequency characteristics for streamgages and regression equations for estimating flood magnitudes have been published.
Trend Reproduction
As part of the National Water Budget Project, our objective is to quantify how well observed trends are simulated.
