Abstract: Claims frequency against design professionals continues to increase, and many design firms are foregoing insurance coverage due to the expense. Efforts at tort reform have been sporadic, and some proposals have been attacked ...

Abstract: A common problem in engineering hydrology is estimating the attenuation effects of storage reservoirs on peak inflow rates. While this may always be accomplished by a detailed hydrologic or hydraulic routing of the inflow ...

Abstract: An application of run theory to annual streamflow sequences in Idaho permits the assignment of return periods to historical drought events, based on the statistical characteristics of the streamflow record. For 63 stations ...

Abstract: Annual streamflow records for 124 stream gages in and near Idaho are examined to determine four annual flow statistics: the mean; the standard deviation; the skew coefficient; and first‐order serial correlation coefficient. ...

Abstract: An approach to establishing priorities for future flood control planning has been developed and applied to hydrologic subbasins in New Jersey. Data on historical flood losses, flood potential, and current and prior flood ...
