Revised Peak Flow Statistics and Regional Regression Equations for Idaho

This project will provide more accurate, updated information to the Idaho Transportation Department, Federal and other state agencies, regional and local cooperators on peak flow frequency in Idaho rivers. This information is needed for designing infrastructure, determining flood elevations and flood zones, and managing aquatic habitat in Idaho. The research will provide updated peak flow frequency statistics, regional regression equations, and develop web-based tools required for infrastructure and design. The outcome will be a published Scientific Investigation Report.
