National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
AHPS provide forecasts of river levels and river flow volumes from an hour to a season for areas large and small, including river forecast information such as:
o How high the river will rise;
o When the river will reach its peak;
o Where property will be flooded;
o How long flooding will continue;...Read more

Published:
March 17, 2016National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
The National Hydrologic Assessment is a report issued each spring by the NWS that provides an outlook on U.S. Spring flood potential, river ice jam flood potential, and water supply. Analysis of flood risk integrates late summer and fall precipitation, frost depth, soil saturation levels, stream...Read more

United StatesA Derived Flood Frequency Distribution Based on the Density Function of Rainfall Excess
Published:
July 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development
The geomorphoclimatic theory is used, along with the joint probability density function of storm duration and storm intensity and the representation of the infiltration process, to derive the flood frequency distribution for a given catchment. The infiltration process is represented by two...Read more

Published:
July 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development
Methodologies relating river response to basin geomorphology are useful in the estimation of hydrologic behavior in regions with sparse or no data. This study describes research of potential value in traditional hydraulic routing applications. In it the infiltration losses along the streams of a...Read more
