<br />- SECTION 4 - HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
<br />4.1 Hydrologic Analysis
<br />The hydrologic analysis for this study of the Roaring Fork drainage basin was completed by the U.S.
<br />Army Corps of Engineers. A regional analysis of stream data taken at gages in the Roaring Fork Basin
<br />was performed and natural flow frequency curves were developed. The peak flows determined for the 10,
<br />50, 100 and 500-year floods were used to determine the flood profiles and the 100-year floodplain for this
<br />report. Table 2 lists the peak discharges for these floods on the Roaring Fork River.
