2. The guidelines are intended for use by engineers and hydrologists with proper <br />training and experience in watershed hydrology and the modeling of the <br />rainfall-runoff processes in digital models such as HEC-1. <br />3. The guidelines are recommended practices that will yield reasonable results for <br />many watersheds in Colorado. However, they cannot address the nuances of <br />every application in watershed type and/or hydrologic condition. These <br />guidelines can be used in the absence of more appropriate site-specific data. <br />These recommendations and guidelines should be modified, adjusted or replaced <br />by more appropriate technology when that technological procedure can be <br />demonstrated and justified as superior to the guidelines. In the absence of <br />clearly superior data, procedures and/or information, these guidelines should be <br />used for evaluating hydrologic adequacy of dams in Colorado. <br />4. It is imperative that the watershed and its characteristics that influence and <br />dictate hydrologic basin response be adequately investigated for the purpose of <br />dam design and dam safety studies. <br />19 Ma xh 2007 4 <br />
