Figure ~~8. Graph showing return intervals for 3 time periods based on partial-duration
series for all floods greater than 28 mJ Is. Lines were based on a log Pearson type III
distribution. The magnitude of floods with return intervals less than 3 yrs is lower for the
period following the completion of Taylor Draw Dam than the :2 decades precedin-g the dam.
while the magnitude of the 5 - 10 yr floods has increased.
