<br />FOREWORD <br /> <br />This volume is part of the l2-volume report entitled "Hydrologic <br />Engineering Methods for Water Resources Development", prepared by the <br />Hydrologic Engineering Center as part of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' <br />participation in the International Hydrological Decade. Volume 5 describes <br />methods and procedures for computing hypothetical floods from rainfall <br />and snowmelt for various purposes in flood control studies. Although <br />many of the methods and procedures described herein have been used <br />successfully in Corps of Engineers studies. the volume should not be <br />construed to represent official policy or criteria of the Corps. <br />This volume was written by Leo R. Beard, Technical Director, Center <br />for Research and Water Resources, University of Texas. Mr. Beard was <br />formerly the director of the Hydrologic Engineering Center. Much of the <br />material contained in t~is volume has been extracted from Corps manuals <br />and other publications. Review and ammendments have been made by various <br />members of the HEC staff, with final editing assigned to Dale R. Burnett. <br /> <br />4 <br />
