<br />For this analysis, it is assumed that the storm conditions are similar <br /> <br />to that of 1965, and that the meteorological conditions exist to center the <br /> <br />storm over the foothills of the Front Range, immediately west of Denver. <br /> <br />The storm is large enough to cover the entire city of Denver, so that <br /> <br />between 6" to 10" of rain occurs in a period of 3 to 6 hours over most of <br /> <br />the metro area. Under such conditions, each locality and suburb of Denver <br /> <br />would experience at least a storm of 11100 year" recurrence interval, and <br /> <br />all streams would be heavily impacted. Figure 7 shows tributarites in the <br /> <br />Denver metro area likely to be affected by a large scale storm. <br /> <br />(See also <br /> <br />Map, at Figure 8). In general terms, all of the Denver metro area would <br /> <br />be impacted by overflow from these tributaries. <br /> <br />-19- <br />
