<br />The residuals of the regression were checked for bias in size of flood, <br /> <br /> <br />drainage area, gage datum, and mean basin elevation, and no apparent bias <br /> <br /> <br />was indicated. The regression equations were compared with other <br /> <br /> <br />regression equations for eastern Colorado (McCain and Jarrett, 1976; <br /> <br /> <br />Livingston 1981). The regression equations (eq. 3-7) indicated lower flood <br />discharges than the regression equations for the Colorado plains for <br />equivalent recurrence intervals on similarly sized basins, as would be <br /> <br /> <br />expected. The regression equations can be used in the South Platte River <br /> <br /> <br />basin (excluding upstream from the South Platte River at South Platte <br /> <br /> <br />because of the topographic induced rain shadow effects) for sites where <br /> <br /> <br />elevations are between 5,000 to 8,000 feet (1,524 to 2,438 meters) and for <br /> <br /> <br />sites where the drainage area below 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) ranges from 2 <br /> <br /> <br />to 250 square miles (5 to 650 square kilometers). <br /> <br />1t'f' <br /> <br />
