<br />
<br />Chaeter 2 - Hvdroloaic Studv Uses. This chapter describes the potential uses of flood
<br />hydrology studies. Hydrologic study uses include: flood plain delineations, flood control
<br />projects, reservoir and spillway design, local crtteria manuals, and flood warning systems,
<br />
<br />Chaeter 3 - Colorado Flood Characteristics, This chapter addresses the geographical
<br />regions wtthin Colorado and describes the crtteria in defining the regions, Definitions of
<br />Climatic and Hydrologic regions wtthin Colorado including types of flood producing events
<br />are presented, Colorado storm characteristics and types of flood producing events
<br />including general rainfall, intense thunderstorms, snowmen, rainfall on snowmen, and ice
<br />affected flood events within the state are discussed,
<br />
<br />9haeter 4 . Colorado Flood Historv, This chapter summarizes historical flood events,
<br />including the sources of data and procedures for determining the magnitude of
<br />documented floods,
<br />
<br />Chaeter 5 - Hvdroloaic Policv and Decision Elements, This chapter addresses statewide
<br />policy on certain study assumptions and design parameters, Hydrologic policy and
<br />decision elements for flood hydrology include: detention effects of non-flood control
<br />reservoirs and roadway embankments, effects of irrigation dttches, storm patterns and
<br />distribution, skew coefficients, expected probabiltty, and urbanization,
<br />
<br />Chaeter 6 - General Aeeroaches to Flood Hvdroloav, This chapter summarizes various
<br />approaches to flood hydrology, The standard approaches for determining flood hydrology
<br />include: flood flow frequency analysis, regional regression equations, and rainfall/runoff
<br />analysis, Non-standard approache~ to flood hydrology include: envelope curves, pale-flood
<br />hydrology, transfer methods, and interpretation of historic flood events,
<br />
<br />Chaeter 7 - Methods of Flood Hvdrology,. This chapter details the hydrologic methods
<br />summarized in Chapter 6. Descriptions of the background theory, applications, and
<br />Iimttations of various elements of flood hydrology are presented, Elements of flood
<br />hydrology discussed include: precipttation, infiltration, rational formula, untt hydrographs,
<br />kinematic wave routing, channel routing techniques, and discharge frequency analysis,
<br />

<br />terms,
<br />
<br />Chaeter 10- References, This Chapter lists references sources of information lIsed in the
<br />preparation of this manual and sources of information that have more detailed descriptions
<br />of methods described in the manual.
