The <br />Intermediate Regional Flood is one of a magnitude for which there <br />is a 1 percent probability that it will be equalled or exceeded <br />each year. The Standard Project Flood is one of a magoi tude that <br />would result from the most severe combination of meteorological <br />conditions considered reasonably characteristic of the geographic <br />area in which the Cache la Poudre River lies, excluding extremely <br />rare combinations of such conditions. It represents a flood whose <br />occurrence in the near future is not probable but possible. <br /> <br />Peak discharges of the Intermediate Regional Flood and the <br />Standard Project Flood from Fort Collins to the mouth of the Cache <br />La Poudre River are summarized in table 3. <br /> <br />12 <br />
