Study Limits <br />The area to be studied includes the East and West Douglas Wash <br />watersheds, which are in the Moulton Valley of Unincorporated <br />Clifton. The study limit for the East drainage begins near the <br />southeast corner of Section 35, TIN, RIE, to near its confluence <br />with the Colorado River, and the West drainage's study limit <br />starts from the top of SE ~ of Section 35, TIN, RIE, to the center <br />of SE ~ of NE ~ of Section 13, TIS, R2E. These include the <br />following reaches: <br /> <br /> R~ach r~ngth <br />East Douglas Wash <br />Main Channel 3.1l Miles <br />North Branch 0.66 Miles <br />West Douglas Wash <br />Main Channel 2.04 Miles <br />Reach 1 East 0.02 Miles <br />Reach 1 West 0.30 Miles <br />Total Reach Length 6.l3 Miles <br /> <br />An index map showing the location of flood plain mapping is <br />included as figure 2. The flood plain maps themselves are shown <br />as sheets 1 through 23 following the index map. <br /> <br />RELATED FLOOD STUDIES <br /> <br />No detailed flood studies have been made previously for this study <br />location. <br /> <br />FLOOD HISTORY <br /> <br />Storms which produce flooding along the northern part of East and <br />West Douglas Washes occur from April through October. These storms <br />are often characterized by high rainfall intensities of short <br />duration, producing high peak flows and moderate volume of water. <br />Frequently, the thunderstorms are severe and occur over limited <br />areas. <br /> <br />Historical documentation of flood damage is meager. This is <br />probably due to the small size of the streams and lack of extensive <br />urbanization. Major flood damages in the watershed are to roads, <br />agricultural lands, and residential homes. Duration of flooding is <br />brief because of the small size of drainage area. In general, peak <br />flows last from one to three hours during a flooding period from <br />six to twenty-four hours. <br /> <br />5 <br />
