Banner) is of little value since the method of analysis and storm frequency used are out of date, although the Banner report does contain a number of photographs and a list of structures found on Spring Creek that could be useful. The Black and Veatch study was completed using the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year and 50-year storm events and is probably of little use, although in this report, the idea of using irrigation canals to import flood water into Spring Creek from the north was introduced. The study done by land and Water Consultants was primarily concerned with the proposed design of the Moore Park detention basin #3 and contains a number of hydrographs routing flood waters through it. This is the first of the studies on Spring Creek that incorporates the 100-year storm event. Analysis of the watershed above the proposed dam is included, along with a table of basin characteristics and a summary of. inflow hydrographs with and without imported flood water. The Interim Flood Hydrology Report by Resource Consultants of 1977 contains 100-year hydrographs for the basin below Moore Park detention facility, with and without importation. This study and the previous one by land and Water Consultants complement each other and form a complete picture of 100-year flood hydrology. Revisions to the interim report published in 1979 alter the quantities of imported floodwaters downward and make the hydrographs found in the original 1977 report obsolete. The Feasibility Studies for Diversion of Storm Water Runoff through Irrigation Canals from Mulberry Street to Spring Creek" completed in 1979 contain flow rates expected to enter Spring Creek from outside the basin. This report outlines proposed improvements to irrigation canals that fix the expected contribution to Spring Creek and will need to be included in our analysis.
