<br />continuing effort to develop a coherent set of procedures for accurately <br /> <br />defining flood potentials. Much additional study is required before the two <br /> <br />goals of accuracy and consistency will be fully attained. All who are <br /> <br />interested in improving peak flood-flow frequency determinations are encouraged <br /> <br />to submit comments, criticism and proposals to the Water Resources Council for <br /> <br />consideration by its Hydrology Committee. <br /> <br />Federal agencies are requested to use these guidelines in all planning <br /> <br />activities involving water and related land resources. State, local, and <br /> <br />private organizations are encouraged to use these guidelines also to assure <br /> <br />more uniformity, compatibility, and comparability in the frequency values that <br /> <br />all concerned agencies and citizens must use for many vital decisions. <br /> <br />This present revision is adopted with the knowledge and understanding <br /> <br />that continuing efforts are underway to further improve the procedures <br /> <br />described. When warranted by experience and by examination and testing of <br /> <br />new techniques, other revisions will be pu <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />Chairman <br />Water Resources Council <br /> <br />ii <br />
