For the p~rpose of the spillway design, it is recom- <br />mended that the flood data from this r~port be used. This recommendation is based <br />on the fact that the runoff data was prepared using the most commonly accepted <br />methods and is recognized by all major government bodies, as well as provided <br />readily accessible information on the background and input data. <br />
