Abstract
Flood-frequency curves derived from simulated flood series are compared to those obtained from regional regression equations. The flood series are extracted from 49 years of continuous simulation from a HSPF model calibrated for the Blackberry Creek watershed in Kane County, Illinois. The slopes of the simulated flood-frequency curves are steeper than curves from regional equations. On average, the simulated Q2 is about 6 to 8 percent lower and the simulated Q100 is about 16 to 23 percent higher than those estimated by the regional equations.
