Abstract
The determination of the magnitude and frequency of expected floods has been the subject of constant study by the engineering profession. The systematic collection of stream-flow records in every section of the United States has contributed immeasurably to a knowledge of the subject. The long-time records of precipitation assist in extending the frequency studies beyond the range of stream-flow records. Contributing to this knowledge also have been the disastrous floods since 1927, which in many instances exceeded the maximum expected, based on previous records.
