Floods on Small Streams Caused by Rainfall of the Cloudburst Type
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 85, Issue 1
Abstract
The object of this paper is to focus attention on the subject of floods caused by localized rains of great intensity, often styled cloudbursts, which affect principally the smaller streams. As far as the speaker is aware, no comprehensive study of such floods has appeared in print. The difficulties in the way of collecting reliable data on this subject are too well known to require special emphasis. These difficulties rather than the infrequency of cloudburst floods account for the paucity of available data and the incomplete state of knowledge concerning this not only common but most destructive type of run-off.
