Abstract
Some of the problems involved in the operation of a large flood-control and water-supply project are reported in this paper. The writers demonstrate how effectively the Tygart Dam can perform the functions for which it was planned. For example, the effect of the reservoir in reducing flood crests at downstream points is demonstrated. The accuracy of these estimates is dependent on the method of flood routing and the thoroughness with which it is consummated. The elements involved in routing these floods are described only briefly because a complex problem of this type would require a separate paper for complete presentation.
