Estimation of Flood-Frequency Discharges for Rural, Unregulated Streams in West Virginia

Abstract: Multiply By To obtain Length inch (in.) 2.54 centimeter (cm) foot (ft) 0.3048 meter (m) mile (mi) 1.609 kilometer (km) Area square mile (mi 2) 2.590 square kilometer (km 2) Flow rate cubic foot per second (ft 3 /s) 0.02832 cubic meter per second (m 3 /s) cubic foot per second per square mile [(ft 3 /s)/mi 2 ] 0.01093 cubic meter per second per square kilometer [(m 3 /s)/km 2 ] Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).

“…In January 1996 about 2 in. of rain fell on a (Wiley and Atkins, 2010). Typically, flooding in West Virginia can occur rapidly as a result of steep gradients and narrow channel valleys, often resulting in significant soil erosion and property damage ( fig.…”

“…Landcover across the state has succeeded towards forested conditions and between 1907 to 2002, forest cover increased from 9.1 million acres (61%) to 12.1 million acres (79%) of forests (Leonard andLaw 2012, Smith et al 2002). West Virginia is comprised of steep topography due to the bisecting mountain ranges and three physiographic provinces which include the Appalachian Plateaus, Valley and Ridge, and the Blue Ridge (Fenneman 1938, Wiley 2012, Wiley and Atkins 2010, Wiley et al 2000. Due to the highly variable climatic patterns and influences of topographic lifting of storms, the state can be separated into two or more climatic divisions (Leonard andLaw 2012, Wiley 2012).…”

“…Mean annual air temperature for West Virginia is 12°C, but steep mountainous topography creates considerable climate variability (Leonard andLaw 2012, Wiley 2012). State-wide precipitation and temperature are susceptible to wide spatial variability due to the climatic divide, complex topography, physiographic regions, and seasonally shifting storm tracks (Carr 1990, Fenneman 1938, Leonard and Law 2012, Wiley 2012, Wiley and Atkins 2010, Wiley et al 2000. The highest and lowest elevations are located in the eastern panhandle with Spruce Knob at 1,482 meters above mean sea level (AMSL) and Harpers Ferry at 73 meters AMSL.…”
