Regional Flood Frequency Analysis for the Island of Newfoundland - Main Report

The annual cost of flooding to public property in Newfoundland is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range. Accurate flood flow estimates are needed for the efficient design of instream structures (culverts, bridges, spillways, etc.) and for floodplain management. The locations for which flood flow estimates are required usually do not have streamflow data which could be used to directly estimate the flood flows. This study, like three previous studies (1971, 1984, 1990), derives a set of equations for estimating return period flood flows in ungauged watersheds.
