CSU and USFS Flood Potential Portal

<p><b>Open the Data Resource:</b> <a href='https://floodpotential.erams.com/' rel='nofollow ugc'>https://floodpotential.erams.com/</a></p> <p>The Flood Potential Portal is a map-based decision support system for enhancing the understanding and quantification of riverine flood hazards in the United States through use of the observational (streamgage) record. The Mapping and Cross-Section Analysis modules are provided for exploring a variety of characteristics, for professionals to strengthen their understanding of flood variability in space and time. The Watershed Analysis module provides for the prediction of expected large flood magnitudes and flood frequency relationships at ungaged locations, including adjustments for such non-stationarity mechanisms as climate change. The Streamgage Analysis module performs standard logPearson flood-frequency analysis of streamgage data. Large floods are the focus of the Flood Potential Portal, for infrastructure design and floodplain management.</p>
