Abstract:

This data publication contains a vector digital file of modeled 100-year flood zones for Front Range National Forests in Colorado and a tabular digital file containing flows rates (cubic feet per second) for different return intervals. Flow rates are based on 1994-2018 stream flows, but flows are not stationary and will change with changing precipitation patterns. This one method may not identify 100-year floodplains and discharge rates correctly and is best applied in conjunction with other lines of evidence. Additionally, models will improve with time.
