“…Peak-flow magnitudes and frequencies for 197 gaging stations on streams that have drainage areas less than or equal to 1,000 mi 2 and with periods of unregulated systematic record of at least 10 years were calculated using Bulletin 17B procedures and are listed in table 6 in the Supplemental Information section at the end of this report. The peak-flow magnitudes and frequencies presented in table 6 are identical to those presented in Burr and Korkow (1996) except for the following: (1) Gaging station 06402000, Fall River at Hot Springs, SD, had part of its systematic record influenced by regulation. For this study, the earlier, unregulated part of the systematic record for that station was used, whereas Burr and Korkow (1996) reported peakflow magnitudes and frequencies for the later, regulated part of the systematic record.…”

A generalized skew coefficient analysis was completed for South Dakota to test the validity of using the generalized skew coefficient map in Bulletin 17B of the 1982 United States Water Resources Council, "Guidelines for Determining Flood Flow Frequency." Results of the analysis indicate that the Bulletin 17B generalized skew coefficient map generally provides adequate generalized skew coefficients for estimating peakflow magnitudes and frequencies for South Dakota gaging stations. Peak-flow records through 1994 for 197 continuous-and partial-record streamflow-gaging stations that had 10 or more years of unregulated systematic record were used in a generalized leastsquares regression analysis that relates peak flows for selected recurrence intervals to selected basin characteristics. Peak-flow equations were developed for recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 years for seven hydrologic subregions in South Dakota. The peak-flow equations are applicable to natural-flow streams that have drainage areas less than or equal to 1,000 square miles. The standard error of estimate for the seven hydrologic subregions ranges from 22 to 110 percent for the 100-year peak-flow equations. Weighted peak flows for various frequencies based on gaging-station data and the regional regression equations are provided for each gaging station. Examples are given for (1) determining peak-flow magnitudes and frequencies for ungaged sites on ungaged streams; (2) determining weighted peak-flow magnitudes and frequencies for gaging stations; and (3) using the drainage-area ratio method for determining peakflow magnitudes and frequencies for ungaged sites near a gaging station on the same stream and ungaged sites between two gaging stations on the same stream. Previous Studies McCabe and Crosby (1959) used all data available through 1955 and completed a study of the magnitude and frequency of peak flows in North Dakota and South Dakota. Patterson (1966) used data through 1961 and Patterson and Gamble (1968) used data R Bois

“…The answer is yes. The 1972 flood on Rapid Creek has an estimated recurrence interval of 500 years (Burr and Korkow, 1996), which means that a flood of this magnitude will occur an average of once every 500 years. Every year there is a 0.2-percent chance (1 in 500) of experiencing a similar flood.…”

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) may be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) as follows:°C =(°F-32)/1.8 Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) or North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27). Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum of NGVD 29 unless otherwise specified. Water year (WY) is the 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, and is designated by the calendar year in which it ends. Thus, the water year ending September 30, 2006, is called the "2006" water year. Under the downstream order system for streamflow-gaging stations, station numbers increase in the downstream direction.
