Abstract: A data base of urban flood-frequency information on 269 gaged basins in 31 states and 56 cities in the United States has been compiled. Regression equations were developed to estimate flood discharges at ungaged sites using topographic and climatic parameters for flood recurrence intervals of 2,5, 10,25,50,100, and 500 years.
