Hydrology of floods in Canada — a guide to planning and design

Abstract

The consolidation of technical information relating to the analysis of floods in Canada and the determination of 'design floods' for projects and studies in public works, water resources, and land development together comprise the focus of these pages, written for a general audience of civil engineers, hydrologists, and planners in public service and private practice. It is hoped that this guide will serve to facilitate the transfer of information and techniques across regional boundaries and to identify research needs.
