Bias in Peak Flood Discharges: Are Our Bridges and Culverts Undersized?

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable methods for peak discharge predictions at ungaged locations are required for infrastructure design and floodplain management. For decades, a standard practice in the United States has been to utilize US Geological Survey regional regression equations (StreamStats) as a singular method. However, implementation of multiple methods, such
