Levee Design Profiles for the Williamson, West Virginia, Flood Protection Project

摘要

This report describes a hydraulic study of the Tug Fork River, West Virginia, from the Kermit gage to the town of Williamson. Williamson is the site of a major flood protection project and is to be protected to the Standard Project Flood (SPF). The objectives of the study were to aid in updating and recalibrating the original HEC-2 model of the US Army Engineer District, Huntington, identify and incorporate into the model important hydraulic parameters, develop a procedure for extrapolation of the stage-discharge rating curve to the SPF discharge at Williamson, and determine the SPF water-surface profile under project conditions.
