Probable Maximum Precipitation for the Upper Deerfield River Drainage Massachusetts/Vermont

摘要

The Hydrometeorological Branch has prepared an independent estimate of probable maximum precipitation (PMP) for the Upper Deerfield River drainage in response to a request by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Hydrologic and Geotechnical Engineering staff. Estimates are given for durations from 1 to 48 hr for basins above Sherman Dam, above Harriman Dam, above Somerset Dam, and between Sherman and Harriman Dams. This report describes the approach used to develop the PMP estimates from the results of applying Hydrometeorological Report (HMR) No. 52 to generalized PMP estimates of HMR No. 51 for the drainage.
