Development of a Flood-Warning System and Flood-Inundation Mapping in Licking County, Ohio, Executive Summary Report.

摘要

The objectives of this study were to: (1) enhance the ability of National Weather Service (NWS) to develop flood forecasts by re-installing a discontinued stream gage, upgrading a lake-level gage, and installing three new stream gages, (2) develop steady state hydraulic models to produce a library of maps of flood-inundation areas for a range of stages along selected reach of the Licking River, South Fork Licking River, North Fork Licking River, and Raccoon Creek, (3) develop a preliminary unsteady-flow hydraulic model for the South Fork Licking River in the Buckeye Lake region that will be given to the NWS for inclusion in their flood-forecasting system, and (4) publish a USGS Scientific Investigations Report detailing the methods used and results.
