Floods from small drainage basins in Alaska

Flood peak-stage and associated discharge data collected since 1963 in small (generally less than 100 square miles) drainage areas in Alaska are presented in tabular and graphical form. The report also contains table of computed magnitudes of floods at selected recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 years) for sites having 10 or more years of record. Data have been collected at approximately 125 sites since the ' small-streams program ' began in 1963; 64 crest-stage gages and 3 continuous recording gages are being operated in 1983. (USGS)
