      <abstract>Hydrology data include spatial datasets and data tables necessary for documenting the hydrologic procedures for estimating flood discharges for a Flood Insurance Study, which includes the hydrologic data expected by FEMA for new riverine studies.(Source: Fema Guidelines and Specs, DCS Technical Reference (November 2014))</abstract>
      <purpose>The objective of this hydrology data submission is to archive the hydrologic data for a study in a database such that it can be revised and used with minimum effort in future Flood Insurance Studies or map revisions.</purpose>

    <logic>Proven hydrologic methods and/or FEMA approved models are used to compute flows at different locations and for different recurrence intervals(e.g.1-percent-annual-chance(100-year)event, the 10-percent-annual-chance(10-year),2-percent-annual-chance(50-year), and 0.2-percent-annual-chance(500-year) event).Computed flows are compared with historic data and flows established in previous hydrologic investigations to ensure reasonableness.Flows at the confluences are checked for the possibility of coincident peaks.Flows exiting the system and regulated by dams are carefully analyzed.At a given location flows for longer recurrence intervals are larger.</logic>
     <complete>Flows are computed at different locations of the study area.The method(s) and/or model(s) are described in the FIS report.Assumptions and special considerations are also clearly stated in the report.Flows previously determined in other studies or hydrologic investigations are used for comparison.Computed flows are compared with historic flooding data. Submittal of hydrologic data in accordance with guidelines and specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, DCS Technical Reference (November 2014): Data Capture Standards ensures completeness of the Hydrology Study submittal.</complete>
