Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Storm Rainfall of Eastern United States
This report sets forth the results of what is probably the most extended study of storm rainfall that has ever been undertaken.
When an engineering examination Of the Miami Valley was begun, immediately after the subsidence Of the great ?ood of March, 1913, for the purpose of determining the best plan for preventing damage by future ?oods, an investigation of rainfall and runo?' conditions was one of the first lines of attack. Although the 1913 ?ood seems to have been by far the largest that has occurred in this valley since its first occupation by white settlers a little over 100 years ago, it was soon apparent that the records Of daily discharge Of the Miami River going back only to 1892, and the local rainfall records Of somewhat longer duration, afforded but a poor basis for the determination of the most probable size, frequency, and distribution Of future ?oods.
