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.\r\n 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, Appendix N: Data Capture Standards ensures completeness of the Hydrology Study submittal.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n WEST Consultants, Inc.\r\n 20090224\r\n\t Sumas River Hydrologic Analysis, City of Nooksack, Whatcom County\r\n \r\n \r\n 12000\r\n online\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 20090224\r\n \r\n \r\n publication date\r\n \r\n FLOW-GAGE1\r\n WEST Consultants performed a detailed hydrologic analysis to estimate the 10-, 2-, 1-, and 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood discharges for the Sumas River.
