MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY OF FLOODS IN ARKANSAS 

By Scott A. Hodge and Gary D. Tasker

ABSTRACT

Methods are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges of streams in 

Arkansas. Regression analyses were developed in which a stream's physical and flood characteristics were 

related. Four sets of regional regression equations were derived to predict peak discharges with selected 

recurrence intervals of 2, 5,10,25, 50,100, and 500 years on streams draining less than 7,770 square 

kilometers. The regression analyses indicate that size of drainage area, main channel slope, mean basin 

elevation, and the basin shape factor were the most significant basin characteristics that affect magnitude 

and frequency of floods.

The region of influence method is included in this report. This method is still being improved and is 

to be considered only as a second alternative to the standard method of producing regional regression 

equations. This method estimates unique regression equations for each recurrence interval for each 

ungaged site. The regression analyses indicate that size of drainage area, main channel slope, mean annual 

precipitation, mean basin elevation, and the basin shape factor were the most significant basin and climatic 

characteristics that affect magnitude and frequency of floods for this method. Certain recommendations 

on the use of this method are provided.

A method is described for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges of streams 

for urban areas in Arkansas. The method is from a nationwide U.S. Geological Survey flood frequency 

report which uses urban basin characteristics combined with rural discharges to estimate urban 

discharges.

Annual peak discharges from 204 gaging stations, with drainage areas less than 7,770 square 

kilometers and at least 10 years of unregulated record, were used in the analysis. These data provide the 

basis for this analysis and are published in the Appendix of this report as supplemental data.

Large rivers such as the Red, Arkansas, White, Black, St. Francis, Mississippi, and Ouachita Rivers 

have floodflow characteristics that differ from those of smaller tributary streams and were treated 

individually. Regional regression equations are not applicable to these large rivers. The magnitude and 

frequency of floods along these rivers are based on specific station data. This section is provided in the 

Appendix and has not been updated since the last Arkansas flood frequency report (1987b), but is 

included at the request of the cooperator.

INTRODUCTION

The magnitude and frequency of floods are primary factors in the design of bridges, culverts, streets, 

embankments, dams, levees, and other structures near streams. Information on flood magnitude and 

frequency is used in managing flood plains, planning subdivisions, and establishing flood insurance rates.

The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) is fully aware of the need for 

adequate flood peak data to design better drainage structures in Arkansas. Because of this need, the 

AHTD entered into a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to update previous 

flood-frequency reports (1961,1971,1987b) by using data collected through 1993. This flood-frequency 

report differs from reports by Patterson (1961; 1971) and Neely (1987b) because of additional available 

data, new analysis techniques, and AHTD's need for 500-year flood values to be used in bridge scour 

analysis.

The purpose of this report is to provide a method of estimating the magnitude of floods with 

selected recurrence intervals of 2, 5,10, 25,50,100, and 500 years for streams in Arkansas. Equations for 

streams that have drainage areas less than 7,770 km2 were developed by log-linear multiple-regression 

techniques. Equations for urban areas are from the report by Sauer and others (1983). Flood frequency 

analysis using the region of influence method is included as a second alternative to the standard log-linear 

multiple-regression technique. Analysis was not performed on data for larger streams because of their 

high degree of regulation and necessary information already being available. However, the results from 

the analysis and the supplemental data used by Neely (1987a) pertaining to larger streams have been 

included at the cooperator's request.

The study area is Arkansas. However, data collected outside the State on streams that drain into and 

from Arkansas also are considered. A general location map of the study area is shown in figure 1.

GENERAL SETTING

Arkansas has a diverse topography that contains portions of several physiographic provinces. These 

provinces are the Springfield-Salem Plateaus, Ouachita Mountains, West Gulf Coastal Plain, Boston 

Mountains, Arkansas Valley, and the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (fig. 2) (Fenneman, 1938). The Ozark 

Mountains, found in the Springfield-Salem and Boston Mountains Provinces, along with the Ouachita 

Mountains have elevations as high as 823 m above sea level. Streams in the Ozark Plateaus and the 

southern half of the Ouachita Mountains tend to have sustained flows during dry seasons, whereas 

streams in the Arkansas Valley and the northern half of the Ouachita Mountains generally go dry 

(Hunrichs, 1983). The Mississippi Alluvial Plain and the West Gulf Coastal Plain compose the southeastern 

part of the State; this is primarily an agricultural area and is relatively flat, with elevations that range from 

17 to 152 m above sea level. The higher parts of the State are used mainly for raising cattle and poultry. 

These regions are shown in figure 2.

Climate in Arkansas is mild and moderately humid. Average annual precipitation ranges from 

about 101 to 148 cm. Monthly precipitation exhibits a pronounced seasonal pattern; May usually has the 

most precipitation and January and October the least. Runoff ranges from about 30 to 82 cm per year, 

depending on the precipitation pattern (Freiwald, 1985). Average annual evaporation from shallow lakes 

ranges from about 91 cm in the northeast to about 112 cm in the southwest (Farnsworth and others, 1982).

FLOOD DATA

Peak data for 204 gaging stations that have 10 or more years of unregulated record were used in 

preparing this report. Of these stations, three are in Missouri, three are in Oklahoma, and nine are in 

Louisiana. The remaining 189 stations are in Arkansas (fig. 3).

The flood data used in this report were, for the most part, collected by the U.S. Geological Survey 

and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The flood data have been collected at two types of gaging stations: 

(1) continuous-record stations where records of daily stage are collected and daily discharge are 

computed, and (2) partial-record stations where only the maximum peak stage and discharge for each year 

are determined. Of the 204 gaging stations used, 97 are continuous-record stations and 107 are partialrecord stations. Generally, the continuous-record gaging stations are on large streams and have been 

operated for relatively long periods. Only a small percentage of these continuous-record gaging stations 

have drainage areas that are less than 260 km2. Most of the 107 partial-record gaging stations are creststage gaging stations. The crest-stage-gage program was started in 1960 to fill the need for flood data for 

small drainage basins. The drainage areas of these crest-stage gaging stations range from 0.3 to 130 km2. 

Presently (1995), 65 crest-stage gages are in operation within the State.

Fourteen of the 204 gaging stations are on regulated streams. Data collected prior to regulation at 

these 14 stations were used in the flood-frequency analysis. A summary of the distribution of data and 

average length of record for each station is as follows:

The State was divided into four geographic regions. Analysis of covariance tests, using dummy 

variables (Myers, 1986) to represent subregions, indicated that there were significant differences in the 

regression models for the four subregions. These regions differ from those defined by Patterson (1971) and 

Neely (1987b), in that Patterson and Neely divided Arkansas into only two regions and the four new 

regions are bounded mainly by major river basin divides. The new division is helpful because a drainage 

basin of a smaller stream will not overlap two regions a situation that only exists in the area where the 

Arkansas and White River Basins intersect the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Region A (fig. 3) includes most 

of the Arkansas River Basin. Region B includes most of the Red and Ouachita River Basins. Region C 

includes most of the White River Basin and Crowleys Ridge. Region D includes most of the Mississippi 

Alluvial Plain in Arkansas, with the exception of Crowleys Ridge. The regional regression equations were 

developed separately for Regions A, B, C, and D. These equations are based on observed data from 

stations draining less than 7,770 km2 and with slopes less than 70.3 m/km, and should not be used on 

streams with larger drainage areas and slopes.

MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY OF FLOODS AT GAGING STATIONS

A flood-frequency curve is the relation of flood-peak magnitude to probability of exceedance or 

recurrence interval. Probability of exceedance is the chance of a given flood magnitude being exceeded in 

any given year. A 5-year flood, for example, has the probability of 0.2 (20 percent chance) of being 

exceeded in any given year. Recurrence interval is the reciprocal of exceedance probability and is the 

average number of years between exceedances for a long period of record. A 5-year flood may be expected 

to be exceeded on average once in 5 years or, 20 times in 100 years. This does not mean floods occur at 

uniformly spaced intervals. In fact, a flood of this magnitude can be exceeded more than once in the same 

year, or it can occur in consecutive years.

The flood-frequency relation for a stream where gaging-station data are available can be estimated 

by fitting a theoretical distribution to the random sample of annual peak discharges (largest instantaneous 

discharge for each year). The Hydrology Subcommittee of the Interagency Advisory Committee on Water 

Data (1982) has recommended a uniform technique for determining floodflow frequencies by fitting the 

logarithms of the annual peak discharges to a Pearson Type III distribution and has described these 

calculations in detail. This procedure is accepted by most Federal and State agencies and is referred to as 

the log-Pearson Type III frequency distribution. Annual peak discharges for each gaging station used in 

this study were fitted to the log-Pearson Type III distribution. Peak discharges for recurrence intervals of 2, 

5,10,25,50,100, and 500 years were computed for each station and are listed in tables 1 through 4. For 

stations where regulation began during the data collection period, discharge values are presented for the 

unregulated period.

MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY OF FLOODS AT UNGAGED SITES ON STREAMS DRAINING 

LESS THAN 7,770 SQUARE KILOMETERS

Flood-frequency relations can be estimated for ungaged sites with drainage areas smaller than 7,770 

km2 through the use of the equations presented in this section. The equations were developed by relating 

the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year floods to basin characteristics. Several basin characteristics were 

investigated such as contributing drainage area, main channel slope, main channel length, mean annual 

precipitation, percent forested area, mean basin elevation, and basin shape factor. However, the 

characteristics that were most significant are contributing drainage area, main channel slope, mean basin 

elevation, and basin shape factor. The basin and climatic characteristics and the equation development are 

described in the following paragraphs.

Basin Characteristics

The following are defined for use in this report:

1. Contributing Drainage Area (A). The contributing drainage area of the basin, in square 

kilometers.

2. Main Channel Slope (S). The slope, in meters per kilometer, computed between two points 

along the main channel one point at 10 percent of the channel length, and the other point at 85 

percent of the channel length. Both points are measured from the gaged site (or point of 

intersection when computing discharges for ungaged sites).

3. Mean Basin Elevation (E). The average ground elevation, in meters above sea level, is measured 

from topographic maps by transparent grid sampling method (20 to 80 points sampled in basin).

4. Basin Shape Factor (SH). Computed by dividing the contributing drainage area by the square of 

the main channel length and is dimensionless.

5. Main Channel Length (L). The channel length, in kilometers, between the gaged site and the 

basin divide (used in computation of basin shape factor only).

1 Station presently affected by regulation or diversion. Recurrence interval discharge values computed using data available for period prior to regulation (greater than or equal to 

applicable for use but were used in computation of regional equations. 71 (26) equals 71 total years of peak data with 26 years of preregulation data (used).
Regression Analysis

After the discharge-frequency relations were defined and basin and climatic characteristics 

determined for gaging stations in each of the four regions (fig. 3), the peak discharge for each of seven 

different recurrence intervals (2,5,10, 25, 50,100, and 500 years) was related to the basin and climatic 

characteristics using linear multiple-regression techniques. All 28 regression equations are linear equations 

based on logarithms (base 10) of the basin characteristic data and are of the form:

logQT=bo+b1 logA+b2logS+b3logP+b4logE+b5logSH (1) 

or equivalently,

QT =a(A) b>(S) b*(P) bi(E) b*(SH) b* (2) 

where,

QT is the T-year discharge, 

A, S, P, E, and SH are explanatory variables, 

bo bi,..,b5 are regression parameters, and 

a is a constant equal to 10 °.

Initially, all basin and climatic characteristics were used in each regression. Only stations with 

drainage basins smaller than 7,770 km2 having predominantly natural flow and at least 10 years of record 

were used in the regression analysis. On regulated streams, the data collected prior to regulation were 

used if that period was of sufficient length.

Not all variables were used for the final equations. Variable selection for the final models were made 

by choosing the subset of explanatory variables (A, S, PR, E, and SH) that had the smallest Mallows' G, 

from among all possible subset combinations (Montgomery and Peck, 1982; Myers, 1986). Regression 

coefficients for the final equations were estimated using the estimated generalized-least-squares (EGLS) 

regression techniques described in Tasker and Stedinger (1989). Stedinger and Tasker (1985) show that the 

EGLS regression technique for regional flood frequency regressions is an improvement over ordinary-least 

squares regression because the EGLS technique accounts for differences in sampling errors in the observed 

flow records due to differing record lengths and sample cross correlation of annual peak discharges 

between sites. For the 204 stations in and around Arkansas, record lengths ranged from 11 years to 66 

years. Sample cross-correlation coefficients for annual peaks are a function of distance between sites and 

are approximated by the smoothed curve shown in figure 4.

Accuracy of Estimating Equations

The EGLS technique provides a means of estimating the uncertainty or error in a prediction at an 

ungaged site by partitioning the mean square error into two parts the first part is the model error, and it is 

due to having an imperfect model and the second part is associated with sampling mean square error, 

MSES. The values for the standard error of the model, y, are calculated in log (base 10) units. The standard 

error of the model can be transformed from log units to percent by the formula:

SEmodei(in percent)=100[e{530189^> -I]0'5 (31)

The value for y and SEmocjei for each regional equation are shown in equations 3 to 30. The MSES is the 

mean square error for a site because of estimating the true model parameters from observed flows at 

gaging stations in a region. The value of MSES at a specific site can be estimated as follows: denote the 

column vector of n logarithms of observed peak-discharge characteristics at n sites in a region by Y. For 

example,

37
Y=

50, n.

where, 0594 represents the observed 50-year peak at the z'th gaging station in the region. Further, let X 

represent a (n by p) matrix of p-1 basin characteristics augmented by a column of ones at n gaging stations 

in a region and B represent a column vector of p regression coefficients. For example, in a region in which 

drainage area, A, slope, S, and shape, SH, were significant explanatory variables,

X=

1 log (A!) log^)

1 log(A2) log(S2) log(SH2)

M ) log(SM ) log(SHn )_

andB=

The linear model in equation 1 can be written as 

Y=XB

The MSE9 for an ungaged site with basin characteristics given by the row vector XQ = [1 log(A0) 

log(So) log(SHo)], for example, is calculated as

where A is the (n by n) covariance matrix associated with Y. The diagonal elements of A are model error 

variance, y2, plus the time sampling error for each site i, (i = l,2,3,...n), which is estimated as a function of a 

regional estimate of the standard deviation of annual peaks at site i, the recurrence interval of the 

dependent variable and the number of years of record at site i. The off-diagonal elements of A are the 

sample covariance of the estimated T-year peaks at sites i and j. These off-diagonal elements are estimated 

as a function of a regional estimate of the standard deviation of annual peaks at sites i and j, the recurrence 

interval of the dependent variable and the number of concurrent years of record at sites i and j (Tasker and

Stedinger, 1989). The (p by p) matrix {X^A^X}'1 for each equation (table 9) was calculated using data in 

inch-pound units. Therefore, to calculate MSES one must take the logarithms of A, S, and E in units of 

square miles, feet per mile, and feet, respectively. The mean square error of a prediction, in square log 

(base 10) units, at specific ungaged site can be estimated as

MSEp = Cy2 + MSES) 

The standard error of a prediction, SEprediction, in percent, can be calculated as

(34)

SEprediction= ioo{e- 01 P - 1}- (35)

A single measure of the overall fit of the regression equations is the average SEp^c^. This statistic is 

slightly larger than the SEmodel (see equations 3 to 30 for both statistics for each equation) because the 

SEprediction includes the average MSES term for all the gaging stations in a region.The equivalent years of

38
record listed for equations 3 to 30 are an estimate of the number of years of actual streamflow record 

required at a site to achieve an accuracy equivalent to the standard error of prediction of the regional 

regression equation.

Another measure of uncertainty is the prediction interval of an estimate at an ungaged site. A 100(1- 

ot) prediction interval for the true flow characteristic, @RJ, at an ungaged site can be computed by

<l/V)QRI.<eRI <(V)QRi (36)

where the value of V can be computed from the relation logK)(V) = t(a/2/ n.p) (MSEp)°-5, t(a /2/ n.p) and is the 

critical value of the t-distribution for n-p degrees of freedom and is tabulated in many statistical texts, n is 

the number of observations used in the regression analysis, and p is the number of basin characteristics 

(explanatory variables) used in the regression plus one.

Example

The calculation of the standard error of a prediction and 90 percent prediction limits are illustrated 

by the following example. Suppose one wished to estimate the 50-year peak discharge at a 50-km2 

drainage-area site in region A with an average basin slope of 10 m/km. The estimate of Q$Q is obtained 

from equation 7

Qso = 6.89(50)°-803(10)°-209 = 6.89(23.13X1.618) = 258 m3/s. 

Now from table 5, T2 = 0.13342 = 0.0178. In region A n=48 and p=3. From table 5, (37)

0.037561 -0.007189 -0.017591

-0.007189 0.001660 0.003253

L-0.017591 0.032253 0.008980 J

The vector x0 = [1 log(50*.3861) log(10*3.281/.6215)] = [11.28571.7226], where the factors 0.3861 and

3.281/0.6215 convert area and slope to inch-pound units. From equation 33 MSEs=xo{XTA~1X}"1 xoT = 

0.0023. From equation 34, MSEp =(0.0178+0.0023)=0.0201, and from equation 35,

= 100{e5 -318 *0-0201 -1 }°'5 = 33.6 percent

A 90 percent prediction interval (ot=0.10) can be computed by setting 105,45 = 1-68 (from standard

statistical texts) and v=101 -68*0- 1418 = 1.731. The 90 percent prediction interval (equation 36) is (258/1.73, 

258*1.73) or (149,446). There is a 90 percent chance that a prediction interval constructed in this way 

contains the true 50-year peak discharge at the site in region A and the discharge falls within the interval 

149 to 446.

The computations needed to compute the standard error of prediction and prediction interval are of 

sufficient complexity to make a computer program desirable. Therefore, a FORTRAN program and related 

data files are given in the appendix of this report. In addition, a 3.5-inch diskette is included in the back 

pocket of this report with an executable file suitable for a 386 or higher IBM1 compatible PC with a math 

coprocessor.

The accuracy of estimating equations also can be evaluated by the equivalent years of record (EQ). 

The EQ are an estimate of the number of actual years of streamflow record required at a site to achieve an 

accuracy equivalent to the regional flood estimate from regression equations (Hardison, 1969). EQ are used 

in this report to weight the station log-Pearson Type III data with the log-linear multiple-regression floodfrequency estimate. This weighting procedure is intended to produce a flood-frequency relation at each 

site that is more realistic of the long-term relation than the log-Pearson Type III data or the log-linear 

multiple-regression flood-frequency data alone. This procedure for weighting the data is described in a 

later section of this report.

FLOOD MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY AT OR NEAR GAGED SITES ON STREAMS DRAINING 

LESS THAN 7,770 SQUARE KILOMETERS r\

Flood frequency at gaged sites draining less than 7,770 km can be estimated by a combined use of 

the gaging station frequency curve and the regression equations. The recommended procedure is to 

compute the discharge for the desired recurrence interval as a weighted average of the station value and 

the regression equations. The weighted average is based on the length of record of the station data and the 

equivalent years of record for the regression equations. The weighted values are considered the most 

accurate estimates for design purposes at a site. The equation used to compute the weighted average is:

(38) N + EQ

where,

Qx(w) is the weighted discharge for recurrence interval x,

Qx(s) is the station discharge for recurrence interval x,

Qx(r) is the regression equation discharge for recurrence interval x,

N is the number of years of station data used to compute Qx(s), and

EQ is the equivalent years of record for Qx(r).

An example of the computations is illustrated in the following table by using station 07073000, 

Strawberry River near Evening Shade. This site is in region C, therefore, the region C equations were used 

in the computations.

Flood frequency at sites with drainage areas less than 7,770 km2 that are relatively near a gaging 

station and on the same stream can be calculated by a combined use of the nearby station data and the 

linear multiple-regression equations. The following procedure is suggested for use if the site has a 

drainage area within 50 percent of the drainage area of the gaging station. The weighted value, Qx(w), and 

the regression equation value, Qx(r), for the gaged site should be computed as described in the preceding 

paragraphs.

42
The ratio,

R D Q* - <ioy

is then calculated for the gaged site. This ratio represents the correction needed to adjust the regression 

value, Qx(r), to the weighted value, Qx(w), at the gaged site. The calculations for determining the 

correction factor (R'), for an ungaged site that is near a gaged site on the same stream, have been reduced 

to the equation:*.*-*$&

where,

R' is correction factor that is multiplied by the regression value, Qx(r), for the ungaged site, 

AA is the difference between the drainage areas of the gaged and ungaged sites, and 

Ag is the drainage area of the gaged site.

If the drainage area of the ungaged site is 50 percent more than or 50 percent less than that of the gaged 

site, that is, AA/Ag is greater than 0.5, the results of the regression equations should be used without 

adjustment.

The site for which flood-frequency calculations are desired may sometimes be between two gaged 

sites on the same stream. The 50-percent rule should be applied to determine which gage, if any, should be 

used to make the adjustment. If the ungaged site is within 50 percent of both gaged sites, correction factors 

should be computed using each gaged site. If both correction factors are greater than unity, the larger 

should be used. If both correction factors are less than unity, the smaller should be used. If one is greater 

than unity and one is less than unity, an average of both correction factors should be used.

The following example illustrates the calculations for determining a 100-year flood for an ungaged 

site that is between two gaging stations on the same stream. For this example, the gaged sites are station 

07073000, Strawberry River near Evening Shade, Arkansas, and station 07074000, Strawberry River near 

Poughkeepsie, Arkansas; and the ungaged site is where the drainage area equals 777 km . Following are 

data and calculations needed for the gaged and ungaged sites, which are used to compute QJQQ at the 

ungaged site. The drainage area of the ungaged site (777 km2) is within 50 percent of the drainage areas at 

both gaged sites. Therefore, the station data for both gaged sites are used in the computations.

(1) Gaged site, 07073000, Strawberry River near Evening Shade:

Ag = 562 km2,

N = 41 years,

EQ = 12 years,

Q10o(s) = 952 m3 /s, from station data,

Q10o(r) = 1,320 m3/s, from regression equation 22,

Q10o(w) = 1,040 m3 /s, from equation 38, and

R = Q10o(w)/Q100(r) = 1,040/1,320 = 0.788, from equation 39.

43
(2) Gaged site, 07074000, Strawberry River near Poughkeepsie:

Ag = 1,230 km2,

N = 58 years,

EQ = 12 years,

Qioo(s) = 2,230 m3 /s, from station data,

Qioo(r) = 2,260 m3 /s, from regression equation 22,

Qioo(w) = 2,240 m3 /s, from equation 38, and

R = Qioo(w)/Qioo(r> = 2,240/2,260 = 0.991, from equation 39.

(3) Ungaged site:

Ag = 777 km2,

Qioo(r) = 1,650 m3 /s, from regression equation 22,

AA = 777 - 562 = 215 km2 using Evening Shade

R7 = 0.788 - 215/(0.5 x 562) x (0.788 - 1.00) = 0.950 using Evening Shade

AA = 1,230 -777 = 453 km2 using Poughkeepsie

R7 = 0.991 -453/(0.5 x 1,230) x (0.991 -1.00) =0.998 using Poughkeepsie.

Because R' is less than unity for both Evening Shade and Poughkeepsie, Evening Shade is used 

because its R7 is the smaller of the two.

QlOO = Qiooto x R/ = 1/650 x 0.950 = 1,570 m3/s.

This is considered the best estimate for the 100-year peak discharge at the ungaged site on 

Strawberry River.

REGION OF INFLUENCE METHOD

floods for each of the seven recurrence intervals are formulated for each ungaged site at which a flood 

estimate is desired. In this method the regression equations for a site are computed using data from a 

unique region called the region of influence by Burn (1990a, 1990b) and suggested by Acreman and 

Wiltshire (1987). The unique subset of gaging stations that make up the region of influence for each 

ungaged site is made up of the N nearest neighbors. In this method the nearness of two neighbors is not 

measured by the physical distance between the sites, but nearness is measured by a distance defined in 

terms of the basin characteristics. The distance between any two sites, indexed by z and /, is determined by 

the Euclidean distance metric:

(41) *' ^7AsaiA*; JJ

where,

dy is the distance between the watershed characteristics at sites i and /, 

p is the number of watershed characteristics needed to calculate d^, 

Xk represents the fcth watershed characteristic, 

sd(Xk) is the sample standard deviation for X^, and 

Kit, is the value of XL, at the z'th site.

44
In this study, three characteristics were employed:

X (1 = log[DA],

X 2 = log[SL], and

x.,3 = log[EL].

These three basin characteristics were chosen to define d^ based on a study of how well different 

combinations of basin characteristics reduce the prediction errors based on observed residuals. The d^'s

between the ungaged site z and all gaging stations/= 1,2,...,n in a region is determined, and the N gaging 

stations with smallest d^ make up the region of influence for site i. For this method to work, the value of N

should be large enough to have enough degrees of freedom in the regression to estimate two or three basin 

characteristics. For this study a N value of 42 was chosen based on a study of observed residuals for 

several different values of N.

Not all basin characteristics (DA, SL, PR, EL, and SH) are used as explanatory variables for the final 

equations. Variable selection is made by selecting only variables with significance levels less than 0.10 in a 

stepbackward regression algorithm (Montgomery and Peck, 1982; Myers, 1986). Regression coefficients 

and significance levels for the final equations are estimated using the GLS regression techniques described 

in Stedinger and Tasker (1985) and Tasker and Stedinger (1989).

In this report, the region of influence method uses the same basin characteristics as the regional 

equations with the addition of mean-annual precipitation (P). The value of P can be taken directly from 

figure 5.

The region of influence method is still being improved and is to be considered only as a second 

alternative to the regional regression equations. The regional regression equations are the recommended 

procedure. The region of influence method along with the regional regression equations have been 

provided on the diskette in the inside back cover of this report.

Method Comparison

Based on RMSE computations between the region of influence method and the regression equations 

(table 6), the region of influence method was found to produce better overall results for regions A, B, and 

C, whereas the regression equations produced slightly better results for region D. The RMSE was 

computed separately for each recurrence interval, in each region, for each method, using the stations 

known frequency discharge and the equation:

N 

where,

log P is the log base 10 of the station's frequency value,

logR is the log base 10 of the station's computed frequency value, (from each method), and 

N is the number of stations in the region.

The results of these computations are shown in table 6. 

Limitations

The following limitations should be recognized when using either the regression equations or the 

region of influence method.

1. Both methods should be used for rural areas of Arkansas and should not be used for urban areas.

2. Both methods should not be used where dams, flood-detention structures, and other 

anthropogenic works that have an effect on peak discharges. Under such conditions, streamsystem studies involving reservoir and open-channel routing, may be required to evaluate flood 

frequency. These types of studies are beyond the scope of this report.

3. Both methods should be used only for streams with drainage areas smaller than 7,770 km2 and 

main-channel slopes less than 70.3 m/km.

Software

A software packet is included with this report. It is a floppy disk that contains programs to run the 

regression equations and the region of influence method. These programs are for use on an IBM 

compatible PC, 386 or higher with a math coprocessor. The floppy disk in the back pocket of this report 

contains a program that will allow the user to compute flood frequency and magnitude estimates for 2-, 

5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year flood events.The program computes these estimates using the regional 

regression equations or the region of influence method, both of which are discussed in this report.

The program will run faster if the user copies the contents from the disk onto his hard drive and 

runs it from there. To run the executable file (ark.exe) type "ark" at the cursor and the user will be 

prompted for the necessary site information discussed in this report. This program requires 528K of RAM 

to run. Some PC's may not have enough memory available to run the program because of their 

configuration. If the program generates an error message that has to do with memory, the user may need 

to trim down the "autoexec.bat" and "config.sys" files on his hard drive. If the user's PC is networked 

with other machines the user may have to take his PC off the network to run this program. If all else fails, 

there are two files on the diskette named "autoexec.new" and "config.new" that can be copied to the user's 

hard drive as autoexec.bat and config.sys AFTER saving the original versions of these two files under 

another name.

To use the program, the user must choose between metric and inch-pound units and the prediction 

method desired. Next you will enter the necessary basin characteristics. The program will prompt the user 

for all needed information. After the last basin or climatic characteristic is entered, the program will 

output the predicted values to the screen. The region of influence method will have an output file with 

detailed information. This program is very user friendly and the user should have no problems with it. 

The FORTRAN code for this software is contained in the Appendix of this report.

FLOOD FREQUENCY FOR URBAN AREAS

Limited data for urban areas in Arkansas are available. Data presently (1995) are being collected for 

11 urban streams across the State. However, only two of these stations have been in place long enough to 

have a suitable length of record for analysis. These data consist of peaks only and are not included in this 

report.

A nationwide flood frequency report (Sauer and others, 1983) that uses urban characteristics to 

adjust rural discharges to estimate urban discharges is available. Equations in the report were developed 

using all available U.S. Geological Survey urban data throughout the United States along with the 

respective rural discharge. The equations in the report should be applicable to urban Arkansas streams.

Three sets of equations are shown in the report by Sauer and others (1983) for computing urban 

discharges. Two sets of the equation use seven characteristics for estimating discharge and the other set 

uses three characteristics. Recent studies in the southeastern part of the Nation indicate that the threeparameter equations are biased for certain areas, whereas the seven-parameter equations are not biased. 

The seven- parameter equations are the most accurate available estimate of the urban flood frequency in 

Arkansas and are listed below. The following equations and definitions are excerpts from Sauer and others

The basin development factor (BDF) describes the conditions of the drainage system. The following 

description of the BDF and how it is computed is a quotation from Sauer and others (1983).

The most significant index of urbanization that results from this study is a basin development 

factor (BDF), which provides a measure of the efficiency of the drainage system. This parameter, which 

proved to be highly significant in the regression equations, can be easily determined from drainage maps 

and field inspections of the drainage basin. The basin is first divided into thirds. Then, within each third, 

four aspects of the drainage system are evaluated and each assigned a code as follows:

1. Channel improvements.-- If channel improvements such as straightening, enlarging deepening, 

and clearing are prevalent for the main drainage channels and principal tributaries (those that drain 

directly into the main channel), then a code of 1 is assigned. Any or all of these improvements would 

qualify for a code of 1. To be considered prevalent, at least 50 percent of the main drainage channels and 

principal tributaries must be improved to some degree over natural conditions. If channel improvements 

are not prevalent, then a code of zero is assigned.

2. Channel linings. If more than 50 percent of the length of the main drainage channels and 

principal tributaries has been lined with an impervious material, such as concrete, then a code of 1 is 

assigned to this aspect. If less than 50 percent of these channels is lined, then a code of zero is assigned. The 

presence of channel linings would indicate the presence of channel improvements as well. Therefore, this 

is an added factor and indicates a more highly developed drainage system.

3. Storm drains, or storm sewers. Storm drains are defined as enclosed drainage structures 

(usually pipes), frequently used on the second tributaries where the drainage is received directly from 

streets or parking lots. Many of these drains empty into open channels; however, in some basins the drains 

empty into channels enclosed as box or pipe culverts. When more than 50 percent of the secondary 

tributaries within a subarea (third) consists of storm drains, then a code of 1 is assigned to this aspect; if 

less than 50 percent of the secondary tributaries consists of storm drains, then a code of zero is assigned. It 

should be noted that if 50 percent or more of the main drainage channels and principal tributaries are 

enclosed, then the aspects of channel improvements and channel linings would also be assigned a code of 

one.

4. Curb-and-gutter streets. If more than 50 percent of a subarea (third) is urbanized (covered by 

residential, commercial, and/or industrial development), and if more than 50 percent of the streets and 

highways in the subarea are constructed with curbs and gutters then a code of 1 would be assigned to this 

aspect. Otherwise, this aspect would be assigned a code of zero. Drainage from curb-and-gutter streets 

frequently empties into storm drains.

The above guidelines for determining the various drainage-system codes are not intended to be 

precise measurements. A certain amount of subjectivity will necessarily be involved. Field checking 

should be performed to obtain an accurate estimate. The BDF is the sum of the assigned codes; therefore, 

with three subareas (thirds) per basin, and four drainage aspects to which codes are assigned in each 

subarea, the maximum value for a fully developed drainage system would be 12. Conversely, if the 

drainage system were totally undeveloped, then a BDF of zero would result. Such a condition does not 

necessarily mean that the basin is unaffected by urbanization. In fact, a basin could be partially urbanized, 

have some impervious area, have some improvement of secondary tributaries, and still have an assigned 

BDF of zero.

The BDF is a fairly easy index to estimate for an existing urban basin. The 50-percent guideline will 

usually not be difficult to evaluate because many urban areas tend to use the same design criteria and, 

therefore, have similar drainage aspects throughout. Also, the BDF is convenient for projecting future 

development. Obviously, full development and maximum urban effects on peaks would occur when BDF 

= 12. Projections of full development or intermediate stages of development can usually be obtained from 

city engineers.

CONCLUSIONS

Methods are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges in Arkansas. 

Flood data from 204 gaging stations were used to develop regression equations to estimate peak 

discharges with selected recurrence intervals of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years on streams that 

drain less than 7,770 km. The State was divided into four regions to improve the accuracy of the 

regression equations. Region A includes most of the Arkansas River Basin in Arkansas. Region B includes 

most of the Red River Basin in Arkansas. Region C includes most of the White River Basin in Arkansas. 

Region D includes most of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in Arkansas, with the exception of Crowleys 

Ridge, which is considered as part of Region C. Regression equations were developed separately for the 

four regions.

The regression analysis for Region A indicates that drainage area and main channel slope were the 

most significant basin characteristics that affect the magnitude and frequency of floods. The average 

standard error of prediction of these equations ranges from 31 to 45 percent. The regression analysis for 

Region B indicated that drainage area, mean basin elevation, and the basin shape factor were the most 

significant basin characteristics that affect the magnitude and frequency of floods. The average standard 

error of prediction of these equations ranged from 38 to 43 percent.The regression analysis for Region C 

indicated that drainage area was the most significant basin characteristic that affects the magnitude and 

frequency of floods. The average standard error of prediction of these equations ranged from 35 to 42 

percent. The regression analysis for Region D indicated that drainage area, main channel slope, and basin 

shape factor were the most significant basin characteristics that affect the magnitude and frequency of 

floods. The average standard error of prediction of these equations ranged from 31 to 56 percent.

An alternate procedure, the region of influence method, is included in this report. The procedure is 

software based, and therefore requires the use of a PC to run the program. This method uses a significant 

parameter subset of contributing drainage area, main channel slope, mean annual precipitation, mean 

basin elevation, and the shape factor for estimating peak discharges with selected recurrence intervals of 

2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years on streams that drain less than 7,770 km2. The region of influence 

method performs a regression analyses for each station entered, by selecting a 42 similar site subset of the 

same data used to compute the regression equations.

A method is described for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges on streams 

for urban areas in Arkansas. This method is based on a nationwide U.S. Geological Survey flood frequency 

report that uses urban characteristics to adjust rural discharge to estimate urban discharges.

APPENDIX 2

FLOOD MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY ON LARGE STREAMS 

IN ARKANSAS THROUGH 1984

The following information is the result of the flood frequency analysis of large rivers in Arkansas. 

This information was taken directly from the previous flood frequency report for Arkansas (Neely, 1987b) 

and provided here at the request of the cooperator.

2-1
FLOOD MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY ON LARGE RIVERS

NOTE: This section is taken directly from the previous flood frequency report for Arkansas (Neely 

1986) at the request of the cooperator. No changes have been made in the data or the results.

Large rivers have floodflow characteristics differing from those of smaller tributary streams and 

were treated individually. The peak discharges for recurrence intervals of 2,5,10,25,50, and 100 years for 

all gaging stations on large streams and regulated streams are listed in table 2-1 . The peak discharge for 

regulated streams reflects the pattern of regulation. If the pattern of regulation changes, the discharges will 

change. 

Mississippi River

The Mississippi River is one of the longest rivers in the world. Its drainage basin extends from New 

York to Montana and includes about 40 percent of the conterminous United States. A flood-frequency 

study of such a river is outside the scope of this report. Flood-frequency relations at three gaging stations 

are shown in figure 2-1 and can be used as a guide to estimate discharges at nearby places along the river. 

St. Francis River

Regulation began April 1,1941, by Wappapello Reservoir. The storage capacity of Wappapello Reservoir is 625,000 acre-ft. Downstream from the gaging station at Lake City (07040450), the flow separates 

into several channels. The flood frequency curves for St. Francis River, shown in figure 2-2, include the 

effect of regulation and is the combined discharge of all channels. 

Black River

The regulation by Clearwater Reservoir (storage capacity 413,700 acre-ft) has only a slight effect on 

flood peaks of the Black River. Data collected prior to regulation at the gaging station near Corning 

(07064000) was used in developing the Region C frequency curves (formerly Region A in Neely's 1986 

report). The flood frequency curves for the Black River are shown in figure 2-3. 

Arkansas River

The flow of the Arkansas River is regulated by many locks, dams, and reservoirs. The flood frequency curves shown in figure 2-4 include the effect of regulation. The flood frequency curves for station 

07250550, which are based on 15 years of record, were adjusted to the 45-year period at the two other stations. 

White River

The flow of the White River is regulated by Beaver Lake, Table Rock Lake, Bull Shoals Lake, Norfork 

Lake, and Greers Ferry Lake. Upstream regulation begins at Beaver Lake near Eureka Springs where the 

drainage area is 1,192 square miles. The frequency curves on figure 2-5 show the effects of regulation.

2-2
Upstream from Beaver Lake, the discharge frequency should be computed using the regression equations 

and the gaging station data shown in table 3. 

Red River

The flow of the Red River is regulated by Lake Texoma, Pat Mayse Lake, Hugo Lake, Millwood 

Lake, and Wright Patman Lake. The flood frequency curves in figure 2-6 include the effects of regulation. 

Quachita River

The flow of the Ouachita River is regulated by Lake Catherine, Lake Hamilton, and Lake Ouachita. 

Upstream regulation begins with Lake Ouachita at Blakely Mountain Dam which has a drainage area of 

1,105 square miles. The flood frequency curves in figure 2-7 include the effects of regulation. Upstream 

from Lake Ouachita, the discharge frequency should be computed using the regression equations and the 

gaging station data shown in table 2.

APPENDIX 3

ANNUAL PEAK DISCHARGE AND STAGE DATA AT GAGING STATIONS ON

REGULATED STREAMS THROUGH 1984

The following table and data sets were used in the flood frequency analysis of regulated streams in 

Arkansas. This information was taken directly from the previous flood frequency report for Arkansas 

(Neely, 1987b) and provided here at the request of the cooperator.

3-1
07032000 Mississippi River at Memphis, Tennessee

Location.--Lat 35°07'37", long 90°04'25", on left bank 50 ft downstream from Harahan Bridge at Memphis, Shelby County, 1.3 mi downstream

from Beale Street gage, 3.3 mi downstream from Wolf River, 70 mi upstream from St Francis River, and at mile 734.8.

Drainage area.-932.800 mi2.

Gage. Nonrecording prior to April 16,1934, at site 1.3 mi upstream (Beale Street gage) and April 16 to December 21, 1934, in present vicinity;

recording thereafter. All gages at datum 183.91 ft above sea level, 184.21 ft above mean Gulf level (1912, Mississippi River Commission), and

190.86 ft on Memphis datum (1881, Mississippi River Commission). To adjust gage height, obtained at present site to those obtained at Beale

Street, add 0.3 ft for each 10-ft increment of stage.

Stage-discharge relation. Denned by current-meter measurements.(Measurements made frequently since 1932 and occasionally from 1882 to

1904). 

Remarks. Records furnished by Corps of Engineers. Natural flow of stream affected by many reservoirs and navigation dams. Records i 

prior to 1935 from reports of Mississippi River Commission. Only annual peaks are shown.

Location.--Lat 35°32'15", long 90°29'05", in SE 1/4 NE 1/4 sec.31, T.ll N., R.6 E., on downstream side of bridge on U.S. Highway 63,3.6 mi

west of Marked Tree.

Drainage area. Indeterminate. Total drainage area of St. Francis River and St. Francis River floodway, 5,148 mi2.

Gage.-Nonrecording. Prior to October 1, 1965, at site 4.8 mi upstream at datum 192.08 ft above sea level (Morgan Engineering Co. benchmark).

Datum of present gage is 185.00 ft above sea level.

Stage-discharge relation. Defined by current-meter measurements below 47,000 ft /s.

Remarks. Flow diverted from St. Francis River bypasses Marked Tree and returns to St. Francis River downstream from Marianna. Regulation by 

Wappapello Reservoir since 1941 (capacity 625,000 acre-ft) does not materially affect peak flows. (See St. Francis River at Marked Tree for maximum daily discharges).

Historical data. Gage-height records date back to 1893, but are not comparable to stages experienced since 1928 due to levee construction.

Remarks.--The greater part of St Francis River floodflow is diverted through St. Francis River floodway at Murray Lock and Dam, about 4 mi 

northwest of Marked Tree, and is not included in records for this station. Diverted flow, which is included in records for St. Francis Bay at Riverfront, returns to St Francis River below Marianna.

Location.-Lat 33°07'24". long 91°20'55", on line between secs.18 and 19, T.18 S., R.2 W., on downstream side of bridge on State Highway 8, 1.4

mi downstream from Canal No. 2, 5 mi west of Eudora, and at mile 205.7.

Drainage area.-640 mi2 (See Remark).

Gage.-Nonrecording prior to May 3,1951; recording thereafter. Datum of gage is 83.24 ft above sea level, supplementary adjustment of 1941.

Stage-discharge relation.-Denned by current-meter measurements.

Bankfull stage.-21 ft.

Remarks. Gage-height records and current-meter measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers. Discharge computed from rating curves based

on available measurements. Major channel improvements made during 1955. Interconnecting systems of bayous and drainage ditches produce an

interchange of flow under varying conditions; hence, the drainage limits were arbitrarily determined. During extreme floods considerable flow

bypasses station. Only annual peaks are shown.

07369700 Bayou Macon near Kilbourne, Louisiana

Location.-Lat 32°39'35", long 91°15'45", in Sw 1/4 SE 1/4 sec.8 T.23 N., R.12 E., on downstream side of bridge on Louisiana State Highway

585,3/4 mi south of Arkansas-Louisiana State line, and 3 mi east of Kilbourne.

Drainage area. 504 mi (See Remarks).

Gage. Recording. Datum of gage is 75.41 ft above sea level (Corps of Engineers benchmarks). Prior to October 1,1965, at datum 2.00 ft higher.

All gage heights adjusted to present datum.

Stage-discharge relation. Defined by current-meter measurements below 4,700 ft3/s. Affected by fall.

Remarks. Large diversions upstream from station for irrigation. Interconnecting systems of bayous and drainage ditches produce an interchange

of flow under varying conditions; hence, the drainage limits were arbitrarily determined. Only annual peaks are shown.
