Abstract

To aid highway planners and others who must site structures and fills in natural floodplains, simplified graphical solutions were developed that provide short-cut methods for easy assessment of encroachment impacts. Changes in stage (water-surface elevation) and hydrograph peak discharge due to encroachments were determined. The discussion is limited to encroachments that parallel the channel. (Author)
