U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PEAK FLOWS

The following chart, from U.S. Geological Survey data, shows a summary of the peak stages and discharges during floods from July 4 to July 16, 1994, in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

[m², square miles; ft. feet above an arbitrary datum; ft ³/s, cubic feet per second*, new peak of record; a, approximately; d, discharge may have been affected by dam break; --, not determined or not applicable; <,less than ;>, greater than; number () is the ratio of the peak discharge to the 100-year flood discharge. Source: Recurrence intervals calculated from U.S. Geological Survey data through 1990 water year. Other data from U.S. Geological Survey reports or data bases]
