Annual peak stages and discharges for streamflow-gaging stations in Mississippi

TL;DRAbstract

Knowing the magnitude and frequency of floods on a regional basis does not always meet all the needs for flood information. It is often helpful to know at-site peak stages and discharges; such information can provide a better understanding of the hydraulic and hydrologic characteristics of flooding at a particular stream site. Annual peak stages and discharges are presented in this report for 341 streamflow-gaging stations in Mississippi. Gage location, type of gage, gage datum, basin characteristics (drainage area, slope, and length), statistics of logarithms of annual peak discharge (mean, standard deviation, and skew), and selected flood-frequency discharges with recurrence intervals from 2 to 500 years are also presented, if available.
