| Abstract |
Results of research involving flood frequencies and alluvial in humid and semi-humid regions of the United States suggests a frequent recurrence interval will inundate most alluvial soils. This study examines the recurrence interval relationship to alluvial soils in a semi-arid environment. The 7-15 year range of flooding recurrence intervals indicated for this area of the High Plains adds data from a semi-arid environment that seems to be agreement with conclusions from more humid locations. Soil surveys that map alluvial soils are a low cost, practical method for delineating flood plains in a rural environment.
