In the early 2000s, Texas Department of Transportation funded several research projects to examine unit hydrograph and rainfall hyetograph techniques for hydrologic design in estimation flows stormwater drainage systems. A consortium comprised Lamar University, Tech University Houston, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), was chosen techniques. Rainfall runoff data collected by USGS at 91 streamflow-gaging stations formed a basis research. These were as part small-watershed urban watershed studies that began late 1950s continued through most 1970s; few gages operation mid-1980s. Selected events from these available form over 220 printed reports, which offered best aggregation objectives. Digital versions did not exist. Therefore, significant effort undertaken manually enter into digital database record. The 1,650 storms entered. To enhance integrity, considerable quality-control quality-assurance efforts conducted assembled after assembly integrity. This report documents informs interested parties on its usage.
